About
Language I/O is a purpose-built AI translation solution designed for enterprise customer support operations. It eliminates language barriers by providing instant, accurate translations directly within the tools support teams already use—Salesforce Service Cloud, Zendesk, Oracle Service Cloud, ServiceNow, and Intercom—meaning there's no need to switch between applications or copy-paste content. At the core of the platform is a commitment to accuracy, security, and speed. Language I/O selects the best translation engine for each language pair, ensuring consistently high-quality output across its 150+ language catalog. Enterprise-grade security controls ensure that sensitive customer conversations remain protected at every touchpoint. The platform now includes Voice Translation, extending multilingual support to live phone-based interactions, and a Secure Page Translator for Chrome that brings safe translations anywhere on the web. The new Lio Agent Assistant leverages AI to help support agents respond more efficiently and fluently in any language. Language I/O also offers a Developer API, enabling teams to embed multilingual capabilities into custom apps and workflows. Reporting dashboards provide actionable insights into translation quality, volume, and business impact. The platform is used across industries including travel, gaming, retail, financial services, manufacturing, BPO, and entertainment, making it ideal for any global enterprise looking to scale customer experience without scaling headcount.
