Live translation for events, from town halls to festivals
A one-off event rarely justifies interpreters and hardware, so most of them simply go untranslated. AnyLang is priced by the minute with no contract, which makes a single afternoon worth translating.

The event that was never worth translating before
Booking an interpreter for two hours means a day rate, travel and equipment, so a community meeting or a single festival session almost never gets one. Here you buy credits, spend the minutes you use, and keep the rest β they do not expire, so what is left over is waiting for the next event rather than lost.
- Credits never expire
- No subscription and no minimum booking
- Attendees join with a code or a QR poster
- Captions in the spoken language too, for accessibility
Good morning everyone, and thank you for joining today's global session. It's wonderful to see so many of you connecting from around the world.
Events people run with it
Anywhere one person speaks and the room does not all share a language.
Town halls and public meetings
Residents follow a council session in the language they speak at home, which is often the difference between attending and not.
Festivals and cultural programs
Visiting speakers and performers reach an audience that did not come for a language lesson.
Company all-hands
One address, delivered once, understood by every office. Nobody waits for the recap email.
Expos and trade shows
A QR code on the stand lets a visitor follow a demo in their own language without stopping it for everyone else.
Accessible by the same route
Captions can run in the language actually being spoken, so the same setup serves attendees who are hard of hearing.
Something to send afterwards
Keep the recording and the transcript, and send the people who could not attend more than a summary.
From idea to a translated room
- 1
Find out what languages are in the room
Registration is the easiest place to ask. If there is no registration, the languages spoken in the neighbourhood are a good first guess.
- 2
Plug into whatever sound you have
A laptop on the mixer output is enough for a small room. A larger event can push audio from its encoder instead, and then nothing depends on the laptop.
- 3
Hand out one code, not fifty receivers
Put it on the screen, the program and a poster at the door. There is nothing to collect at the end of the night.

Stop when the event stops
Billing follows the minutes you actually broadcast, per language that somebody actually listened to. Credits you did not spend stay on the account.
Common questions
Is there a minimum booking or a contract?
No. You buy credits and spend them a minute at a time. There is no subscription, no minimum event length, and unused credits never expire.
There is music at our event. Is that translated too?
No. Music is recognized and left alone, so a set between two speakers does not come out as invented lyrics in five languages, and those minutes do not carry the cost of a translated one. Translation resumes when somebody starts speaking again.
What do attendees need to bring?
A phone with a browser, and earbuds if they want to listen rather than read captions. No app, no account, no receiver.
Will the venue Wi-Fi cope?
Each listener receives one audio stream, which is far lighter than video. Attendees can also use mobile data, which is what most people do at a busy venue.
Can we reuse the same link for a recurring event?
Yes. An organization can keep one permanent address that always points at whatever it is broadcasting now, so a printed poster or a page on your site stays correct between events.
What happens to a language nobody chooses?
It is never opened, so it is never charged. Translation for a language starts when the first listener asks for it and stops shortly after the last one leaves.
Have an event coming up?
Set it up in a couple of minutes and try it on 30 free credits.
