How can I provide multilingual support for my home building business?

Start by feeding the AI agent your business knowledge. In your Chatref account, upload PDFs, plain text, or point to your site’s sitemap. Include brochures, spec sheets, process timelines, and contact details for each community. The agent learns only from your materials, so every reply stays accurate to your home building business.

Language support is built in from the start. Chatref automatically detects the language a website visitor uses and responds in that same language, using the information in your uploaded documents. You do not need to translate files or maintain separate knowledge bases. If a prospective buyer asks about floor plan options in Spanish, the agent answers in Spanish, pulling from the same content you provided in English.

Chatref’s website widget sits on your home builder site and provides real-time, multilingual assistance. You add a single JavaScript snippet, and the widget appears on every page. It’s origin-allowlisted so it only runs on your domain.

When a visitor types a question, the widget sends it to your AI agent. The agent identifies the language and answers directly in that tongue, drawing only from your uploaded content. That means a buyer in French-speaking Canada or a German investor receives the same trustworthy information as an English speaker - without you hiring multilingual support agents.

• Upload comprehensive content. The broader your documentation, the better the agent can answer in any language. Include details about neighborhoods, construction timelines, financing options, and warranty coverage.
• Test languages in the playground. Use Chatref’s built-in playground to simulate customer questions in different languages before going live. Verify the answers read naturally.
• Review all chats in the shared inbox. Every conversation, regardless of language, appears in your inbox. You can step in with a human reply when needed, with the full thread preserved.

How does Chatref support multiple languages for customer service?

Chatref uses a multi-model routing system that includes models trained natively on non-English languages. When a customer asks a question, the AI agent detects the language and formulates a response in that language, grounded entirely in your business documents. One knowledge base serves all supported languages - no separate translations needed.

Can Chatref translate customer chats in real-time?

Chatref does not perform translation; it natively understands and replies in the visitor’s language. The agent generates answers directly in the detected language, so conversations remain fluid and natural. If you, as a business owner, want to review a conversation in a language you do not speak, you can use your browser’s translate feature on the inbox page, but the agent itself never introduces a translation layer.
