Proz Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Nobuyuki Amimoto; hereinafter referred to as "Proz"), provider of the enterprise-向け FAQ, AI agent, chat, and ticket management SaaS "ProzAnswers (Proz Answers)", announced on July 6, 2026, the official release of its "Multilingual FAQ" feature, which enables multilingual expansion of FAQ content in up to 23 languages.

This feature was previously offered in a beta version. One adopting company, Bikkuri Donkey (Aleph Co., Ltd.), has seen its multilingual pages account for approximately 8% of its total access in fiscal 2026, contributing to information dissemination to overseas and multilingual customers.

Background | The Burden of Multilingualizing FAQs

Due to globalization and the expansion of inbound demand, providing information to customers other than Japanese speakers is becoming increasingly important. However, preparing and maintaining FAQs in multiple languages requires continuous effort and cost for translation and page management, leading many companies to hesitate in implementing such measures.

Implementation Case Study | Bikkuri Donkey

At Bikkuri Donkey's FAQ site, the use of multilingual FAQs has created an environment where information can be delivered to customers other than Japanese speakers in their respective languages. As of fiscal 2026, pages in languages other than Japanese accounted for approximately 8% of total PVs on a monthly average.

Furthermore, these pages are indexed in Google search results for various languages such as Chinese, Vietnamese, and Arabic, realizing global information dissemination.

"While providing information to inbound and resident foreign customers has been a challenge, the introduction of multilingual FAQs allowed us to deploy our existing FAQs in multiple languages without additional translation work.

After implementation, multilingual pages came to account for about 8% of total access, and they are displayed in search engines in each language, enabling global customer outreach without special operational burdens."
