As global organizations expand across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, the demand for bilingual language access is at an all-time high. An English interpreter and translator solution allows speakers and audience members to communicate fluently in real time, whether hosting an internal town hall, international conference, webinar, or training session.
Meetings and events are more engaging and inclusive when everyone speaks the same language, but that is not always possible. Human interpreters and translators are an option, but the high cost and logistical complexity limits their use to big budget events and large organizations.
Wordly solves the multilingual collaboration challenge by providing an on-demand, AI-powered platform that delivers high quality simultaneous English audio interpretation, translated subtitles, and instant transcripts. Attendees simply scan a QR code or click a link on their smartphone, tablet, or laptop and select English audio or English captions. Wordly eliminates the high hourly per language fees, scheduling delays, and equipment headaches of traditional human interpreters.
Offering translation services is a great way to increase engagement, productivity, and inclusivity across your organization.
Example of an English interpreter translating English to English.
English is the world's premier lingua franca, spoken by over 1.5 billion people globally. Fewer than 400 million are native speakers, meaning over 1.1 billion use it as a second or acquired language. The United States holds the largest native English-speaking population at roughly 300 million people, followed by the United Kingdom (over 60 million), Canada (over 20 million), Australia (over 18 million), and Ireland (over 4.5 million). Furthermore, massive multilingual nations like India feature over 125 million fluent English speakers, alongside significant populations across Nigeria (over 100 million) and the Philippines (over 60 million).
With millions of native English speakers worldwide, English is an important language for businesses and non-profits as well as government agencies, schools, and universities. In order to ensure your audience understand everything being presented, and you meet applicable language access compliance requirements, it is important to offer live bidirectional English interpretation (e.g., Spanish to English and English to Spanish; English to French and French to English; English to Japanese and Japanese to English, etc.). This leads to a much more inclusive and engaging experience for attendees at conferences, internal meetings, training sessions, and meetings where important information is presented. This benefits customers, employees, partners, and other important members of your community (parents, teachers, students, residents, etc.).

Wordly translation and captions include the following features:
According to the 2026 State of AI Translation and Captions Report, conducted by Dimensional Research for Wordly, two-thirds of event professionals now rate the quality of AI interpretation and captioning as better than human interpreters.
Wordly uses multiple highly specialized AI models built specifically for language interpretation to ensure we deliver high quality translation and captions every time. We do not rely on generative AI models for translation or captions, and we do not use open models which would expose conversations to public LLMs. We constantly test which models provide the best results for each language and also optimize models for different use cases, including speech to text and text to speech. We have been building, refining, and scaling our AI platform since 2017 and have delivered over 1 billion minutes of live interpretation, proving our solution is very reliable and scalable.

English interpreter rates vary significantly based on the mode of interpretation, delivery method, subject complexity, duration, and location. Specialized topics like medical, legal, and technology events command top-tier pricing. Rates can vary from $100 to $200 per hour. You usually need to hire 2 interpreters, which doubles the cost to $200 to $400 per hour, so they can take regular breaks throughout the day. Sound booths can add $500 to $1,000 per day and seat 2 interpreters. Headsets can cost $10-$25 per attendee per day and travel costs can add another $1,000 per interpreter per event. Total costs quickly escalate and exceed the budget for most organizations.
AI-powered interpretation platforms like Wordly drastically reduce costs by using technology to eliminate the need to hire two interpreters per language. Wordly also supports over 60 languages for one flat price, usually under $150 per hour - enabling you to save up to 90% versus human translators when you need more than one language. You also eliminate interpreter travel costs and the need to rent special sound booths and headphones. You also get access to live captions, transcripts, and summaries which help you meet accessibility compliance requirements and support post event communication and marketing campaigns.
