Word choice has the power to make or break customer relationships. But when you’re supporting global customers who speak multiple languages, it can be logistically tricky to find the right words. After all, your team might not speak your customers' language.
Now there’s a way to offer multilingual customer service online, without being bilingual.
Acquire Live Chat makes it easy to communicate in the same language as your customers and online visitors.
It’s automatic, it's easy to use, and it works in real time.
How Acquire Live Chat auto-translation works
With Acquire, you can automatically detect and translate your customer’s language and converse in the language they understand — right from your Acquire Dashboard.
Acquire translates any language supported by Google Translate. That’s a long list!
A better customer experience
Translating different languages within the Acquire Live Chat widget is seamless — so seamless that your customers won’t even know they’re chatting with a non-native speaker.
Let’s say your team’s native language is English, and they receive a chat from a customer in Spanish.
Here’s how Acquire works to keep you both speaking the same language:
1. Your team member receives a message from your customer in Spanish.
2. Your team member accepts their chat, clicks the auto-translate icon, and a language field will appear on the top of the chat conversation. The language field will automatically populate the language your customer is using.
3. Once your team members clicks “Translate,” the language will be translated into English.
4. Your team responds in their native language.
5. Your employee’s responses are automatically translated into your customer’s language.
Why offer multilingual customer support?
You might be wondering: what’s in it for me to offer multilingual customer support on my website?
A lot, actually.
When you offer customer service in the language of your customer’s choice, you improve their customer experience.
According to an ICMI/Lionbridge study, 79% of contact centers have customers who aren’t native speakers of the primary language(s) that they serve, and 60% of those customers expect service in their native language. The study also noted that quality scores increase when customers receive support in their language.
