Consumers are more likely to engage with assistants that communicate in their preferred language. Kore.ai XO Platform supports enabling multiple languages within an assistant without having to rebuild the definitions. The platform supports over 100 languages and you can choose to enable any of these languages for your assistant. You can start building with one language and enable additional languages as and when you need them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enabling a language requires you to train the model to understand the user’s input and present the responses in the user’s language. To achieve this, the platform allows you to choose <\/span>Conversation (Bot) Language<\/b> and <\/span>NLU Language<\/b> for every language that you would like to enable. In most cases, the Conversation Language can be the same as the NLU Language.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n

Conversation (Bot) Language<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Conversation Language is the one that users use to interact with the assistant. You can choose any of the over 100 languages as the Conversation Language. You can define the responses (prompts, messages. etc.,) in the Conversation Language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also use the automatic response translation feature when you or your team does not have expertise in the user’s language. You can write the responses in your preferred language and the platform will automatically translate them to the user’s language during the conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The following are the Conversation Languages supported by the platform:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

NLU Language<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

NLU Language is the one that you train the assistant to identify the user’s intents. The NLU model is built using the NLU Language that you choose. This language can be the same as the Conversation language or it can be any other supported language.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
