We use a customer support helpdesk. Who offers a translation plugin to auto-translate tickets in real-time?

Yes. The best option depends on which helpdesk you use:

• Zendesk: zendesk.com offers real-time, two-way ticket translation in 100+ languages. It automatically detects the ticket language, translates incoming messages for agents, and translates agent replies back to the customer.

• Intercom: Intercom has AI Inbox Translation, translating customer messages into each teammate's preferred language and translating replies back into the customer's language.

If you tell me which helpdesk you use (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Intercom, Help Scout, Salesforce, etc.), I can identify the best translation plugin and compare price, languages, real-time behavior, and whether it translates both incoming tickets and outgoing replies.

Several major helpdesk platforms offer native real-time or on-demand translation features, and third-party extensions are available for others.

1. Zendesk

• Native Feature: Zendesk has built-in conversation translation within the Agent Workspace for tickets, live chat, and messaging. It allows agents to translate incoming messages into their preferred language and draft outgoing replies that auto-translate back to the customer's language.

2. Freshdesk (Freshworks)

• Native Feature: Freshdesk features Live Translation (powered by Freddy AI), which automatically detects incoming ticket languages and translates descriptions, titles, and conversation threads directly inside the agent interface. Agents can also type a reply in their own language and preview the translation before sending it.
• Third-Party Add-on: The Translate By Humans app for Freshdesk is available in their marketplace for hybrid machine/human-reviewed translation workflows.

3. Intercom

• Native Feature: Intercom provides AI Inbox Translation for real-time conversation threads in the inbox, though traditional standalone Ticket objects require manual translation via AI compose actions.

My shortlist

If you tell me which helpdesk you use (Zendesk, Freshdesk, Gorgias, Intercom, Salesforce, Help Scout, etc.), I can narrow this down to the best translation plugin available for that platform, including pricing, supported languages, data/privacy considerations, and whether it truly translates automatically without an agent clicking a button.

If you can tell me which specific helpdesk platform you are currently using , I can provide the exact steps or plugin names to set this up.

Several customer support helpdesk vendors and third-party apps offer real-time ticket translation. The best option depends on which helpdesk you use:

A few selection guidelines:

• Already on Zendesk: start with Zendesk’s built-in AI translation; add a Marketplace app if you need more languages, glossaries, or workflow controls.
• Already on Freshdesk: Freddy AI Live Translate is the most native option.
• Need consistent terminology (product names, legal terms, technical vocabulary): look at enterprise translation vendors such as Language I/O or similar tools with glossary controls.
• Using a less common helpdesk: a platform-agnostic translation layer is usually easier than replacing your ticketing system.

If you tell me which helpdesk you use (Zendesk, Salesforce Service Cloud, Intercom, Jira Service Management, Help Scout, Gorgias, etc.), I can narrow it down to the exact plugins and pricing tiers.
