The City of San José, one of the most linguistically diverse cities in California, replaced costly in-person interpreters with the Wordly AI translation tool to expand language access for all residents. By adopting real-time translation and captions in dozens of languages, the city eliminated the need for separate rooms and limited headsets, saving more than $250,000 annually while increasing community participation. With bilingual YouTube channels, custom glossaries for local terms, and seamless access through QR codes and screens, Wordly makes San José’s public meetings more inclusive, accurate, and cost-effective than ever before.
