One live session. Everyone answers in their own language

One room. One shared screen of results.

A Nabad live session runs while you present. You write each question once, people join on their phones with a six-digit code or the QR code on your screen, and each phone shows the question in its owner's language. Answers land on one screen as they come in, and open answers are translated live. Eighty-six languages, no app, no account.

No credit card · Nothing to install for the people answering · Free plan included

Write your question once

Type it in your own language and choose how the room answers: a poll, a word cloud, a Q&A and more.

In a room that is not all one language, a live poll usually runs in the presenter's language. The people most at home in it answer first and answer fully. Everyone else waits, guesses, or picks whatever the room seems to be picking.

The workarounds do not help much: a second screen in another language, a colleague translating out loud, or two polls whose results never meet.

Nabad does the obvious thing instead. One session, one code, one shared screen, and each person reads and answers in the language they think in.

Why Nabad

A multilingual room, not a translated slide

Four things that decide whether the whole room takes part, or only the part that shares your language.

Each phone speaks its owner's language

Eighty-six languages, including English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Hindi and Chinese. Nabad opens in the language the phone is set to when you offer it, and anyone can switch. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and Pashto read right to left, properly.

Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for

A six-digit code or a QR scan opens the session in any mobile browser. No download, no account, no email address before someone can answer.

Results move as people answer

Bars grow, word clouds fill in and Q&A questions climb as the room votes, all on the one screen you present, whatever language each answer came in.

Open answers translated as they arrive

Open text, Q&A questions and word-cloud entries are translated live, so a question typed in Arabic and one typed in Spanish sit side by side and get answered by the same speaker.

How it works

Three steps, about five minutes

1

Write it once

Polls, word clouds, open text, Q&A, rankings, rating scales and more. Write each question in one language and pick which languages the room can use.

2

Show the code

Your screen shows a six-digit code and a QR code. People join from their phones, each in their own language, in a few seconds.

3

Present one result

Move through the questions together. Everyone's answers add up on one screen, and after the session you keep one set of results.

Which one

A live session, or a survey

Same questions, same eighty-six languages, same results screen. The difference is whether the people answering are in a room with you right now.

Live session

People are in a room

  • One question at a time, together
  • Results move on the screen as they vote
  • Word clouds, group formation, random picker
  • For talks, classes, town halls, workshops
Survey

People are not in a room

  • Open for a window you choose
  • Answered at each person's own pace
  • Results can stay hidden until it closes
  • Reaches the people who could not attend

Where it helps

Built for rooms that are not all one language

Conferences and events

Keynotes and panels where delegations arrive speaking four different languages and the questions should come from all of them.

Classrooms

Newcomer and mixed-language classes where every student can answer, not only the ones fluent in the language of instruction. For teachers

Town halls and all-hands

Company and municipal meetings where the honest questions often come from the people least comfortable asking out loud.

Workshops and training

Sessions where checking understanding matters, and a wrong answer in a second language says nothing about what someone knows.

Community meetings

Associations, parent evenings and settlement programs where the whole room should be heard, in the languages it actually speaks.

Faith and cultural gatherings

Congregations and cultural centres with several generations and several languages in the same hall.

Is Nabad only for multilingual rooms?

No. Nabad is your all-in-one: one tool for every room you run.

One language

  • Runs in your language, nothing to set up
  • Your audience never sees a language menu
  • Every question type: polls, word clouds, rankings, Q&A

More than one

  • Everyone joins in their own language, automatically
  • Open answers are translated live as they arrive
  • One screen of results for the whole room
Common questions

Multilingual live polling, answered

Is Nabad only for multilingual rooms?

No. You choose how many languages a session runs in. Pick one and untick the rest, and there is nothing to switch between, so the language picker never appears. The day the room is not all one language, you turn the others on and everyone reads and answers in their own.

How does each person get their own language?

They join with the six-digit code or by scanning the QR code on your screen, and Nabad opens in the language their phone is set to whenever the session offers it. They can switch to any of the languages you turned on. You present in yours.

Do participants need an app or an account?

No. They join in any mobile browser with the code or the QR code. No download, no sign-up, no email address. Only the host needs an account.

What can I ask in a live session?

Live polls, multi-select, word clouds, open text, Q&A with upvotes, rankings, rating scales, a 0 to 100 scale, group formation and a random picker. Results move on the shared screen as people answer.

Are open answers translated?

Yes. Open text, Q&A questions and word-cloud entries are translated as they arrive, so an answer typed in Arabic and one typed in Spanish appear together on the same screen.

How many people can join?

The free plan covers rooms of up to 30 people, with unlimited sessions, every question type and all 86 languages. Paid plans raise the limit per session. The details are on the pricing page.

What if people cannot attend live?

Run the same questions as a survey instead. A survey stays open for a window you choose and each person answers on their own time, in their own language.
