Inclusivity, accessibility, increased engagement- all valuable reasons to add multilingual access to your next virtual meeting or event. But what does this look like in practice? When Multilingual Matters is a series of blogs that describe real life challenges that can be overcome with live interpretation on platforms like KUDO and its integrations.
The challenge- a multinational ad campaign
You are an executive at an ad agency charged with the development of a campaign that resonates with audiences in France, China, and South Korea. All creative pieces (commercial, ads, digital assets) have begun production in France, with each visual to be adapted for each market. You are looking to get immediate feedback and initial reactions from the stakeholders as to whether you are on the right track. Additionally, it’s imperative that the correct message is conveyed for each demographic. In the past, you’ve found that nuances in language and translation errors led to less than excited clients.
Even if you could put your beginner French, Mandarin, and Korean lessons to use on a group call to discuss the project so far, you can’t be sure that everyone is as confident in their language capabilities. Additionally, all parties involved are committed to the Microsoft suite, so however you provide multilingual access, it needs to be via Microsoft Teams.
The solution: KUDO for Microsoft Teams
