I would love to have a feature where Intercom would recognise the language of the customer and have a button where you can let the inbox translate the message for you. Also automatically translate your own messages to the language of the customer without needing to click the translate AI button every time. This is currently also not available in Dutch btw.

Both Front and Zendesk offer this.

Hi ​@User2149 

Jennifer here from Intercom

Have you considered integrating with Unbabel for this until Fin Translate supports more languages? I will pass this feedback on to our Product Team too 🤞

We have Spanish, French, German and Greek users and each time they need help we need to use Google translate and paste in the translation so others in the business can understand what is going on with the conversation!

It’s very very time consuming - so please plan to implement this feature quickly!

It’s already implemented. You just need to have your agents on “Full Co-pilot” seats and the translations will be automatic!

Just make sure Multilingual is enabled under Settings > Workspace > Multilingual 

Toggle on ‘Enable AI Inbox Translation”
