Multilingual meetings and events have become a standard part of global business. Expectations for accessibility and inclusion continue to rise, and so do the challenges for event organisers and planners, project managers, event coordinators and anyone involved in the preparation of a global event; especially when it comes to managing multilingual services across formats, time zones, and budget constraints. Therefore, whether you're hosting internal training sessions, live webinars, or multi-language conferences, finding a cost-effective way to manage interpretation across multiple events can be a real hurdle.

That’s where Interprefy Plans come in. Instead of locking organisations into a rigid, standardised approach, they offer a flexible way to plan and budget for options that match your needs, not just your next event.

Your company is planning a hybrid event, an all-hands meeting, or a public webcast — but have you considered how accessible your communication really is?

 The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is now in force. Since 28 June 2025, organisations offering covered products and services in the EU have had to meet new accessibility requirements — turning accessibility from a best-practice goal into a legal obligation. For teams delivering live audio, video, and spoken content, that means ensuring every channel is designed to be accessible from the start. 

You’re preparing a regional update or an international team meeting in Google Meet, but not everyone speaks the same language. Sound familiar?

Google Meet introduced AI speech translation in May 2025 during its beta rollout at Google I/O 2025, complementing its existing AI-powered captions. This addition represents both a significant step forward and a direct response to the growing demand for real-time translation in everyday video calls.

But this new feature is still in the initial phase and only covers a pair of languages (English <> Spanish). Therefore, if you’re planning a high-stakes meeting, a multilingual town hall, or a global product launch, this built-in tool alone might not cut it. That’s where professional interpretation services and external language solutions like Interprefy come in — giving you the flexibility, support, and quality you need to connect across languages.

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 advanced language solutions that expand Teams’ native capabilities and extend effortlessly across other platforms, giving you seamless multilingual support wherever you meet.

When Earth Day first took place in 1970, millions gathered in the U.S. to speak out against pollution and environmental damage. It was a turning point — a moment that proved that ordinary people, united by purpose, could influence real policy change.

Imagine you are dealing with a with a client in Tokyo, you share a product update with them, speak confidently, use clear slides and polished language. The client nods, asks no questions, and thanks you for your time. But the next day, a support ticket appears. The client didn’t understand the new terms. Now they are hesitant to move forward.

That moment is no longer just a customer service issue. It is a compliance risk.

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

Speech technology has come a long way. We’re seeing real-time captions, multilingual voiceovers, and live translation become more common. But somewhere along the way, people started to assume that AI can handle everything — even interpretation.

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.

We get it. You want everyone at your event — whether they’re in the room or joining online — to feel included and able to follow along. But traditional interpretation setups aren’t designed for today’s formats. Many times they’re costly, complicated, and don’t always fit with your tools or timeline.
