Abstract: System and method for conferencing communication devices associated with participants conversant in different languages has a system for connecting communication devices with one or more other communication devices where each communication device is associated with one of a plurality of different languages, and one of the different languages is designated as the main language. The system in response to receiving a request for a conference call, connects two or more of the communication devices in a conference call when two or more of said communication devices are associated with the main language, connects each of the communication devices associated with a different language than the main language with the communication device of an interpreter selected for interpreting between the different language and the main language, and then connects the communication device of the interpreter for each of the different languages than the main language to the conference call.

Abstract: A system having a computer system with one or more interfaces enabling communication with one or more communication devices, and memory storing a first database associating geographic regions with the most commonly spoken language(s) of those regions, and a second database associating interpreters with different languages, and a third database providing demographics of members who previously enrolled with the service and including information such as telephone numbers and languages spoken. In response to a requesting communication device, the computer system determines the language(s) spoken by the member associated with that requesting device as identified in the third database, determines a geographic region associated with the requesting communication device and a language of that region as identified by the first database, and selects a matching interpreter from the second database who can assist in both the regional language and one of the languages spoken by the member.
