disagree  Eynati: Not idiomatic in this context. IF: yes, if; but you can't use 'spoken' merely because there is an outside chance that it may be spoken.
4 hrs
  -> Eynati, none of us knows what the context is. Whether its a screen menu or not - if its for a translation and live interpretation agency's website, then the emphasis on "speaking" is quite relevant to the meaning.
