1. A method for speech-to-speech translation using a translation system, comprising:
- designating separate input channels for each of a plurality of speakers;
in response to speech from a first channel in a first language, translating the speech from the first channel to a second language; and
in response to speech from the second channel in a second language, translating the speech from the second channel to the first language;
wherein the steps of translating the speech from the first channel and translating the speech from the second channel are performed concurrently.
