How do I set up multilingual support in auto repair shop software?

Chatref Team2 min read / Updated June 18, 2026

Chatref's AI-powered chatbot for auto repair shops includes built-in multilingual support. Turn on the language feature in your agent settings, and it automatically answers visitors in up to 11 languages, using your existing service documents, pricing, and FAQs. No separate translations needed - the AI agent handles it all.

Step 1: Enable multilingual language support in your agent

In the Chatref dashboard, open the AI agent you created for your auto repair shop. Go to the Settings tab and find the Multilingual section. Toggle the feature on and select the languages your shop wants to support (up to 11 total). Once enabled, the agent will detect each visitor's browser language or in-chat language cues and reply in that language automatically.

Step 2: Train the AI agent using your current auto shop content

Multilingual support does not require separate translations. The AI agent uses your existing knowledge base - upload your service menus, pricing sheets, FAQs, and website pages in your shop's primary language. Chatref's ai-agents capability grounds every answer in your own documents, so the agent will produce accurate, localized responses for each supported language. Make sure your content clearly describes services, common problems, and booking steps to get the best results.

Step 3: Test the multilingual setup before going live

Use the Chatref Playground to simulate conversations in different languages. Send a test question like “¿Cuánto cuesta una alineación?” or “Combien coûte un changement d'huile?” and verify the agent answers correctly, in the right language, and with the right service information. Repeat for each language you enabled. This step ensures the multilingual feature works smoothly and that your customers will receive accurate guidance.

Step 4: Embed and monitor your multilingual chatbot

Once you are satisfied, copy the embed code from your agent's Install tab and paste it into your auto repair shop website. The widget will now handle visitor questions in all selected languages. Monitor the Insights and Conversation Inbox to see how many chats come in per language, which questions are most frequent, and where the agent might need a human handoff - all without any per-language configuration overhead.
