Allow service reps and customers to communicate in different languages. When an end user
messages your business, Real-Time Translations converts the message into the service rep’s
preferred language. The rep can type their response in their own preferred language, and have it
translated to the end user’s language before sending. Supervisors can also use Real-Time
Translations when monitoring active conversations.

Optionally, in the Custom Terminology section, upload a .csv, .tsx, or .tmx file with
language-specific translations of any custom terms for up to 10 languages. For example, if
your company name should always be Ursa Major Solar regardless of the conversation language,
include it in the file. See Format Your Custom Terminology File below for more details.
To test the feature, select a language to translate from and another to translate to. Then
enter a message into the Text field.
To be transparent, let customers know that reps might use a machine translation tool when
chatting with them. You can do this by customizing the Start Conversation auto-response (all
channels) or your chat window header or Terms and Conditions (Enhanced Chat
only).
Format Your Custom Terminology File
Configure how your brand's terminology appears in your supported languages. Then upload
it as a .csv, .tsx, or .tmx file. Custom terminology is multi-directional, meaning that both
service reps and end users see the terms that you provide. Review best practices and limitations
for uploading a custom terminology file.
