How multilingual support works

Auto-detects the language

The agent reads the first message and matches the language. If a visitor opens in Afrikaans, the agent replies in Afrikaans for the rest of the conversation.

Covers SA's major languages

English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, Setswana, Sepedi, Xitsonga, siSwati, isiNdebele, Tshivenda. Plus French, Portuguese, German for tourist-facing businesses.

Included on every plan

No separate language plan. No per-language fee. Multilingual support is part of Starter, Professional and Business at no extra cost.

Why this matters for SA businesses

01
Tourism and hospitality
A guesthouse in the Karoo gets enquiries from Afrikaans-speaking locals and German-speaking tourists in the same week. Both get answered in their own language without any extra setup.
02
Medical practices in townships and suburbs
A clinic serving a multilingual community can let isiZulu and isiXhosa speakers book appointments in their first language. Better access, fewer no-shows from language confusion.
03
Retail and e-commerce
A store in KZN can serve isiZulu-speaking customers asking about stock and pricing. A store in the Cape gets Afrikaans enquiries. Same agent, no extra work.
04
Government-facing services
Compliance officers, tax practitioners and legal services often need to serve clients in multiple languages by law. The agent handles routine intake in the client's language and escalates the rest.
05
Restaurant reservations
An Afrikaans patron books a table in Afrikaans. An English-speaking tourist books in English. The same widget handles both seamlessly.
