Improved support, improved sales

Real-time language translation rolled into your live chat solution comes with a host of benefits.

Improve the customer journey

By removing language barriers, you enable fluid communication. In turn, you present minimal disruption to your prospect, and minimal hiccups to their journey.

Give universal service

Customer service quality assurance can be problematic when the agent and consumer are crossing wires. Real-time live chat translation helps you create consistency.

Enjoy resource savings

Hiring multilingual agents is expensive. So is running offshore call centres. By comparison, WhosOn provides a single, cost-effective real-time translation solution.

Enhance internal comms

Translation also extends into your internal chat sessions. This helps improve company communication and collaboration, while supporting diversity infrastructure.

Faster business

Language barriers eat up time and hamper productivity. That’s not to mention the employee irritation they birth. So, removing them helps your service wheels run smoother.

Bottom line boost

Providing multilingual customer support is just good sales sense. If you can speak to more prospects, you can sell to more prospects.

Bigger global footprint

Real-time chat translation allows you to grow – and better serve – a global audience. Plus, you can extend into lucrative foreign markets such as China and the Middle East.

Enhanced brand reputation

Multilingual customer support shows a commitment to the customer and their post-sale aftercare. In turn, it helps you build a reputation as a trusted brand that cares.

A competitive edge

Offering support in 100+ languages is a key differentiator. It presents a huge opportunity for early adopters to lead the way at home and contend in the global marketplace.

Our translation features

Let’s get to the nitty-gritty. WhosOn’s chat translation features include:

Real-time, two-way translation

Chat translations runs both ways. Your customers can chat to you live in their own language, while your call centre agents chat back in theirs.

Highest possible accuracy

WhosOn offers rich API integrations with both Microsoft and Google translation services. So, you can choose the translation technology that best suits your ecosystem.

Current support for 103 languages

Spanning Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, WhosOn smoothly supports all the major languages of each continent.

Configurable sessions

At the start of a chat, the visitor can opt to use translation to their preferred language – enabling agents to quickly configure each session to suit individual needs.

Automatic language detection

For proactive rather than reactive translation, WhosOn can also use the GEOIP from the visitor browser setting to detect and select language automatically.

Personalised buttons & surveys

WhosOn can also dynamically change your chat button, pre-chat survey and post-chat survey language to suit the visitor’s needs.

Customisable dialect

For full customisation, we can provide a dictionary file for the application's window text, which you can translate in-house to meet your own language requirements.

Language of choice

Alternatively, we can translate the client on your behalf – delivering WhosOn in your language(s) of choice out of the box and fuss-free.

CRM integration

To keep your records clean and coordinated, WhosOn generates chat transcripts with both original and translated text. Then, it pushes each transcript to CRM.
