Businesses have been transcending the borders of time, place, and languages for more than a decade now. Nowadays, customers don’t need to wait for something to reach to them because they have ordered it from a business set up in another country. Most likely, that business would have a branch in their country as well and the product they need can reach them within hours. With the growth and innovation in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it has become easier to expand businesses to other countries, improving the reach of services and products to customers worldwide. These developments have also impacted the Indonesian interpretation services to a great extent.
