Chatbots and machine learning are changing the face of business.

A chatbot is an AI-powered program that you can “chat with.” Many businesses have already considered the use of these “virtual assistants” for customer service or tech support purposes, because they make it easy to answer user queries in real-time through a messaging platform using the power of machine learning.

Chatbots typically integrate with messaging apps such as WeChat, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc., and they seem destined to become the preferred channel for conversational commerce, whether it’s for ordering sushi, booking flights, or buying tickets for a concert – anything goes.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology needed to build chatbots is becoming more and more accessible, and these programs can help you understand the root causes underlying your clients’ purchases and their satisfaction (or lack thereof) by learning from the data gleaned from their conversations.

A real digital revolution is happening in the world of communication, and multilingual chatbots are part of it.

There are three types of chatbots: those based on rules, those based on ML (machine learning) technology, and those based on both. The former are more limited and cannot evolve, while chatbots based on ML are smarter and can improve, since they learn from their conversations with users.

We make your chatbots multilingual

"Language is one of the most important components of customer communications, especially when it comes to customer care." - CRM magazine

As of June 2016, only 26% of the Internet population used English as their browsing or messaging language. However, the bots present on the market today are primarily built and designed exclusively in English. Upgrading your bot to work in multiple languages and for multiple audiences gives your business a great opportunity to expand to non-English speaking markets, but it requires the same cultural awareness needed to design and translate your website to give it a local feel. Translated has been offering translation services for over 20 years through a network of 673,774 vetted professional native translators from all over the world. We can provide quality services from professional translations to sentence generation in over 203 languages.

We can test and fine-tune your chatbots

One challenge when testing multilingual bots is that each language is meant for users from different cultures. Aspects such as text direction, measurements, and currency must therefore be considered, and your chatbot’s sentences must be specifically adapted to the local cultural context, guaranteeing that the translation is accurate and understandable in the target country: a genuine localization process.

We can test your localized bot, taking care of test environment setup, test case design, test execution, and fine-tuning translations.
