Enquiries in Three Languages
A language switcher asks the visitor to solve your problem. Detecting the language they already typed does not.
Sound Familiar?
The switcher nobody finds
A flag in a corner, two clicks from the question. Most visitors do not look for it, they just leave.
Three copies of everything
Translate the site and you now maintain three versions of every answer. Two of them are always out of date.
Answered in the wrong language
A Hebrew question answered in English reads as not being listened to, which is worse than a slow reply.
What You Get
Detected from what they typed
The language of the question decides the language of the answer. Nothing to select, nothing to find.
One set of documents
Your material does not have to exist three times. The answer is drawn from what you have and delivered in the language asked.
Hebrew that reads correctly
Right-to-left handled properly, including where Latin names and numbers sit inside a Hebrew sentence, which is where most attempts look broken.
Switching mid-conversation
People change language halfway through, especially when a term only exists in one of them. The conversation follows rather than restarting.
