How to Support 80+ Languages at an Event Without Pre-Configuring Language Channels

Written by Dayana Abuin Rios | February 24, 2025

 Multilingual events used to force organisers to make language decisions weeks in advance. Which languages will attendees need? How many channels should be configured? What happens if a speaker changes, a delegation joins late, or someone needs a language that was not planned?

Interprefy Now latest enhancements removes that bottleneck. Attendees can choose from 80+ languages on demand, directly from their own device, without organisers having to pre-configure every language option before the event. 

But what is Interprefy Now? And, what exactly has changed? Let’s explore how these improvements are enhancing multilingual communication for businesses and professionals.

What Is Interprefy Now?

Interprefy Now is an AI-powered speech translation and captioning solution that helps people understand and take part in live conversations, even when they do not speak the same language as the presenter or other participants. 

 It works by listening to the spoken audio during a meeting or event and delivering real-time translated speech and captions to attendees through their own device. This means participants can follow presentations, panel discussions, webinars, town halls, and conferences in a language they understand, without needing extra equipment or complicated setup. 

For organisers, Interprefy Now makes multilingual events easier to run. It helps reduce language barriers, improves accessibility, and gives international audiences a smoother way to stay engaged throughout the event. Rather than making translation feel like a separate add-on, it becomes part of the live multilingual experience itself. 

Give Every Attendee Control Over Their Language Experience 

The key update to Interprefy Now is the removal of language restrictions based on pre-configured event settings. Users can now select from over 80 languages on demand, empowering them to choose their preferred language instantly — without needing organisers to pre-define options in advance​.

How This Transforms the Experience:

  • On-the-Fly Language Selection – Attendees no longer need to rely on pre-defined language lists; they can manually pick their language instantly.
  • Greater Accessibility – Expands participation for late joiners or spontaneous speakers who may need a different language at the last minute.
  • No More Pre-Configuration – Organisers can now set up events without needing to anticipate which languages will be spoken.

Smarter Event Setup for Organisers

For event planners and organisers specifically, Interprefy Now has eliminated the complexity of manually setting up language options before an event. This means:

  • Faster event setup – No need to configure language availability, making event preparation quicker and more flexible.
  • Inclusive access – Every language is available by default, ensuring a truly global audience can engage without barriers.
  • Scalability for large audiences – Supports high-volume participation without requiring additional technical intervention​.

Enhanced User Convenience: Faster & More Intuitive Navigation

Interprefy Now's updates aren’t just about flexibility—they also make the platform easier to use.

  • Instant Search Functionality – Quickly locate your language using a smart search bar.
  • Recent History Feature – Your last two selected languages appear at the top for easy access.
  • Effortless Switching – Change languages in real time by simply muting, selecting your new language, and unmuting​.

Why This Matters for Global Events

A recent market research study conducted by Interprefy found that 94% of multilingual event professionals are actively looking to integrate AI-powered translation tools into their events​. The driving factors?

  • Improved audience accessibility (65%)
  • Enhanced engagement (61%)
  • Greater satisfaction among attendees (61%)

The latest enhancements to Interprefy Now align perfectly with these priorities. By enabling attendees to interact in their language of choice without setup limitations, these updates set a new standard for effortless participation in any language.
