These professional interpreters did an amazing job and we couldn’t be more grateful for their proficiency and expertise. With support from our language service provider, we lined up 54 German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Japanese interpreters to serve Zoom’s largest international markets. We knew we’d have to tailor our event to serve international attendees by providing a follow-the-sun agenda, regional keynotes, and live language interpretation for our most popular sessions. When our annual user conference, Zoomtopia, went 100% virtual in 2020, we welcomed an audience many times larger than any we’d hosted in the past. Behind the scenes: Making Zoomtopia a multilingual event Interpreters get a unique link to join the Zoom Meeting or Zoom Webinars in their separate audio channel.Īttendees can select the corresponding audio channel to hear the interpreter speaking in their language of choice. When enabled, live language interpretation allows hosts to assign interpreters to a separate audio channel for the language they are interpreting. Take a look at this powerful feature for presenting event content in multiple languages, and see how we put it to use for our global Zoomtopia 2020 user conference.
