1 Choose your languages wisely

The first step to create a bilingual presentation is to decide which languages you will use and how you will use them. Depending on your audience, your topic, and your goal, you may choose to use one language as the main language and the other as a support language, or to use both languages equally throughout the presentation. You may also choose to use different languages for different sections, such as the introduction, the main points, and the conclusion. Whatever you choose, make sure you have a clear rationale and a consistent pattern for your language use.

2 Adapt your content for both languages

The next step is to adapt your content for both languages, taking into account the cultural, linguistic, and technical aspects of each one. You may need to adjust the tone, the style, the terminology, the examples, and the references to suit each language and audience. You may also need to simplify or shorten some parts of your content to avoid repetition, confusion, or overload. Remember that translating your content word for word is not enough; you need to make sure that your content is clear, relevant, and engaging for both languages.

One thing that I have found useful in creating bilingual content is the use of infographics. Infographics are universal, adaptable and most importantly helps your audience understand the content in a visually pleasing manner. Having certain texts translated is also another way that includes your audience so they can make meaningful contributions to the topic.

3 Design your slides for bilingual readability

The third step is to design your slides for bilingual readability, meaning that your slides should be easy to read and follow for both languages. This may involve choosing a font, a size, a color, and a layout that work well for both languages. You may also need to use different formats, such as bullet points, tables, graphs, or images, to present your information in a visually appealing and accessible way. You may also want to use some cues, such as flags, icons, or labels, to indicate which language is being used on each slide.

In my experience, using different font colors to differentiate the two languages makes it easy for the audience to read. Maybe one language is bold while the other is italicized, etc.

4 Practice your delivery for bilingual fluency

The fourth step is to practice your delivery for bilingual fluency, meaning that you should be able to speak confidently and smoothly in both languages. This may require some extra preparation, such as rehearsing your script, recording your voice, or getting feedback from native speakers. You may also need to pay attention to your pronunciation, your intonation, your pace, and your transitions between languages. You may also want to use some strategies, such as pauses, questions, or jokes, to keep your audience engaged and attentive.

5 Prepare for bilingual interaction

The fifth step is to prepare for bilingual interaction, meaning that you should be ready to answer questions, receive feedback, or have a discussion in both languages. This may involve anticipating some possible questions, preparing some answers, or having some resources at hand. You may also need to manage the time, the space, and the technology to facilitate the interaction. You may also want to use some techniques, such as repeating, summarizing, or clarifying, to ensure that everyone understands and participates.

6 Evaluate your bilingual performance

The sixth and final step is to evaluate your bilingual performance, meaning that you should reflect on your strengths and weaknesses, your achievements and challenges, and your areas for improvement. You may want to ask for feedback from your audience, your peers, or your mentors. You may also want to review your slides, your notes, or your recordings. You may also want to set some goals, plan some actions, or seek some opportunities to improve your bilingual presentation skills.
