As global organisations prepare for 2026, the need to communicate seamlessly across languages has never been more urgent. The rapid evolution of AI language translation, the rising maturity of real-time translation services, and the increasing expectations of multilingual audiences are reshaping how businesses, institutions, and event teams plan for the year ahead. Yet amidst a myriad of AI-only tools entering the market, one truth is increasingly clear: enterprises still need accuracy, accountability, and stability — especially when multilingual communication directly impacts brand reputation, stakeholder trust, and mission-critical outcomes.

As we stand on the cusp of 2026, it's a perfect moment to reflect on the remarkable journey that has brought Interprefy to over 10 years of innovation in language technology and multilingual accessibility. Founded with a vision to revolutionise multilingual communication, Interprefy has consistently pushed boundaries, embracing innovation to bridge language gaps across the globe. Over the past decade, we have grown from a humble startup into a trusted partner and provider for enterprises, government bodies, NGOs, international institutions, and organisations across a wide range of sectors, helping them navigate the complexities of multilingual events seamlessly.

The answer lies in a quiet revolution reshaping how companies document communication: AI-enhanced transcription.

On 20 October 2025, a major infrastructure incident at AWS disrupted many online services around the world. In this blog we will look at what exactly happened, why the event is important for organisations reliant on cloud infrastructure, and how Interprefy — our multilingual event and interpretation platform — was not materially affected thanks to the resilience built into our architecture.
We will also take the opportunity to highlight what event-organisers and technology buyers should look for when selecting a platform for mission-critical multilingual events.

When planning a multilingual event, you often hear about “tools” — software platforms, audio routing, interpretation channels. But what truly makes or breaks the experience isn’t just the tool, it’s the support behind it. That’s why having a professional and expert team supporting you is indispensable for delivering seamless, inclusive events.

One question we often hear is, what is professional remote support in multilingual events? Simply put, it’s the human-led service that works quietly in the background to monitor, adapt, and resolve any issue that could affect your interpreters, tech stack, or audience. It’s the layer of confidence that ensures your event runs seamlessly — no matter how many languages are spoken.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic dream. It’s the technology behind the captions you see on streaming platforms, the chatbots that answer your questions instantly, and the voice assistants that help you set reminders or translate a phrase when you’re abroad. In recent years, AI has begun to play a central role in how people connect, work, learn, and share information.

As multilingual participation becomes a standard, organisations across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East are increasingly planning meetings and events for diverse, global audiences. Whether coordinating regional webinars, internal town halls, or large-scale conferences, teams are being asked to engage participants across languages and borders. Yet even as formats evolve, one element is often overlooked: language access. When it's missing, the result isn't just a gap in understanding — it can directly affect participation, engagement, and business outcomes.

At Interprefy, we work alongside leading event organisers across the Middle East and APAC, and we see this pattern emerge time and again. Ambitious formats. Brilliant speakers. Expansive reach. But no or little multilingual support. According to our latest research, one in three event organisers in these regions still don’t provide any form of real-time speech translation or interpretation.

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.

Simultaneous interpretation (SI) is the process of conveying a speaker’s message from one language to another in real time. Unlike consecutive interpreting, where the speaker must pause to allow for interpretation, simultaneous interpretation ensures a seamless and continuous flow of speech. This makes it the preferred choice for conferences, live events, and multilingual meetings where communication must remain unbroken.
