Can Chatref provide multilingual support for global law firms?
Yes, Chatref provides multilingual support that helps global law firms serve clients in up to 11 languages. The AI agent learns from your own legal documents and automatically answers visitors in their preferred language, grounded in your firm’s exact knowledge and terminology. No per‑language fees, no complicated setup.
How multilingual support works for global law firms
Chatref’s multilingual capability is built into every AI agent. When a visitor starts a conversation, the agent detects the language and responds in that same language, using the content you uploaded. It does not guess or translate from English; it retrieves answers directly from your documents in the target language, ensuring legal accuracy and proper jurisdiction-specific phrasing. The same agent handles English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, and more, all from a single knowledge base.
Setting up your multilingual knowledge base
Upload your firm’s documents in each language you want to support. Common materials include engagement letters, practice area summaries, FAQ pages, and compliance guides. The knowledge base can ingest PDFs, website sitemaps, and plain text. Chatref’s retrieval engine then indexes all content so that the AI agent can ground every answer in the correct language version. There is no need to create separate bots; one agent works across all the languages you provide.
Deploying multilingual AI across channels
Use the website widget for instant multilingual chat right on your global site. With the omnichannel feature, the same agent can also answer questions via email, WhatsApp, or Slack, giving clients a consistent experience no matter how they reach you. Custom branding keeps everything on‑brand, and you can capture lead details in any language during the conversation. Chatref’s pay‑as‑you‑go pricing means you only pay for actual responses, and every new account starts with $50 in free credit to test multilingual support risk‑free.
Scaling client support without adding headcount
Large international firms often face a surge in routine inquiries across time zones. The AI agents resolve repeat questions automatically, in the visitor’s language, so your team handles only the matters that truly need a human lawyer. The shared inbox gives your staff full context if they need to step in, with the entire conversation history available in the original language. This keeps response times fast, no matter the region or hour, while maintaining the high-touch service your clients expect.
