Your audience is international. One line in the invite is enough.

You are asked for translation you cannot afford to buy.

Event interpretation is priced for conference budgets, so most hosts answer “sorry, English only” — and lose the part of the audience that would have come. There is a third answer: attendees can translate the session themselves with a browser extension, and the only thing they need from you is to know it exists. Nothing is installed on your side, nothing joins your event, and you do not have to support it.

Copy this into the invite or the chat

Two sentences, no branding required, in the language of your audience:

The same two sentences work on a slide before the start, in the reminder email, in the event description and pinned in the chat when the session begins.

What it costs you: nothing, including effort

• No integration, no admin setting, no contract, no per-event fee.
• Nothing appears in your participant list. Attendees run the extension in their own browser, so from where you stand the event looks exactly as it did.
• No data reaches you and none of your attendees’ audio is stored: captions are generated live and the transcript stays in each attendee’s own browser.
• Attendees start free — 25 minutes of live translation a month, no card and no account. Nobody is asked to pay in order to attend your event.

Be straight with them about the limits

• It is machine translation of live speech, not an interpreter. For legal, medical or contractual sessions, hire a human.
• It needs the session in a browser tab in Chrome or Edge — the desktop Zoom and Teams apps are out of reach for an extension.
• It is per attendee: everyone who wants it runs it themselves. There is no shared translated track for the whole room.
• For a physical room, this does not apply at all — it captures a tab, not a microphone.
