Client Success Story

Global Sports Body Makes Press Conferences Understandable in Russian and English with KUDO

Use Case
Live Interpretation for press and conferences

Audience
Press, media, and conference participants

Languages
English Russian

Summary

An international ice hockey governing body holds press interviews and conferences where Russian- and English-speaking participants need to understand each other in real time. Without translation, sessions were prone to language barriers and communication breakdowns whenever a counterpart spoke no English. The federation now uses KUDO for live, simultaneous Russian-English interpretation, one to three times a year, ensuring every participant follows the conversation as it happens.

The Challenge

Press interviews and conferences involving Russian- and English-speaking participants had no real-time translation in place. When a counterpart spoke no English, the language barrier led directly to communication breakdowns during the session.

The federation needed:

  • Real-time understanding for both Russian- and English-speaking participants
  • A way to prevent communication breakdowns during press interviews and conferences
  • A solution better suited to live interpretation than its existing Zoom setup

Services Provided

AI speech translation and captions in 2 languages

Smartphone-accessible translation

Prior to KUDO, our challenge was the language barrier — our counterpart spoke no English, there was no real-time translation available, and that led to communication breakdowns. With KUDO, we get live translation for both parties simultaneously at our Congress meetings, in Russian and English. We use it one to three times a year.

The Solution

KUDO provides live interpretation for both parties simultaneously during the federation’s Russian-English press interviews and conferences, replacing the language barrier that previously caused communication breakdowns. The federation continues to use Zoom alongside KUDO and is exploring additional AI solutions to further enhance its communication capabilities.
