    The great thing about television, is that “live” is a flexible concept.
    The playback software could happily play 10 seconds ahead of what’s actually on the screen, and have plenty of time to translate like that.
    In the same way that we sometimes put delays into live events to allow the subtitling systems breathing room.

      I’ve always heard this was because of the infamous Superbowl Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction (where the malfunction was that only one nip was slipped and not both as was clearly intended)
