According to the interim final rule published on 20 April 2026, organisations serving populations of 50,000 or more now have until 26 April 2027, while smaller public entities and special districts have until 26 April 2028. ** ###### Topics: Industry News & Trends Accessibility ###### 6 min read ## Accessibility Compliance Checklist for Public and Enterprise Organisations By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on February 27, 2026 If accessibility compliance is still sitting on next year’s agenda, it’s time to move it forward. The [ADA Title II](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/ada-title-ii-and-the-new-web-and-mobile-rule-what-public-entities-need-to-know) deadline is April 2026. In California, [SB 707](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/californias-sb-707-changes-how-public-meetings-must-work.-heres-what-leaders-need-to-know) has tightened expectations around public meetings. In the EU, the [European Accessibility Act](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/is-your-event-eaa-ready-how-to-deliver-accessible-communication-before-june-28) came into force in 2025. In Quebec, [Bill 96](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/bill-96-compliance-how-interprefy-helps-your-company-meet-québecs-language-law) reinforces French language requirements across communications. Add to that the Accessible Canada Act, the Equality Act in the UK, and increasing digital accessibility enforcement across Europe, and one thing is clear. ** ###### Topics: Accessibility ###### 9 min read ## California's SB 707 Changes: How Public Meetings Must Work By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on February 20, 2026 On 3rd October 2025, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 707 into law. It quietly amended several sections of the Government Code. No fanfare. No viral headlines. But for any organisation involved in delivering, advising on, or participating in California's public meetings, this legislation matters more than most people currently realise. ** ###### Topics: Accessibility ###### 8 min read ## Clear Multilingual Investor Communications Under Basel III By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on October 30, 2025 [Basel III](https://www.bis.org/bcbs/basel3.htm) has reshaped the operating landscape for globally active banks. Although its primary purpose is to strengthen balance sheet resilience through capital requirements, liquidity buffers, and enhanced risk oversight, the framework has also had a significant secondary effect: it has elevated the role of investor and regulatory communication to a strategic level. Financial resilience must not only be achieved internally, but conveyed externally in a manner that is precise, consistent, and globally accessible. This expectation places Investor Relations, Corporate Communications, Regulatory Affairs, and Executive Office functions at the centre of how stakeholder confidence is built and maintained. ###### Topics: Finance and Insurance Accessibility ###### 12 min read ## The Ultimate Guide to Accessibility Mandates for Multilingual Events By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on October 30, 2025 Across the Middle East and Asia–Pacific, event organisers are experiencing a surge in demand for multilingual support. [Interprefy’s latest market research](https://www.interprefy.com/interprefy-2025-market-reserach-report) reveals that **86 percent of event organisers in the Middle East** and **71 percent in APAC** already face high demand for multilingual delivery, driven by diverse audiences and cross‑border participation. This demand is matched by enthusiasm for emerging technologies: **100 percent of Middle Eastern organisers** and **81 percent in APAC** say they are likely or very likely to adopt remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI), AI‑generated live text captioning or AI‑powered speech translation. These statistics underline a shift from multilingual capability being a value‑added service to it becoming an essential requirement, particularly as governments across both regions tighten accessibility mandates and global investors call for equitable access to information. ###### Topics: Accessibility ###### 3 min read ## The Year Multilingual Accessibility Went Mainstream By [Nicholas Barker](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/nicholas-barker) on June 30, 2025 There was a time — not that long ago — when offering interpretation at events felt like a gesture of generosity. Something above and beyond. Now? In 2025, it's fast becoming the baseline. Part of that shift has to do with legislation. But it’s also about what audiences expect. They’re joining from dozens of countries, tuning in on different devices, and increasingly, they’re asking: *Can I actually follow this in my own language?* ###### Topics: Event Management Live Captions Accessibility ###### 14 min read ## Is Your Company EAA-Ready? How to Make Multilingual Events Compliant By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on June 23, 2025 Your company is planning a hybrid event, an all-hands meeting, or a public webcast — but have you considered how accessible your communication really is? With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) coming into effect on 28 June 2025, many organisations are facing a new reality: accessibility is no longer optional — it’s now a legal obligation. And that includes how you deliver live audio, video, and spoken content across all channels. From live captions to translated subtitles, ensuring your event or meeting complies with the EAA might sound complex — but it doesn’t have to be. Language technology companies such as [Interprefy](https://www.interprefy.com/) are already helping companies like yours meet these new standards with ease by offering full support and solutions that span from remote simultaneous interpretation (including sign language interpretation) to AI speech translation and live captions in real-time in over 6,000 language combinations. ###### Topics: Inclusivity Live Captions Accessibility ###### 8 min read ## Live Captions: How Interprefy AI Powers Accessibility By [Dayana Abuin Rios](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/author/dayana-abuin-rios) on February 12, 2025 In today’s world, where most events are global and multilingual, ensuring that everyone can follow along is a must.

Kim Ludvigsen, the visionary founder of [Interprefy](https://www.interprefy.com/), was attending a conference when he noticed the outdated booths and equipment used for interpretation—technology that hadn’t seen much change since the 1960s. Inspired by the widespread use of smartphones and the internet, he posed a pivotal question that would spark a revolution: why couldn’t interpreters work remotely and attendees use their own devices to access event interpretations? This question marked the beginning of [Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI)](https://www.interprefy.com/solutions/remote-simultaneous-interpretation). ###### Topics: Remote Simultaneous Interpretation Accessibility [All posts](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog/all) [Download from the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/interprefy/id971176635) [Download from Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.interprefy.interprefy&hl=en&gl=US) [More download links](https://www.interprefy.com/download-interprefy-app) - - - - Our Solutions - [Remote Interpreting](https://www.interprefy.com/solutions/remote-simultaneous-interpretation) - [AI Speech Translation](https://www.interprefy.com/solutions/ai-translation) - [Live Captions & Subtitles](https://www.interprefy.com/solutions/multilingual-live-captions-and-subtitles) - [Integrations](https://www.interprefy.com/solutions/integrations) - [Book an Interpreter](https://www.interprefy.com/about-us/interpreter-sourcing) About Us - [Why Us?](https://www.interprefy.com/about-us/why-interprefy) - [About Us](https://www.interprefy.com/about-us-old) - [How We Work](https://www.interprefy.com/about-us/how-we-work) - [Customer Stories](https://www.interprefy.com/customer-stories) - [Our Partners](https://www.interprefy.com/javascript:void(0);) - [Careers](https://www.interprefy.com/about-us/careers-old) Resources - [Blog](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/blog) - [News](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/press/companynews) - [eBooks & Webinars](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/webinars-and-ebooks) - [Knowledge Base](https://knowledge.interprefy.com) - [Join your meeting](https://interprefy.interpret.world/user/sign-in) - [Join mailing list](https://www.interprefy.com/join-our-mailing-list) - [Contact Us](https://www.interprefy.com/contact-us) @2026 Interprefy.
