Conference Translation Services

Make Conferences More Inclusive, Accessible, and Engaging

Conferences provide an efficient way to communicate a wide range of content, including product announcements, educational seminars, inspirational keynotes, networking sessions, product demos, and much more. Many conferences offer both an in-person and virtual attendance option. In order to make conference management easier, event management platforms have been developed and offer a wide range of solutions, including  ticket sales, attendee registration, gamification, networking, and other key components required for a successful event.

The one thing event management platforms do not solve is multilingual collaboration. Wordly solves this problem with AI-powered conference translation - providing a revolutionary solution that increases inclusivity and engagement by providing an affordable, on-demand, easy to use solution.

Now you can offer live conference translation for all of your events. Wordly works alongside all major event management platforms, including Zoom, Teams, and others.

Translation vs Interpretation

A common misconception in the world of language services is to refer to everything as translation. This can create some issues when it comes to understanding peoples’ roles and capabilities, especially when both translators and interpreters may be required for an event for different reasons.

The main distinction between translators and interpreters is in how they deal with language. Translators work with the written word, ultimately producing a text in the required language. An interpreter deals with communications that usually happen live, in-person.

Top Reasons to Offer Conference Translation

In a translation benchmark research report conducted by Dimensional Research, 76% of meeting and event planners reported their use of translation at multilingual events is increasing. The top 3 business benefits to offering event translation included:

Global Reach - Conferences have a global reach. Wordly gives conferences global appeal. Allow employees, customers, and partners to participate in their preferred language to develop a deeper relationship with them. Make attending your conference more comfortable and enjoyable for all participants. 

‍Attendee Engagement - Live translation adds another layer of excitement to a conference which delights and captivates online participants as it continuously renders transcripts before their eyes. This heightened engagement is crucial when it is so easy for participants to switch tabs and be distracted away from your conference content.

‍Translated Transcripts - Automated translation transcripts can also be offered after the event as another way to stay engaged with your audience.

‍Automated Glossaries - Wordly enables you to create a custom glossary to help ensure important names and terms are translated correctly at your conference.

How Wordly Solves Conference Translation Challenges

• Wordly solved the conference translation problem by developing the industry's first 100% AI simultaneous interpretation platform - providing a fast, easy, and affordable solution for today's global, multilingual, virtual world.
• Wordly is powered by AI and does not require human interpreters or special equipment. Traditional conference interpretation solutions require a multi-step process: The on-stage speaker gives a speech or presentation in their own language. This is known as the source language. Two interpreters work in a booth at the same time, taking turns. The interpreter listens to the speaker and communicates the meaning of the words in the required language. This is known as the target language.
  
  Throughout the conference, the audience wears headsets. These headsets allow audience members to listen to the speech in their own language, as a result of the conference translator’s actions – the interpreters in the booth. While effective it is also very expensive and logistically complicated to plan and execute.
