Ortsbo.com, the real-time social media language translation platform, just announced that it will host “Ortsbo.com Presents: KISS Live & Global”, next Friday, May 20, 2011 at 7:30 am PDT with international rock legends and KISS co-founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Billed as the world’s first real-time, interactive global fan chat in 53 languages, the event will give fans the opportunity to submit questions and interact with Simmons and Stanley in their native language. The conversation will be instantly translated by the Ortsbo service. This event will serve as a prototype for future global commercial events with Live Nation, their artists and Ortsbo.com.

Built on the Windows Azure platform, Ortsbo.com eliminates the need to cut/copy and paste text into a translator by automatically translating typed text into the specified language instantly. Users simply indicate the desired language for their intended recipient and Ortsbo does the rest. Ortsbo even lets users conduct multiple chat sessions simultaneously across multiple social networks in multiple languages, all in real time.

Ortsbo.com enables real-time conversational translation in over 50 languages to well over 1 billion active chat accounts in more than 170 countries and/or territories and seamlessly integrates with most popular social media platforms.
