SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Timekettle announces its new AI live translation platform, PolyPal, which enables real-time multilingual communication across meetings, classrooms, events, phone calls, and online platforms. By combining AI-powered translation with bilingual communication tools, PolyPal helps organizations and individuals communicate more efficiently across languages.

PolyPal Real-Time Translation

Global collaboration is accelerating. Cross-border meetings, international classrooms, hybrid conferences, and global livestreams now connect people who may share expertise—but not a language. Human interpretation remains essential in high-stakes settings, but it can be costly and difficult to scale. Earlier translation tools often introduced delays, awkward phrasing, and disruptive app switching.

Developed by Timekettle, PolyPal is a real-time translator designed for meetings, education, events, and everyday communication. It supports 100+ languages and accents, delivers up to 98% accuracy, and offers millisecond-level latency—approaching simultaneous-interpretation speed.

Its multi-model AI engine combines ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and proprietary models optimized for terminology used in finance, law, medicine, academia, and business. As an AI language translator, PolyPal also supports personalized glossaries, helping professional teams translate specialized language more consistently.

Floating bilingual subtitles work directly over Zoom, Teams, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and other platforms, allowing users to follow real-time translation without switching apps. PolyPal also provides two-way international phone-call translation, AI-generated summaries, and mind maps that can turn an hour-long discussion into structured takeaways within seconds. Localized processing, encryption, and local file storage help protect sensitive conversations.

The applications extend across industries. International sales teams can clarify proposals and negotiate with overseas partners. Universities can stream lectures with bilingual captions, helping international students follow technical material and classroom discussions. PolyPal’s Large Event mode supports projected subtitles in up to five languages for audiences of up to 2,000. Trainers, content creators, customer-support teams, and cross-border businesses can also communicate with multilingual audiences more efficiently.

PolyPal’s credibility is further reinforced by professional partnerships and industry recognition. It served as the exclusive simultaneous interpretation partner for the 2025 BAAI Conference in Beijing, providing multilingual support for academic presentations and international discussions. PolyPal also received a NextWorld 2025 Annual Award in the Smart Innovation category and appeared with other winners on the Nasdaq screen in New York’s Times Square.

AI live translation is becoming essential infrastructure for global collaboration—not merely a convenience. By combining fast translation, bilingual subtitles, professional terminology support, and AI productivity tools, PolyPal helps turn language barriers into opportunities for connection.
