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.

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.

The good news is, there’s a better way. More and more organisers are turning to flexible solutions that support multilingual communication without piling on extra stress or equipment. And they’re seeing results: simpler setups, smoother experiences, and events that work better for everyone.

This guide walks through how to make that shift — so you can plan events that reach more people, work across languages, and still feel easy to run.

Every January, as Q1 begins, businesses around the world set ambitious goals and dive into a bustling event season with renewed energy. The start of the year is often packed with activities, from product launches to press conferences, as organisations strive to set the tone for the year ahead. Yet, a key challenge persists: how do you create a truly global experience, especially when your attendees speak different languages?

At Interprefy, we’ve been helping businesses and organisations worldwide overcome this obstacle. Here’s how you can use AI-powered live translation and captions to make your events more inclusive and accessible.

Are communication barriers hindering the success of your business? If so, you’re not alone. Many international finance corporations are in the same boat. These organisations face the challenge of crucial information being lost in translation, mainly due to the different linguistic backgrounds of their team members.

As Interprefy celebrates its 10th anniversary, we reflect on a decade of helping the language industry and empowering global communication. With rapid advancements in remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) and real-time translation powered by AI, businesses now have unprecedented access to seamless, multilingual interactions that constantly adapt to an increasingly globalised world.

Did you know that 94% of multilingual event planning professionals are considering using AI speech translation and captions in their future events? Clear communication across languages has never been more critical. As the world becomes more connected,innovative technologies are paving the way for more inclusive experiences. One of these innovations is AI-powered speech translation, which is quickly changing how multilingual events are planned.

Communication barriers pose a significant challenge in international professional face-to-face setups, especially when trying to put ideas forward, reach an agreement or achieve effective communication in spontaneous, non-event-like scenarios. As multilingual conversations unlocks benefits, including increased productivity, improved collaboration, and faster decision-making, the need for seamless real-time translation is more critical than ever.

In business, effective communication is the cornerstone of success. This is true whether you’re in a high-stakes meeting, pitching to investors or meeting with your team. However, communication is challenging in multilingual settings where language barriers can lead to misunderstandings. 

Companies have traditionally defaulted to English when participants don't speak the same language. In-person interpreters and remote simultaneous interpreters are primarily used at high-stakes meetings or big conferences because, while effective, these solutions take time to organise and can be expensive. Fortunately, we’ve entered a new era where AI-driven technology has made language translation more accessible and affordable for businesses of all sizes. 

Interprefy AI is a scalable AI speech translation solution that offers real-time translations for businesses and organisations in multiple languages. Designed to deliver seamless, cost-effective, and fast-to-deploy live translation, it enhances the inclusivity and reach of events and meetings, making them accessible to a diverse, international audience.
