Risks You May Encounter Without Language Services
When a non-English speaking client or customer needs assistance or information but cannot can’t communicate their needs to your representatives or understand the materials, it can cause several issues:
- Customer frustration: Language barriers hinder clear and effective communication, often leaving employees unable to resolve the customer’s problem.
- Poor customer service: When employees can’t speak the same language as the customer, providing fantastic customer service is nearly impossible.
- Embarrassing mistranslations: Your written materials should be translated and localized to avoid providing clients with written materials that don’t communicate your message properly.
- Financial loss: Customers with unresolved issues most likely won’t purchase from your company again, and they may even tell their friends and family about their negative experience.
