The other day my friend Mark, an American expatriate and I, having undergone my entire schooling in American schools, were talking about how everyone should speak English. It is so easy and most technological terms are en English not to mention that most business is conducted in English. We both agreed that aside from Mandarin (obviously, there are 1 billion people in China) English was the most widely spoken language. Hence you can imagine my surprise when I found out the Spanish was actually the most-spoken language after Mandarin!

Most English-speaking people, me included, tend to think that everyone should speak English and frown upon people who don't. We expect to be spoken to in our language by just everyone and everywhere we go. But this being said, doesn't everyone deserve to be addressed to in their own language? And even more so if they speak the most widely spoken language in the western hemisphere?

Therefore, when we talk either about customer service or expanding our business, one of the first things that we should think about is our Hispano-speaking customers given that they represent a huge part of the world market.

Having the ability to provide effective customer service in Spanish is becoming more and more a necessity for all businesses across the United States. The Hispanic population is one of the fastest growing sectors of the population and it is estimated that by 2030, ?Hispanic-origin population would contribute to 45% of the Nation's population growth.?

Another advantage of multilingual chat stems from the innate nature of the Internet. Although you might have office hours and a physical location, your business is open 24/7 and available globally. Therefore more people from different countries can reach our website and offering customer service in their language can give you the upper hand and having a multilingual chat-based customer service will do just that!
