  • 2021 Innovations in Interpreting Technology (feat. Ewandro Magalhães, Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli, and Barry Slaughter Olsen)

    In the interpreting market, there are two main artificial intelligence trends to highlight: machine interpreting and computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tools. While Machine Interpreting and Computer-Assisted Interpreting may not be as mature as their cousins, machine translation and computer-assisted translation (CAT), the recent skyrocketing demand for remote interpreting services has fueled interest and investment into this space. 

    Joining us today is the gang from KUDO. KUDO is a multilingual web conferencing platform with human-powered simultaneous interpreting. Stream real-time interpretation to your live conferences. Just recently they received 21 million in oversubscribed Series A funding. We have today Ewandro Magalhães (Former Chief United Nations Interpreter and current Chief Language Officer), Dr. Claudio Fantinuoli (Researcher at Mainz University and Head of Innovation), and Barry Slaughter Olsen (25-year veteran interpreter, Professor of Interpretation at Middlebury Institute of International Studies, and VP of Client Success).

    13. Thought leadership for LSPs with content, video and Linkedin (feat. Visnja Zeljeznjak)
      Let's talk about WHY and HOW LSPs could use Linkedin as their number one thought leadership platform. 
       
      Let's discuss how video marketing + live streaming are the hottest new trend that is not going away, and how it builds authority, trust and credibility - something LSPs need to close those really big localization accounts.
       
      Let's talk about Linkedin as the hottest networking platform where success is measured in the number of conversations, which convert to real sales opportunities.
       
      Let's talk about content marketing in general, and what types of content usually lead to establishing credibility and authority.
       
      Visnja has been live streaming for B2B since November 2020 and she has personally seen success in increased visibility and the ease with which I close new sales deals. We discuss how LSPs should get on the 'video content for thought leadership' train while it's still trivially easy.

    17. Making the Value of Localization Tangible (feat. Rikkert Engels)
      The Process Innovation Challenge (PIC), hosted most recently at LocWorldWide #44, encourages and empowers the localization industry’s innovators. Participants submit a process or technology innovation and are asked to pitch their ideas in front of a live audience to the Process Dragons, who evaluate the different proposals and declare a winner. 
       
      The most recent winner of the PIC was Rikkert Engels, CEO and Founder of Xillio and LocHub. Today he is joining us fresh off of taking home first place at the Process Innovation Challenge, talking about how Localization People Can Help Marketers Improve Global UX. The new innovation tests for multilingual inconsistencies on websites. A lot of websites combine several languages on a single page due to errors in the process. Removing those errors increases conversion and provides for a much better local experience.
       
      I first met Rikkert several years ago, and it has been very interesting to watch Xillio over the years as they have carved out a unique niche helping companies “connect the dots’ in their language automation and integration strategies.
