Networking powerhouse Cisco, has announced the availability (in preview beginning this month) of its real-time translation feature in Webex while also dramatically expanding the language library from 10 to more than 100 languages, ranging from Armenian to Zulu. The vendor said eliminating language barriers is a key step to enabling a truly global, hybrid workforce.
As part of the all new Webex, organisations can provide employees with inclusive and seamless collaboration experiences, which is essential tosupporting the needs of a workforce that is more globally dispersed than ever before.
Users can create their own personalised Webex meeting experience by quickly and easily self-selecting the language of their choice from the most commonly used languages, such as Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish, as well as more localised languages such as Danish, Hindi, Malay, Turkish and Vietnamese.
According to Cisco, the personalised language experience provides a path through one of the major hurdles in global business – the language barrier.
“The inclusive features of Webex help create a level playing field for users regardless of factors like language or geography. Enabling global Real Time Translations is another step toward powering an Inclusive Future and an important component of driving better communication and collaboration across teams.” said Jeetu Patel, SVP and GM Security and Applications, Cisco. “AI technologies play an integral role in delivering the seamless collaboration, smart hybrid work and intelligent customer experiences that Cisco is known to deliver.”
Now users can engage more fully in meetings no matter the language of origin, enabling teams to communicate more effectively with each other and opening new opportunities for businesses to build a more inclusive, global workforce.
