How to Use Inline Translations to Communicate with Your Team in Their Native Language

Clear communication is the backbone of any successful team. In fast-paced environments, especially in hospitality or service industries, it's crucial that everyone understands instructions and updates—regardless of their native language. That’s where

Why Inline Translations Matter

Optii Service supports multiple languages, allowing team members to communicate more effectively in their preferred language. With inline translations, you can type a message in your own language, and your team member will receive it in theirs—automatically. This reduces confusion, increases clarity, and helps create a more inclusive workplace.

Where Can I Use Inline Translations?

This feature is available on both the desktop version and mobile devices, making it easy to stay connected whether you’re at your desk or on the move.

Setting Up Inline Translations in Optii Service

Follow these simple steps to enable and use inline translations:

  1. Open Optii Service and Navigate to Settings

    • Log in to your Optii Service account.

    • Go to the Settings section.

  2. Set Language Preferences for Each Team Member

    • In the Users tab, select a team member’s profile.

    • Set their preferred language from the available options.

  3. Start Chatting with Your Team

    • Go to the Chat tab.

    • Start a conversation with a team member.

Once this is set up, messages you send will be automatically translated based on the recipient’s language preference.
For example:

  • If you write a message in English and your team member's profile is set to Spanish, they will receive it in Spanish.

  • The same applies in reverse—messages from your team member will be translated into English for you (if your profile is set to English).


Inline translation is a powerful feature that enhances teamwork, eliminates language barriers, and ensures no one misses important information. Take a few minutes to set it up, and empower your team to work smarter—together.
