Wordly launches Workspaces for everyday AI translation

Wed, 11th Feb 2026

Wordly has launched a Workspaces feature as part of a broader expansion of its AI-based live translation and captioning platform, aiming to support both day-to-day corporate use and large events.

The update extends Wordly's focus from conferences and managed sessions to everyday business operations, including internal meetings and routine collaboration. Wordly also announced ISO 27001 certification and a brand refresh built around the tagline "Never miss a word."

Workspaces provides a more structured way for organisations to roll out live translation and captions across teams and contexts. Wordly positioned it as a shift from one-off deployments to a centralised approach that can support recurring formats such as town halls and training sessions, as well as external-facing events.

"Together, these milestones reflect Wordly evolving from a specialized event tool into an essential enterprise solution," said Lakshman Rathnam, founder and CEO of Wordly.

Rathnam said the platform's broader use reflects both workforce expectations and regulation. "The platform is designed to support global, multilingual organizations across large-scale conferences and everyday business operations. In today's globalized workforce, providing live translation and captions is expected from employees and customers alike, and increasingly a legal requirement under regulations such as California SB 707, European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Quebec Bill 96," he said.

Operational rollout

Workspaces is positioned as a way for corporate users to deploy Wordly across departments through a single configuration, rather than setting up each event separately. Wordly said this can support internal activities including town halls, sales kick-offs, employee onboarding, and HR training.

The product is also aimed at external communications where multilingual support may be needed at short notice, including customer webinars, board meetings, investor communications, and industry conferences.

Beyond formal meetings, Wordly is pitching Workspaces for daily workflows that span multiple locations and languages. It listed factory tours, engineering stand-ups, cross-functional collaboration, and employee interviews as use cases.

Rathnam framed the move as an inclusion and accessibility issue that extends beyond flagship events. "Inclusion and accessibility shouldn't stop when the conference ends," he said. "Workspaces gives enterprise teams the visibility and control they need to bring language access to everyday operations."

Security posture

Alongside the product expansion, Wordly said it has achieved ISO 27001 certification, a standard for information security management systems that is often requested in enterprise procurement. Wordly also said it holds SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.

For vendors selling into regulated sectors and multinational organisations, these certifications are often treated as baseline signals of controls around data handling, access management, and operational processes. They do not replace customer due diligence, but can affect how quickly a supplier progresses through security reviews.

Wordly's announcement reflects a broader trend in AI-driven communication tools, where adoption increasingly depends on governance and risk requirements as much as product features. For translation and captioning in particular, buyers often assess how audio, transcripts, and meeting metadata are handled, where they are stored, and who can access them.

Brand changes

Wordly is rolling out an updated visual identity and a redesigned website. It said the refresh aligns with its push into routine corporate use and larger-scale deployments.

"Our brand refresh is more than a visual update; it is an expression of our mission to bridge the global communication gap," said Dave Deasy, Wordly's CMO.

"The new Wordly identity represents the underlying framework of the modern enterprise, a bridge that spans language barriers and accessibility hurdles. As we expand from supporting high-impact annual events to powering daily corporate communications, our new look reflects a platform that is as professional, secure, and scalable as the organizations we support. Whether you are managing a 10,000-seat global summit or a 10-person standup, the path to inclusion is easy and affordable," Deasy said.

Wordly said Workspaces is available now and expects the expanded platform to be used for both large-format conferences and routine meetings inside multinational organisations.
