Problem Statement
Many global organisations run meetings, town halls, training sessions and learning events with multilingual audiences.
Today, hosts must create polls in a single language or manually duplicate polls for different languages. Participants who are not comfortable with the host language may struggle to understand questions and answer options.
This creates a barrier to participation and limits inclusion during global meetings.
Desired Behaviour
Allow hosts to create polls, surveys, quizzes and Q&A content in one language while participants can select their preferred language.
The platform would automatically display:
- Poll questions
- Quiz questions
- Answer options
- Survey questions
- Instructions
in the participant's preferred language.
Example
Host creates the poll in English:
Which AI capability would you like to learn more about?
Participant A selects English:
Which AI capability would you like to learn more about?
Participant B selects Japanese:
AIのどの機能についてさらに学びたいですか？
Participant C selects Chinese:
您希望进一步了解哪项AI能力？
All responses are aggregated into a single poll result.

Use Case from Boehringer Ingelheim
A global training session includes participants from:
- Japan
- China
- Germany
- Brazil
- Singapore
The host prepares a single poll in English.
Participants automatically view and respond to the poll in their preferred language, while the host manages only one poll and receives consolidated analytics.
