There is no company in the world that does not get support requests in foreign languages now and then. For most companies though, a share of each language is often not big enough to justify hiring support specialists fluent in these languages.

Here comes Lokalise Messages, a real-time support translation directly within Intercom Inbox.
Install the app from Intercom App Store, and this is it!
