What happens when not everyone speaks the same language in your Microsoft Teams meeting? That’s where interpretation and live translation solutions like remote simultaneous interpretation, AI-powered speech translation, live AI captions and subtitles come in.

Microsoft Teams has come a long way in supporting multilingual meetings. But for many meeting organisers, those built-in features still don’t go far enough. And when clarity, speed, and accessibility matter most, that’s where Interprefy steps in. We offer the same powerful language support for Teams as we do across other major platforms.

There’s a lot of talk about AI in interpretation right now. Some of it is exciting. Some of it creates confusion.

Finance and insurance companies handle vast amounts of sensitive information — from confidential client information to regulatory compliance records and high-value transactions. A single breach can trigger severe consequences, including regulatory fines, loss of trust, and financial damage. In an era of cross-border operations and hybrid teams, the risk of data interception, cyberattacks, and compliance violations has never been higher, especially when multilingual communication is involved. Without a secure, trusted multilingual meeting platform, even confidential meetings can become vulnerable.

Planning an event that runs smoothly is already a big job. Throw in multiple languages, hybrid attendance, and tight timelines, and it gets a lot trickier.
