How to Enable Multilingual Support for a Zuddl Webinar
The Interprefy integration lets you translate spoken content into your desired language. This makes your webinar more accessible to audiences across the globe.
Please note that the support for multilingual audio is available only on a per-stage basis.
Interprefy is currently available for only the Enterprise plan. There are some additional costs based on your specific requirements, such as the number of languages to interpret and languages to interpret into, webinar duration, and more.
Set up the integration
Fill up the order form to set up Interprefy. Once this is done, Interprefy will ask for certain webinar details based on which they will evaluate their offering.

Once you’ve provided these details, Interprefy provides you with a token for enabling multilingual support on Zuddl.
Based on your requirements, it may take a minimum of 2 weeks time to confirm the integration.
Enabling multilingual support
On the webinar setup, go to Engagement. Under Multilingual Support, enter the token you received from Interprefy in the Enter token field.
This enables multilingual audio support for the particular stage.
Once multilingual support has been turned on, attendees can select a language of their choice in a stage and start listening to the simultaneously translated version of the spoken content in real-time.
Since the audio translation is done by a real human interpreter, not a bot, you can expect a lag of approximately 5 seconds.
Using interpretation inside the webinar
To enable interpretation on a live stage:
- Click the translation icon to open the interpreter widget.
- Select the desired language from the available options.
Click Connect.
This enables the interpretation of the incoming audio into the selected language.
The attendee must mute their primary audio output to avoid listening to it with the interpreted audio.
