Language barriers pose a significant challenge in international professional face-to-face setups, especially when trying to put ideas forward, reach an agreement or achieve effective communication in spontaneous, non-event-like scenarios. As multilingual conversations unlocks benefits, including increased productivity, improved collaboration, and faster decision-making, the need for seamless real-time translation is more critical than ever.
