I was thinking simultaneous interpretation as in ICANN meetings. Although, translation of meeting materials is certainly a great first step. Of course, people need to get their foils into the WG chair more than 3 days in advance.
What I have seen (please let me know your experience), is that people can read a different language better than they can understand spoken speech. In particular when people speak quickly and / or have accents particular to their region of the world. Of course, this will be a problem for the software also. But some software can be trained to the speaker.

One thing I noticed (and that the mentees told me) is that some of our fellow attendees have difficulties with the English language presentations. As remote hubs and remote attendance (as well as attendance from all over the world) grows, I believe this will be more and more of a challenge. I have started exploring some solutions which seem fairly cost-effective to me. For example: http://translateyourworld.com/pricing2016 If anyone has ideas or would like to work with me, please let me know. We may come up with the thought that this is too costly or that the technology is immature, but IMHO, it is worth a try.
