Configuring a web chat language
You can build AI assistants to handle with any of the supported languages, but when you use these AI assistants some texts still display in English. It occurs because some texts in the web chat are hardcoded and always appears in the English
language by default.
To address it, the web chat offers language packs that provide translations of each hardcoded English phrase used in the web chat. You configure these packs by using the instance
methods. For more information about the instance
methods, see Supporting global audiences in web chat.
Note: Only multilingual large language models support the Japanese language.
