The Church has published another video that shows the behind-the-scenes work at general conference. This video explains the herculean work of the language interpreters.

When a Church leader speaks at general conference, hundreds of interpreters are intensely focused on translating the message in over 100 languages for millions of listeners worldwide. Approximately 800 people work together to interpret and translate general conference. About 600 work at the Conference Center, while another 200 work at locations around the world. See the Church’s General Conference Interpretation Fact Sheet.

Watch the video “Behind the Scenes of General Conference: Interpretation:”

As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gather every six months, thousands of people work tirelessly behind the scenes to make general conference a success. But who are these people, and what is their story? Some are church employees, and others are unpaid volunteers, but each plays a crucial role in carrying the messages of general conference to hearts and homes throughout the world.

With over 100,000 in-person guests over the two days of general conference, countless things need to go right in order to create the deeply spiritual and memorable experience that general conference brings.

Also see the behind the scenes videos “The Staging Crew,” “Interpreters,” and “Guest Services.”
