(First paragraphs from the article via Google Translate ...)

With the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan recovering rapidly, there is a growing movement among railway companies to introduce a new simultaneous translation system in order to facilitate smooth exchanges at counters.

Seibu Railway will introduce a new system of simultaneous translation on a trial basis from the 10th of this month at the window of Seibu Shinjuku Station.

The system supports 12 languages including English and Chinese.
