6.2 Use Auto Translation on OneView
-
Agents in the one view will be able to see a panel above the respond box that will indicate the to -> from language with a toggle button that can be switched on and off. This panel will be available only when the steps to set up auto-translation have been completed.
- Ensure that the toggle is ON, for the auto translation to work seamlessly, switching the toggle to OFF will disable auto translation of messages.
-
If the auto translation fails then the toggle goes into the OFF state and a message is displayed on the panel ‘Auto translation failed !’. The agent cannot switch on the toggle in this state. When the auto translation service is again online the ‘to’ -> ‘from’ message is displayed once more and the agent can switch the toggle on once more for the auto-translation to begin.
-
Users will see the agent and bot messages, in their select or default language.
