LOS ALTOS, Calif. - Californer -- With the global events market projected to reach $2.33 trillion in 2026, and 85% of attendees relying on captions or translations to fully participate, real-time language access is fast becoming a core requirement for event organizers. As audiences grow more diverse and expectations around accessibility increase, planners are under pressure to deliver seamless multilingual experiences without adding operational complexity.

Against this backdrop, Wordly, the pioneer in real-time AI translation and captions, has introduced a series of new features aimed at simplifying how events are planned, produced, and experienced.

The company's Q1 2026 updates focus on extending language accessibility beyond the main stage, while reducing reliance on traditional interpretation infrastructure.
