  1. Head to your Intercom Articles project and click on the "Languages" tab to localise the organization's help-center content. 
    Note: Set the character limit on Lingpad to reflect the one on Intercom. This will ensure hurdle-free export after localization!
  2. To localize your knowledge base, you can invite your own team members, external translators, and localization partners. Alternatively, you can place an order with our preferred Language Service Partners (LSP) through Lingpad by clicking on the "Orders" icon at the top-right corner of your Lingpad dashboard.
    Tip: You can use the Pre-translation feature through your existing Translation Memories (TM) or AI.
