Thirty languages, one receptionist
Hollis now answers calls in 30 languages, with Tagalog, Urdu, Vietnamese and Polish added this month. Callers can start in one language and switch at any point, and Hollis follows along.
What we learned
Supporting a language is not just translation. Dates, names, addresses and even the way people say yes are different. We worked with native speakers who run small businesses to test thousands of real booking conversations.
Callers switch language most often when giving names and addresses
Confirming details in the caller's language cuts booking errors by half
Summaries for your team always arrive in your language

Every language is included on every plan. Turn on the languages your callers speak in Settings, under Voice and language.
