How to make a Multilingual Agent in Botsify?

One of the biggest advantages of Agentic Botsify is that your AI agent can easily communicate in multiple languages. Whether you want your bot to speak only Spanish, switch to French on demand, or automatically detect and respond in the user’s language — it’s all possible.

Option 1: Set a Default Language

If you want your agent to always start in a specific language, simply instruct it:

Your default language is Spanish. Speak in Spanish in all responses.

Now your bot will greet and interact in Spanish by default.

Option 2: Enable All Languages (Auto-Detect)

If you want your agent to answer in the same language as the user, just say:

You must talk in all languages. Always reply in the user’s preferred language.

Example:

• If a user types in English → agent replies in English.
• If a user types in French → agent replies in French.

Option 3: Change Widget Language

If you’re using the Botsify website widget, you can also set the widget interface language (buttons, input placeholder, system text) to your desired language.
For example, change it to Spanish, and the widget will appear in Spanish by default.

Pro Tips:

• You can switch languages anytime by just chatting with your agent. For example: “From now on, talk only in French.”

If your audience is global, it’s best to set:

• Always answer in the same language as the user’s message.
• Combine this with Quick Replies in multiple languages to guide users better.

✅ Summary:

• Set a default language for the agent.
• Or allow the agent to auto-detect and respond in the user’s language.
• Change the widget language for localized UI.
• Switch languages anytime just by chatting with your agent.
