LOS ALTOS, Calif., April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wordly, the leading SaaS provider of AI-powered simultaneous interpretation services, today announced a notable adoption achievement of its real-time translation platform with one million global meeting, event, and conference attendees using the service.
