Yes, Ligue 1 + is visible in Italy and LFP Media is thinking of its transalpine subscribers. Since mid-September, the Professional Football League (LFP) platform has been available on La Botte, although the French Championship is also broadcast on Sky Sport. To allow its Italian subscribers to follow the Champions Trophy in the best conditions, Ligue 1 + will use artificial intelligence to translate the comments of journalists and consultants responsible for describing the match in Italian, reports L’Équipe.
The match will be held this Thursday in Kuwait City (7 p.m.). It will pit Paris Saint-Germain against Olympique de Marseille and Italian viewers will be able to watch the game live with commentary in their own language, even if it is not spoken by humans.
A test
Rather than soliciting Italian-speaking comments, the League preferred to call on the company CAMB.AI, whose headquarters is located in Dubai. The AI developed by this company would not only be capable of translating the words of Xavier Domergue and Benoît Cheyrou, but also of reproducing their intonation.
Transalpine subscribers will have the choice between descriptions in the original version or in Italian. For the moment, this system is only a test, to be repeated if the test is convincing.
