Bilingual chamber site and help
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A chamber of commerce runs its events, member directory and newsletters in English, while many of its members work in French, and staff answer the same questions about events and benefits by phone.
// What we would build
A new site in English and French with events and registration, a member directory members keep up to date, and a help centre with an assistant that answers from your own pages in either language and hands anything about a member's account to staff. Your team approves every translation.
