In which language is a debate summary written?

  • Verified on
  • Scope France and Europe

The summary follows the language of the sitting: French for the Assemblée and the Sénat, English for the EU institutions, whatever your account.

The language follows the sitting, not your account.

In detail

Debate summaries, automatic and tailored alike, are written in the language of the sitting.

Sitting Language of the summary
Assemblée nationale, Sénat French
European Parliament, Council, European Commission English

Why the sitting decides

An EU meeting often mixes several languages. The summary is written in a language set by the institution, rather than guessed from a transcript that contains several. You always know which language you will read it in.

And the transcript?

The transcript stays in the language spoken. An EU meeting can move from one language to another, and the transcript follows those changes. In the Parliament and the Council, an English translation of the interventions may also be offered when it is available in Dixit.
