By means of a livestream, conferences, presentations or other events can be made accessible for an unlimited number of participants all over the world by transmitting the livestream in real time to various online channels. The principle is comparable to a television broadcast which can either be watched live or streamed later. With the browser-based RSI platform (RSI = Remote Simultaneous Interpreting), it is now possible to provide real-time simultaneous interpretation of any type of livestream into any number of languages. This means that every listener can follow the livestream in his or her own language.
With Qonda, this service is provided by human interpreters, all of them experienced and certified language professionals. There is no limit to the number of languages. Thanks to relay interpreting, any language combination can be offered. From wherever they are located, the interpreters dial in directly to the virtual Qonda delivery platform to render their simultaneous interpretation of the livestream. Handling the multi-lingual livestream player is extremely convenient for the customers. “Now, all our customers have to do is integrate one single livestream player in their homepage, Intranet, or event platform. The viewers then simply select the language of their choice by clicking on the ‘Language selection’ button. The times when you needed to transmit one stream per language and integrate it back in are over,” says Mike Bertsch, Managing Director of Qonda, explaining the major advantage of the new tool.
Multi-lingual livestream in three steps
Qonda customers are only three steps away from optimum performance. First, they send their original RTMP livestream (Real Time Messaging Protocol) to Qonda. In a second step, Qonda has professional interpreters translate the original into every language of the customer’s choice. In a third step, the finished livestream player with the language selection is sent back to the customer, who can integrate it on any platform. The system is highly flexible so that up to 1 million of viewers worldwide can watch the livestream via the 220 CDN servers.
The benefits of remote interpretation of a livestream
The advantage of remote interpretation of a livestream is not only that every viewer can comfortably follow in their own language, but also for example the high flexibility in the event structure. It ensures that you can integrate and combine any number of speakers, cameras, presentations and videos. Another key benefit: Usually, participants and viewers can simply join the event without installing any extra software or app. If the livestream is also broadcast simultaneously on various platforms such as the Intranet, homepage or event platform, an even greater international audience can be reached.
