I'm not sure about other religions; but when one of Jehovah's Witnesses gives a discourse; or expresses a comment, in a different tongue, we always have an interpreter; -- just as a government dignitary from Another Country brings along a translator.

1 Cor 14:27 states: "And if someone speaks in a tongue, let it be limited to two or three at the most, and in turns; and let someone translate."

"If some speak in a [strange] tongue, let the number be limited to two or at the most three, and each one [taking his] turn, and let one interpret and explain [what is said]." (Amplified Bible)

"and someone should always be there to explain what you mean." (CEV)

We have both male and female interpreters / translators, whoever is available, and taking turns.

I can see that working IF the "tongue is a genuine foreign language, otherwise it's just a rehearsed double-act because the "interpreter" would have to know what the speaker is saying - or be the original speaker after all, of course. This "speaking in tongues" to refer to someone who is actually babbly incoherently rather than talking fluently in another language, is nothing new, but it would take a psychologist to explain why people sometimes do this.
