In an innovative leap for event translation services, Langpros played a pivotal role in a significant conference attended by 3200 participants, showcasing a diverse array of languages including Hungarian, French, Japanese, Vietnamese, Russian, and German. The event’s success hinged on flawless multilingual communication, with a particular focus on catering to a substantial Japanese-speaking audience, the largest group present.
Objectives
- Deliver impeccable interpreting services for six languages, facilitated by top-tier interpreters flown in especially for the event as per client’s request.
- Implement a groundbreaking translation system to ensure wide-ranging, clear audio transmission throughout the entire arena.
- Minimize the financial and logistical burdens traditionally associated with the use of infrared receivers.
Solution
Transitioning from the conventional infrared system, we deployed FM radio transmitters, a strategic move that not only broadened the reach of our audio transmission but also introduced a cost-effective solution for receiver distribution. The receivers, designed as pendants with lanyards doubling as FM antennas, offered excellent reception up to 500 meters, ensuring participants across the arena received seamless translation.

Innovations and Advantages
- FM Radio Transmitters: This technology allowed for broad and clear signal distribution, overcoming the limitations of infrared systems which would require complex and time-consuming installation of IR radiators and extensive cabling for signal transmission and power supply, required for a large sports arena.
- Cost-Effective Receivers: The pendant receivers, while economical, did not compromise on quality, providing an ingenious solution to the common issue of lost receivers.
- Extended Range: The unique lanyard antenna design ensured all attendees, regardless of their location in the venue, had access to high-quality translation.
Challenges and Strategies
The primary challenge was ensuring the new technology seamlessly integrated into the event’s infrastructure without disrupting the attendee experience. Rigorous testing and careful planning were crucial in implementing this system successfully.
Results
The use of FM radio transmitters revolutionized the event’s translation capabilities, offering:
- Unprecedented Audio Clarity and Range: Attendees enjoyed clear translations regardless of their location within the arena.
- Significant Cost Savings: The client benefited from the economical nature of the pendant receivers, mitigating potential losses from unreturned devices.
This case study highlights Langpros’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional interpreting services. By adopting FM radio transmitter technology, we not only enhanced the auditory experience for a diverse international audience but also provided a cost-efficient, innovative solution that set a new standard for large-scale event translations.
