Government organizations are chartered with serving the needs of their constituents at the local, state, and national level. Most governments have a diverse community of residents that often speak a different first language than the language used for both community meetings and internal meetings. This includes city council meetings, employee training, county / state planning sessions, and much more. Language barriers lead to lower engagement and comprehension.
In order to increase civic engagement and provide an inclusive community, it is important to be able to speak to everyone in their preferred language. They want to participate in community meetings to stay abreast of current events and have a voice in government decisions, but are often restricted due to language barriers. For example, most government entities in the US run their meetings and events in English - and do not get the level of civic engagement they want. This same issue happens in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, and dozens of countries around the world every day.

There are three primary options for addressing the language barrier at government meetings.
1. Do Nothing
The most common solution is to do nothing. While this is the cheapest and least time consuming option in the short term, there are significant long term costs when residents are unable to understand community meetings and do not attend or fully engage.
2. Use Human Translators
Human translators have been used for years and are a common option for government meetings and events around the world. Human interpretation is a good option for large, complex events which are planned months in advance and supported by large budgets and teams to coordinate all of the logistics. But the time and cost of offering human interpretation often makes this option not viable for most government organizations.
3. Use Live AI Translation and Captioning
A fast-growing option is AI translation. These tech solutions are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hosted in a secure cloud infrastructure, removing the need for human interpreters and special equipment. AI translation is being implemented across a wide range of government meetings.
