Choose the spoken languages for your market.
For teams in the Netherlands, plan Dutch for local callers and English for international guests. The same approach can pair Danish, Swedish or Finnish with English. In Ireland, English can be the starting point, with further versions chosen for your visitors. The website and working conversation can stay in English throughout.
Decide how callers choose a language.
Consider whether everyone hears two versions, callers select a language by key or different numbers lead to different languages. Keep any language-selection menu short. The routing choice is implemented separately in your phone system.
Translate the purpose, then check the details.
Natural phrasing may differ between languages, but menu keys, opening hours, dates and contact options must agree. Use one source for these details and review all versions when something changes. Avoid a word-for-word translation that sounds awkward aloud.
Check voices separately.
The available voice selection can differ by language. Listen to each full message and pay attention to company names, international terms and number pronunciation. A convincing German voice sample does not establish how an English version will sound.
Choose the right production route.
Create an English message directly in the English generator. In the studio, plan English announcements with additional French or Italian versions. Each extra French or Italian language costs €19 net for Starter, €29 for Duo and Care, or €39 for Kraft. Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Finnish productions are arranged with our team; send your scripts and required languages in English so we can confirm voices, scope and a separate quote.
