Language learners increasingly rely on intelligent digital tools to supplement their learning experiences, yet existing chatbots often provide limited support, lacking adaptability, personalization, or domain-specific intelligence. This study introduces a novel AI-powered multi-agent chatbot architecture designed to support English–Arabic translation and language learning. Developed through a three-phase methodology, offline preparation, real-time deployment, and evaluation, the system employs both retrieval-based and generative AI models, with specialized agents managing tasks such as translation, example retrieval, user translation review, and learning feedback. The chatbot was developed using a hybrid architecture incorporating fine-tuned Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model, sentence embedding techniques, and similarity evaluation metrics. A user study involving 40 undergraduate students and 4 faculty members evaluated the system across usability, effectiveness, and pedagogical value. Results show that the multi-agent chatbot significantly enhanced learner engagement, provided accurate and contextually appropriate language support, and was positively received by both students and instructors. These findings demonstrate the value of multi-agent design in language learning applications and highlight the potential of AI-driven chatbots as intelligent educational assistants.
