I speak my Cree language and we are able to understand our Ojibway brothers as our languages are related. It would be very nice to be able to hear the language and his speaking instead of the voice over of the translator. I was looking forward to this moment partly to hear the content of what he is saying but partly also just to hear his voice and the sound of the actual language being used.

I would like to have actually been able to listen to him with CC instead of the interpreter speaking over him.
