Choose supported languages

Within a flow’s general configuration, you can configure supported languages. Architect lists the names of supported languages in audio-related forms, so that you can select a particular language for playback or recording of a prompt. For more information about adding a supported language, see Add a supported language to a flow.

Under Settings, click Supported Languages. 

Name Description and use

Language

Add the languages that you want to support within the flow. When you select a supported language, Architect lists the language status: Early Preview, Preview. No status next to a language indicates that it is generally available.

Default

Click the language that you want to select as the default language for the flow.

Note: If an interaction does not have a set language, then Architect uses the default language for the flow. For example, Architect transfers an interaction from one flow to another, and you set the language in Flow 1 but not in Flow 2. When Architect transfers the interaction from Flow 1 to Flow 2 and Flow 2 supports the language set in Flow 1, then Flow 2 defaults to that language.

You set your default language when you create a bot flow, and you cannot change it. You can also configure a knowledge base for the languages that you add here. However, knowledge bases are not available in all languages.

For more information about Genesys Dialog Engine Bot Flows supported languages, see Genesys Cloud supported languages.

Intent and slot type behavior for supported languages

You can only add, edit, and delete intents and slot types with the default language. Train each intent with a different set of training utterances per language. To add a new intent, use the default language and then enter training phrases for each language. When you add a new slot type with the default language, use the Localized Value box to add a new set of synonyms for each supported language. For more information, see Add slot types and utterances to intents for supported languages in a flow.
