Bilingual Support

Every caller gets a real conversation

Zevaux speaks English and Spanish natively on every plan. No 'press 2 for Español', no transfer queues, no awkward handoffs - Zevaux detects the language and switches seamlessly mid-call.

Mid-call switching

Included by default

Bilingual is on every plan from $49. No add-ons, no surcharges.

The problem

What happens when callers can't speak in their language

Spanish-speaking customers are a major share of service-business revenue. Phone trees and transfer queues lose them.

Spanish callers hang up on IVR menus

'Press 2 for Español' feels cold and bureaucratic. Most callers hang up before pressing anything.

Transfers cost the customer

Even when bilingual staff exists, the transfer queue creates a 60-second-plus wait that kills urgency.

Front desk can't always cover both

Small teams don't always have a bilingual staffer available — and Spanish calls go to voicemail.

Missed leads in growing markets

Service businesses in Spanish-speaking markets lose 20-40% of inbound calls to language gaps.
