Made for most stages. Deliberately not for some.

MILA stands for “Multilingual Intelligent Live Assistant”, our own AI interpreting app that interprets your event live. It is operated and managed on site by our team.

We take the audio feed from the venue's sound system, and an AI running on our on-site computers translates it into the booked languages and speaks the translation. Each language reaches your guests on its own channel. The voice matches the speaker: when a woman speaks, your guests hear a female voice; when a man speaks, a male voice – MILA switches automatically as soon as someone else takes the floor. That's rather rare with traditional simultaneous interpretation. Our system technician monitors everything throughout the entire event.

MILA doesn't translate word for word; it draws on the preceding sentences, the glossary and the event briefing. What an AI lacks is situational awareness: it can't see what's happening on stage and can't ask questions. That's why we recommend MILA for clearly structured formats.

Then a sentence may be translated incorrectly, just as with humans, except the AI won't notice it itself. Good preparation, clean audio and our supervision during the event reduce this risk significantly. It can't be ruled out entirely, which is why we don't recommend MILA for legally binding situations.

For many conferences, congresses and corporate events, our AI live translation is an alternative to the interpreting booth, especially with several languages and long programme days. For negotiations or legally or medically sensitive content, we still recommend human interpreters. We'll give you honest advice on what suits your event.

No. The translation is produced on our equipment right in the room. We output each language on its own channel, via Dante or analogue over XLR, and feed it into your existing interpreting or conference system or the room's PA. Once booked, we brief your on-site AV provider.

Yes. Every booking includes at least one system technician who handles setup, integration, operation and teardown.

Yes. Each room gets its own equipment and its own system technician. In the price calculator you can plan up to 10 rooms, each with its own languages and times.

Not for the translation: it runs completely offline on our equipment on site, so a weak or unstable network makes no difference. Only for live subtitles on mobile do your guests' smartphones need a connection, usually via the venue's Wi-Fi. Whether a connection makes sense for preparation or remote support is something we agree with you in advance.

The system technician monitors latency, levels and equipment live and can step in before problems reach the audience. How failures are handled is defined for each project in the technical concept.

MILA currently interprets from German into seven languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish and Portuguese. We are currently evaluating further languages such as Czech, Ukrainian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Swedish. Live subtitles are already available in all 15 languages. We confirm which language pairs suit your event before every quote.

Yes. All booked languages run in parallel, each on its own channel. How many languages are possible in one room at the same time is determined after a technical check.

Because MILA translates right in the room, there's no detour via the internet that online services have to take. The delay depends on the language pair, speaking pace and system load; our technician sees it live. We only give binding figures after a test for your language combination; we currently don't guarantee fixed latency values.

Coming soon: with MILA SIGN, an AI avatar translates live into German Sign Language (DGS). MILA SIGN cannot be booked yet – subscribe to our newsletter to find out as soon as it launches.

MILA's base fee starts at €1,990 net per event – including equipment, setup and a system technician on site. Additional languages, hours, days and rooms are added on top. Calculate the price for your event online in just a few minutes with our price calculator and request a non-binding quote right away. There you can also see roughly what the same event would cost with conventional conference interpreters.

Live subtitles can be added for a flat fee of €290 net per event. Your guests read any language on their own phone via QR code – no app, no sign-up – and for your livestream there is an overlay for OBS, vMix or your video control room.

With the Context Boost, we turn MILA into an expert on your event: using your materials – agenda, speaker list, presentations, glossaries – we prepare names and technical terms in advance. Flat fee of €490 net per event. You upload your materials via a secure link after the order confirmation.

Within 50 km of 33165 Lichtenau, we don't charge travel costs. Beyond that, we charge €0.65 per kilometre, there and back. From 300 km one way, we add one arrival day and one departure day per system technician at €325 each. Accommodation is billed at cost.

Yes. The price calculator lets you plan up to ten event days with individual operating hours. For longer events, we prepare a custom quote.

Ideally as soon as your date is fixed – that way it is safely reserved and there is enough time for preparation. We need materials for the Context Boost in good time before the event. We are happy to check short-notice requests.

Recording is not part of the standard service. Whether audio or text should be stored is agreed and documented exclusively in consultation with you.

Local processing is privacy-friendly because speech content is not transferred to external AI providers for translation. Whether an event as a whole is run in compliance with data protection law also depends on your overall concept. We coordinate the necessary information and contractual arrangements with you.
