What Is a Bilingual Customer Service Representative?

These professionals handle inquiries, complaints, and service issues via phone, email, live chat, or social media—ensuring smooth, accurate communication across language barriers. Bilingual CSRs are essential for companies serving international customers or entering new language markets.
