Language Interpretation

Wordly Language Interpretation Options

Wordly offers two way real-time simultaneous interpretation for dozens of languages. That equates to thousands of language interpretation pairs! We don't limit you to translating from English, we cover the most common business languages used in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the rest of the world.

Check to see if we cover the language interpretation pairs you are looking for. We are regularly adding new languages so if you don’t see a language, contact us and we will let you know about upcoming language additions.

The presenter selects the language they will speak in - and the participants select the language they would like to listen or read in. The translation is managed in real-time by the Wordly Platform.

The Wordly Platform and translation app are designed to make meetings, webinars, conferences, and training sessions more productive and inclusive by enabling participants to listen or read along in real-time in the language they prefer. Wordly is available via the cloud for live, hybrid and on-site meetings.

What is Language Interpretation?

Language interpretation is the process of managing the oral or voice communication from one source language into one or more output languages. The interpretation could be done simultaneously (in real-time) or consecutively (having the presenter pause at intervals to allow for interpretation over the same audio channel) - and could be either an exact translation or an approximate translation of the original content. The terms “interpretation” and “translation” are sometimes used interchangeably even though they actually have different meanings. Interpretation typically refers to spoken language while translation refers to written text.

Benefits of Language Interpretation

Most organizations are global with a wide range of multilingual constituents, including employees, customers, partners, vendors, members, and citizens. This creates a big communication challenge since the language spoken at meetings and events is often not the preferred language for the audience - leading to lower productivity, higher costs, lack of inclusion, and reduced participation. Offering language interpretation at meetings and events enables both speakers and participants to participate in their preferred languages which increases engagement, learning, and participation. Language inclusivity is another benefit of offering simultaneous interpretation at meetings and events.

Wordly Language Interpretation Quality

When you are evaluating interpretation quality, there are 6 important considerations.

1. Comprehensive In-House Testing
   Wordly invests significant resources to ensure you will receive high quality translation output for every language we offer. Before we release a new language, we run simulated tests using audio conversations in the source language and verify both the audio and text outputs exceed an accuracy threshold.

2. Comprehensive Customer Testing
   ‍Many of our customers have conducted extensive tests versus human interpreters, Google Translate, and features built into video platforms. The feedback consistently comes back that not only is the quality of Wordly higher, but the user experience is significantly better.

3. Consistent Output
   ‍One of the advantages of machine based AI translation is the consistency of the output. While many human interpreters deliver high quality translations, the output can often have variable quality levels based on the individual interpreter.

4. Custom Glossaries
   ‍AI translation offers the ability to create a custom glossary with thousands of terms unique to your company or industry to further enhance the quality of the output and user experience. Most human interpreters are unable to keep track of large custom glossary lists.

5. Robust Technology Infrastructure
   ‍Wordly is built on state of the art SaaS technologies and has delivered over hundreds of millions of minutes of translation since we launched in 2019. We continuously monitor translation output and session feedback in order to improve our processes.

6. Customer Service
   ‍A Wordly Customer Success Manager, a real person versus an automated bot, is assigned to every new customer to ensure you have a great onboarding experience - helping you address any setup questions and being available for real-time help during your event.
