## Summary

A leading global provider of cutting-edge software and services, embarked on a transformative journey to expand the reach of their [Conversational Interactive Voice Response (IVR)](/topics/ivr) Service Bot across multiple languages. CDI helped them successfully scale and localize across 3 key languages, allowing the company to access and serve new markets. 

## The challenge

The company had identified a growing need to extend their functionality beyond English, in order to provide both existing and new customers with language capabilities that would make product registration a lot easier. The target languages included French and Spanish spoken in North America, and Japanese. To achieve this ambitious goal, they engaged CDI to provide expert localization and testing assistance.

## How we supported

Recognizing CDI’s diverse range in language expertise along with our high [conversation design](/topics/conversation-design) standards, the company entrusted us to deliver end-to-end support for the localization project in the North American and Japanese markets. 

The scope involved not only translating dialogues, training phrases, and entities but also managing content in a way that aligns with the nature of the [Conversational IVR](/topics/ivr). This also included testing, tuning and optimization of all non-English applications. 

Within just 20 weeks, CDI was able to deliver a fully localized and tested corpus for all three languages. The methodical sprint structure enabled continuous improvement and ensured that the multilingual expansion of the [IVR](/topics/ivr) solution met all requirements.
