If you’d like a personalized walk-through of how Lokalise Messages works,you can book a free demo here.
No company in the world is excluded from getting support requests in foreign languages every now and then. For most companies though, the share of each language is often not big enough to justify hiring support specialists fluent in these languages.
Still, who doesn't want to start dealing with their foreign-language leads and users right away by adding an app to their Zendesk Chat, without having to spend thousands of dollars?
Here comes the solution from Lokalise, a B2B SaaS platform for localization automation.
The good news is that you do not need to have an account with Lokalise. Install the app, and that's it!
How it works
-
Lokalise automatically detects the conversation language and instantly translates incoming messages to your base language using neural network.
-
You can change the conversation language using the settings in the sidebar app. It is also possible to add other languages spoken by your team as non-translatable.
-
Agents enter text in their native language in the sidebar, and the sent message is automatically translated.
-
Your customers get replies in real time.
