Case Study: WWF enables seamless multilingual collaboration with Language Connections interpreting services

World Wildlife Fund enables 3-hour multilingual workshop with Language Connections

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) required multilingual interpreting services for a complex virtual workshop concluding its Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Phase 2 initiative. The challenge was to enable real-time collaboration across teams from seven Amazon basin countries, which involved highly technical discussions on biodiversity and AI-powered monitoring tools in Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch. Language Connections was tasked with providing simultaneous interpretation to overcome these language barriers and technical depth.

Language Connections assembled a team of six specialized interpreters and implemented a relay interpreting structure to manage the multiple languages. Despite a shifting agenda and last-minute materials, their preparation ensured the three-hour session ran smoothly. The result was clear, uninterrupted communication between all international participants, allowing for effective collaboration. WWF provided positive feedback, specifically noting the value of having Language Connections coordinate the entire interpreter team to achieve the workshop's goals.
