Case Study: Providing Hybrid Interpreting Solutions For Aerovironment
Language Connections (LC) recently provided simultaneous interpreting services for a series of meetings hosted by AeroVironment and their partner Softbank. These meetings included both virtual and on-site environments and required simultaneous Japanese-English interpreting. Leveraging decades of experience in the translation and interpreting industry, LC was able to contribute real time, bi-directional hybrid interpreting solutions to facilitate communication between Japanese and English participants attending on-site and remotely. Our work with AeroVironment underscores the critical role that multilingual communication plays in global business expansion and operational efficiency.
AeroVironment is a leading manufacturer of unmanned aircraft systems (UAVs), drones, and advanced technologies for defense and commercial applications and has served for 50 years as part of the national defense industry. Its products, such as the Puma and Switchblade drones, are used internationally by organizations such as NATO and also emergency response teams. Since 2021, AeroVironment has partnered with Language Connections for Japanese interpreting services for key meetings.
Supporting Integration For Hybrid Interpreting Solutions
Ensuring that interpretation is accessible to both on-site participants and virtual Zoom participants can be challenging. Proper integration between the two setups was critical to limiting inefficiencies during the meetings.
Equipment Setup For Hybrid Interpreting Solutions
Implementing a hybrid setup requires a comprehensive list of interpreting equipment to guarantee a seamless experience for all participants. The setup also needed to meet the portability demands of an unexpected facility tour.
Securing Subject Matter Proficient Interpreters
Finding specialized and experienced interpreters familiar with the technical vocabulary of the aerospace and defense sectors can be difficult, especially when dealing with a hybrid setup.
Offering A Portable Equipment Setup for Hybrid Interpreting
We used our sophisticated interpretation equipment to create an ideal simultaneous interpreting setup necessary for hybrid interpretation. Our diligent project management team provided equipment such as wireless microphones, portable transmitters, headsets, receivers, as well as interpretation consoles and transmitters. Even when an unforeseen facility tour emerged, our proactive approach to supplying equipment led to disruption-free meetings between AeroVironment and their foreign partner.
Interpreter Selection
Drawing from our vast network of professional interpreters, our project management team were able to quickly source and assemble a team with the necessary experience in hybrid setups and AeroVironment’s terminology. This allowed us to meet the client’s specialized needs for the event and uphold our high accuracy standards.
Thanks to our experienced interpreters as well as our flexible project management team, Language Connections was able to ensure that AeroVironment’s meeting proceeded efficiently despite the challenges. Prior experience in a hybrid interpreting environment, as well as the procurement of equipment facilitated effective multilingual communication, has allowed us to serve as a trusted interpreting and translation services partner for AeroVironment and other international firms for many years.
