What do they need?

Techbridge Solutions needed simultaneous interpretation from English to Spanish for their all-hands meetings to ensure Spanish-speaking employees could fully understand and connect with key updates. The goal was clear: to foster inclusivity and boost engagement by making every participant feel valued and involved, regardless of their native language. This approach was essential for creating a unified, collaborative company culture.

The stakes were high, as these meetings went beyond sharing information—they were pivotal for shaping company values and driving employee connection. To succeed, Techbridge Solutions required an interpretation solution that delivered precise real-time accuracy, integrated seamlessly with their virtual platforms, and aligned culturally with their diverse workforce. Achieving this balance was critical to ensuring inclusivity and strengthening team cohesion.

The challenges

Our Tomedes teams experienced a couple of challenges when providing online interpretation support for these meetings. Here are some of the challenges they encountered:

First, simultaneous interpretation demands exceptional precision. Language professionals must deliver every word and nuance without delay or miscommunication. One misstep could lead to confusion or misalignment among employees.

Second, hosting virtual all-hands meetings on platforms like Zoom added another layer of complexity. The interpretation feature had to integrate seamlessly without disrupting the flow of the meeting.

Third, interpreting isn’t just about translating words—it’s about conveying the tone, intent, and cultural nuances of the message. Techbridge Solutions needed interpreters who understood their corporate tone and values to connect with their Spanish-speaking audience authentically.

This proactive collaboration ensured a smooth, glitch-free live event and highlighted Tomedes’ dedication to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions, making them the perfect partner for multilingual communication.

The solution

To address Techbridge Solutions’ challenges, Tomedes implemented a multi-step approach:

First, the team worked closely with Techbridge Solutions to analyze the meeting agenda and identify key topics. Using AI-driven tools like the Key Term Glossary, Tomedes built a contextual glossary to ensure interpreters were familiar with industry-specific terminology.

The key terms for the all-hands meeting were prepared using the Key Term Glossary, which identifies and defines essential terminology. It extracted terms like "Blockchain," "Cryptocurrency," and "DeFi" from the meeting agenda, translating them into Spanish with clear definitions to ensure consistency.

This glossary provided interpreters with accurate translations of industry-specific terms, helping them convey complex ideas clearly. As a result, the real-time interpretation was precise, and all employees, regardless of language, could fully understand and engage with the meeting content.

Second, Tomedes' interpreters were trained on Zoom’s interpretation features. They collaborated with Techbridge Solutions’ IT team to test the system, ensuring that Spanish-speaking employees could easily access the interpretation channel without technical issues.

Third, Tomedes assigned interpreters who not only excel in real-time interpretation but also understand the nuances of Spanish-speaking cultures. This ensured that the tone, humor, and corporate language were translated accurately and naturally.

The result

Techbridge Solutions’ partnership with Tomedes ensured their international employees were fully informed and prepared for the start of the year. The live interpretation services allowed employees to actively participate in the all-hands meeting, breaking down language barriers and fostering inclusivity. As a result, the company experienced a 30% increase in multilingual collaboration, strengthening communication across its global teams.

The seamless execution of live interpretation highlighted Tomedes' expertise in multilingual communication. Employees could easily access their preferred language channels, ensuring critical information was delivered clearly and accurately. Impressed by the results, Techbridge Solutions is eager to continue working with Tomedes for future internal and external events, solidifying their partnership for long-term success.
