Case Study: a prominent Massachusetts university achieves seamless multilingual executive education with Language Connections

a prominent Massachusetts university met 100% of translation deadlines with Language Connections

Language Connections provided translation and simultaneous interpreting services for a prominent Massachusetts university's executive education program. The challenge was to support a multilingual classroom with students speaking Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. This required translating a large volume of course and marketing materials under tight deadlines while ensuring consistency across all languages and coordinating five teams of high-level interpreters to facilitate classroom discussions.

Language Connections formed a scalable solution using multiple translators per language and a customized workflow managed by their project managers. They utilized relay interpreting to enable real-time discussion between all participants. The result was that 100% of translation deadlines were met, all interpreters were seamlessly coordinated, and full student participation was achieved, providing an equal educational experience for all attendees. Language Connections continues to maintain an ongoing relationship with the university.
