Email Across Languages with Real-Time Translations

Let service reps translate Service Email conversations, expanding customer support across languages. A rep can translate an end user’s email into the rep’s language, as well as translate their response into the end user’s language before sending. Previously, a Service Email rep had to speak the same language as an end user in order to assist.
