X-Translator: A Real-Time Multilingual Speaker-Aware Speech-to-Speech Translation System

X-Translator is a low‑cost, modular real‑time speech‑to‑speech translation system that integrates streaming ASR, machine translation, and prompt‑conditioned TTS, managed by a session‑level runtime controller. It uses incremental segment commitment to stabilize ASR streams and an online speaker prompt manager to maintain speaker consistency across multi‑speaker conversations. The system is evaluated on translation quality, speech naturalness, latency, and speaker preservation using OpenSTBench, and its code and demo are publicly available on GitHub.

Dynamic Lagging using Stable-Prefix Training for Simultaneous Translation

The paper introduces a training strategy for cascaded simultaneous speech translation that allows the system to dynamically decide how much of the source prefix to translate. By fine‑tuning a large language model (Qwen3‑8B) on stable prefixes—pairs of source prefixes and the longest shared translation with the full sentence—the authors enable contextual read‑write decisions beyond fixed wait‑k or target‑suffix deletion. Experiments on English‑to‑German, Japanese, and Chinese demonstrate that stable prefixes improve the quality‑latency tradeoff across various test sets.

Simulstream: Open-Source Toolkit for Evaluation and Demonstration of Streaming Speech-to-Text Translation Systems

Simulstream is an open‑source toolkit designed to evaluate and demonstrate streaming speech‑to‑text translation systems. It supports both incremental and re‑translation decoding on long‑form speech, offers fine‑grained logging for quality and latency metrics, and includes an interactive web interface for real‑time visualization and comparison. The toolkit addresses the fragmented evaluation landscape by providing a unified framework that accommodates different decoding strategies and input formats.
