Turning AI translation on and off

Plan requirement

Subscription Suite Team or higher, Support Team or higher
Access Admin

Switching conversation translation on for your account, and deciding which channels and agents get it.

Turn it on

  1. Open Admin Center, then Objects and rules, then Tickets > Settings.
  2. Expand Comment options for agents.
  3. Select Allow agents to translate conversations, then choose which channels it covers.
  4. Save.

Agents then see a translation option on tickets in a language other than theirs.

Start with one team

Translation changes how a conversation feels to write, and agents need a little time to work out how much to trust it. Giving it to one group first produces useful feedback; giving it to everyone at once produces opinions.

Agree what it is used for

Worth being explicit with the team, because the technology will happily translate anything.

  • Fine: a practical question in a language nobody on shift reads.
  • Careful: complaints, where tone carries a lot.
  • Not on its own: anything contractual, and anything you would want a record of in exact words.

Watch the usage

Translation is part of your AI allowance, so it consumes something. If it turns out a quarter of your tickets are being translated, that is a staffing signal as much as a cost one: you have a market you are serving by machine.
