Simply offering Spanish in addition to English via support channels is likely a low bar and not terribly challenging: hiring someone who is fluent in both English and Spanish in the Northern VA region and who is at least a little bit technical and comfortable in a customer service/support role isn't at all difficult, and many such high quality individuals exist in that talent pool. This is made even easier if hiring remote staff within the US is on the table. Adding support for French makes things a fair bit tougher without hiring outside of the US, and even more obscure languages, even more so. (I'm basing this on my experience hiring and working alongside multi-lingual folks in technology environments in the US, YMMV.) </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Take care,</div><div class="">Matt</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div></div>
