Cork company Russian ahead

A Cork language company which specialises in interpreting has expanded its reach to Moscow in Russia.

Translit, now with bases in Cork, Limerick and London, recently launched its new interpretation technology Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI).

According to company CEO Alex Chernenko, RSI, which was launched in January, is the future of interpreting at live events.

Mr Chernenko said a Russian presence is the next step to making Translit an interpreting leader in Europe before tackling North America later in the year.

“Russia is one of very few countries where life continues. There are no lockdowns at the moment, conferences and offline events operate fully. With our remote interpreting technology we will be honoured to provide live interpreting to some of the biggest industry events there, that gather thousands of attendees and top speakers,” he said.

The company is set to host a virtual interpreting conference later this month focusing on the future of the interpreting industry.
