This capability inherits the Support Agent's pricing model. The role's launch fee + monthly retainer + role-level usage cover every capability under the role. Adding this capability to an active deployment does not change the price.
What this capability handles
Multilingual Coverage lets the Support Agent serve every language your customers write in without fragmenting the team or hiring native speakers for each market. For a business selling across the EU or globally, language is usually the reason a support model stops scaling: you either staff for every language or make customers wait. This capability removes that constraint for repetitive volume, while keeping a human in the loop wherever language or policy gets sensitive. It runs across the help desk, knowledge base, and CRM. On each message it moves through five stages: language-detect (identify the language and dialect), intent-match (understand what is being asked), answer (respond from approved localized knowledge), verify (check the translation and answer hold up), and escalate. Its inputs are the user's language, the message text, your localized knowledge, and the customer's status. The decision logic balances three things before it answers: language confidence, whether the topic is covered by approved localized knowledge, and how sensitive the case is. When translation confidence is low, the dialect is uncertain, or the topic is policy-sensitive, it routes to a person with a language note attached rather than risk a wrong answer in a language the customer trusts. Every interaction is logged, so localized-knowledge gaps surface the same way English ones do. Typical fit: teams serving multiple languages with at least baseline multilingual knowledge coverage, defined translation-quality standards, and a clear owner for each language. This capability typically lifts multilingual ticket handling by 20-40%, with the biggest effect in EU and global businesses where language coverage is otherwise the bottleneck. Maintenance centers on keeping the localized knowledge as current as the primary-language version.

Marketplace at scale, multilingual
Marketplaces · 200-500
20,000 / mo
A 300-person marketplace serving multiple EU languages handles 20,000 monthly tickets across 5-7 queues, with escalation obligations to operators on both sides of the marketplace. Language distribution creates staffing inefficiency: either the team over-hires to cover less-common languages or response quality suffers outside peak hours.
Support Agent runs full multilingual coverage, triage, and escalation routing. Routing respects the dual-sided operator obligations. Human team focus shifts to operator relationships and complex adjudication while sub-minute response is maintained across 30+ languages.
Expected outcomes at this volume: 30-50% deflection across languages, 24/7 response coverage without night-shift staffing, consistent quality across languages tracked per language so drift never goes silent. Senior team focus returns to complex adjudication.
