Language translation

I was working recently with a distributed team made up of native English, Spanish and Portuguese speakers. Our conversations were technical and detailed and proved so difficult that eventually we decided to bring a translator into the meetings.

Well the good news is that this doesn’t have to be the case as suppliers are starting to provide the option of language translations in videoconferences, instant messages and chat board applications. The translations are never going to be perfect but should convey the gist of what is being said. If this is important to you, you may want to trial tools that offer this.

Translation will definitely become a more universal feature in time and will improve dramatically as Artificial Intelligence advances further into the world of language translation.

Security

A lot of potentially confidential and/or commercially sensitive information is going to be communicated via the public internet, so if it is important to you then make sure your messages are encrypted in transit and that your voice and videoconferencing conform to the current security protocols. You may also want to consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), there’s more on this in Chapter 4 – Security.

Many videoconferencing and instant messaging packages offer password protected meetings and message groups. Most videoconferencing applications will show who is attending a meeting and some offer the meeting host the facility to mute, block or drop attendees from a meeting.

Hosted or on-premise

All vendors offer a hosted service but you may be interested in running videoconferencing and instant messaging on your own servers for performance or security reasons in which case ask vendors if they support an on-premise deployment.
