06/08/2023, 2:18 PMHey @green-army-85614, you can enable the "Translation Agent" over in the agents tab int eh top left corner. If "Detect User Language" is selected, then the bot will respond in whatever language the user is using. You can also hard-code the language by using an Execute code card to set
{{user.TranslatorAgent.language}}acceptable-kangaroo-64719

06/08/2023, 2:39 PMv12 can only do one language at a time. I actually don't remember off the top of my head how to change languages 😅 @flat-plumber-75402 do you remember?
