Hi everyone! One of the makers here – we're really excited to get Live Translate out the door. There's clearly a lot of action going on in the live chat space – we're thrilled to see so much innovation. Live Translate has been born out of requests from many of our customers who want to deliver a great level of service to their customers around the world, without having to hire staff to speak every language of every region they serve. As we've been saying for a long time – every visitor to your website is a potential lead, so don't make language a barrier for them to get in touch. Live Translate uses the Google Translate API to ensure tip-top accuracy in translating messages between your team and your visitors, leads, and customers. We really hope you like it!

Hey @brennantopley, @floopily, @jamesjgill & @thedeveloper, What was the most difficult part about building this app?
James Gill
@jacqvon Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for stopping by! Good question – mostly it’s been ensuring that the people on both ends of the translated conversation are aware of what’s going on without distracting them.

Really cool application of machine translations. Awesome work team! 🍾
James Gill
@jakeapeters Thank you so much Jake, really appreciate you stopping by with such support!
Leo Bassam
Amazing! Can’t wait to try it out 🙌🏻
Matthew Boogaard
Cool! Just wondering if you notify the user that replies are translated rather than the agent being an actual native speaker? That way there'd be no issues with false friends etc when translations go wrong.

Another great feature guys, loving your tool already!
James Gill
@waq_azeem Thank you so much Waqar – that's hugely appreciated! Pleasure to have you on board!

Awesome! My gut says integrating w established platforms would be huge.

Any plans to integrate the translation features into existing chat platforms such as Intercom? Switching to a new chat client can be daunting for established business and there is likely to be pushback of a switch vs an integration into an existing platform.

@gordo309 Hi Jordan, thanks for the message! While we're big fans of a lot of the other chat tools out there, we're very much focused on building our own and rolling out more features like this to our own platform. We totally appreciate that switching to GoSquared might be daunting so we wouldn't want to pressure you to do that – we'll welcome you with open arms if you want to try us out in the future :-)

@jmedwards Haha thanks so much Jamie! Probably took longer than building the whole feature itself :P
