### Included on every plan

## What it handles

**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.

**Medical practices in townships and suburbs**
A clinic serving a multilingual community can let isiZulu and isiXhosa speakers book appointments in their first language.

**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.

**Restaurant reservations**
An Afrikaans patron books a table in Afrikaans. An English-speaking tourist books in English. The same widget handles both seamlessly.
