The Bilingual Business Problem

Quebec Bill 96 Compliance Required

Bill 96 strengthens French language rights in Quebec. Businesses serving Quebec customers must be able to communicate in French — non-compliance carries real risk.

Bilingual Staff Costs 20–30% More

Hiring bilingual receptionists commands a significant salary premium. For a small business, that surcharge adds up to thousands of dollars a year.

Traditional Services Charge Per Language

Most answering services treat French as an add-on — billing extra per minute or per language tier. Your bilingual callers shouldn't cost you more.

Awkward Language Transfers Lose Customers

"Please hold while I transfer you to our French line" is a dead end. Callers hang up and your competitor answers in their language on the first try.

What Aria Does for Your Business

Auto-Detects Caller Language

Aria listens to the first few words and instantly switches to the caller's language — no menu prompts, no transfers, no friction.

Responds Naturally in English & French

"Bonjour, je voudrais prendre rendez-vous""Hi, do you have availability?""Est-ce que vous offrez ce service?""Can I speak to someone in French?""Quel est votre horaire?"

No Per-Language Surcharges

Every Aria plan includes full bilingual support at no extra cost. English calls and French calls are treated exactly the same — because they should be.

Quebec French Terminology (Formal vous)

Aria uses Quebec French — the formal "vous", local terminology like courriel and clavardage — not translated European French that sounds foreign to Montreal customers.

Supports 30+ Languages

Beyond English and French, Aria can serve callers in Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, and 30+ other languages — future-proofing your business as Montreal's population grows.

"Our firm serves both anglophone and francophone clients in Montreal. Aria handles both seamlessly — and we haven't had a single complaint about language since we launched."

— David L., Montreal Law Firm, Beta User

The ROI Is Clear

A bilingual receptionist in Montreal commands a $800–1,500/month premium over a unilingual hire. Aria includes full bilingual support at no extra cost — saving you $1,500/month.
