Comm100 chatbot supports Auto Translation based on Google Translation integration. Auto Translation enables your bot to chat with visitors using any language.

When Auto Translation is enabled, the chatbot detects the visitor’s language and translates the message automatically. The chatbot then sends responses in the language that the visitor used in the latest message. Visitors can see both the original and translated messages in the chat window.  

When Auto Translation is enabled, the chatbot translates all the incoming and outcoming messages with the following exceptions:

• The chatbot does not translate link URLs or linked web pages.
• When the chatbot sends a form, the inviting message including the form title will be translated into the visitor’s language, but all other texts in the opened form window, including the field name, field options, and button text, will not be translated.
  As shown in the following figures, form invitation content is translated, and all the content in the new form window uses the same language when you configured the form.
  Note: 

  • The bot’s language is configured when you created it and cannot be edited thereafter. You can view the bot’s language on the Manage Chatbots page.
  • The content in the opened form window is the same as your configuration when you configure the Send a form action for the chatbot. The form language can be different from the chatbot's language.

You can also configure a list for words or phrases that do not need translation so that they will be kept in both incoming and outcoming messages.
