How to use Lingpad App to request AI-powered translations

When you come across a multilingual ticket and the customer's language and your default language are different, follow these steps:

Step 1: Auto-detection

You need to enable the 'Auto Detection' toggle to detect the customer's language and receive AI-powered translations of the inbound ticket. 
i. If the language of the ticket has been accurately detected, and the inbound ticket has been translated, you can respond to the customer as per Step 2 mentioned below.  
ii. If the language of the ticket is different from the one automatically detected by the system, you need to change the customer language by selecting the relevant language from the drop-down menu. It is important to ensure that the customer language is correct before placing an AI-powered translation order. 

Step 2: Type In Your Response

In the Reply tab, select 'Note' and type '!' and then add your response. Click 'Add Note' to order AI-powered translations. The translated reply will be sent to the customer automatically.
