Language support

You can create agents in Copilot Studio in many languages. Your agents can reach a broader audience and engage with more markets around the world.

Specify the primary language for your agent

Specify the target language when you create your agent.

Important

Once you set your agent's primary language, it can't be changed. You can only add secondary languages. For more information on how to configure multilingual agents, see Configure and create multilingual agents.

  1. From the Home page, select Create > New agent.

  2. Select Edit language, then select a language from Primary agent language, and then Save.

  3. When you're finished configuring your agent, select Create at the top of the page.

Default content in the target language

After your new agent is created, you notice it already has content in the target language, including system topics and template user topics on the Topics page.

You can create new topics for your agent, author agent trigger phrases, and create agent messages in your target language.

You can test the agent in the chat pane. In chat, you see how well the agent understands user input and how it responds in that language.

List of supported languages

Copilot Studio features support different languages in stages. The stages indicate how well the agent can understand user inputs in that language. General availability being the strongest, followed by preview, then no support.

Note

Support levels also include your level of Microsoft customer service support. For example, features in preview don't have Microsoft customer service support, while general availability includes full customer service support.

The following table includes information on the support levels (Supported, Preview, Not supported) and Copilot Studio features. The columns of the table include the following features:

  • Authoring canvas: The agent maker sees the Copilot Studio UI in the target language.
  • User language: The language a user can type in chat to ask questions. Exceptions include agents with generative AI features that aren't yet available in some languages.
  • Generative answers: A Copilot Studio feature that autogenerates chat responses.
  • Generative orchestration: A Copilot Studio feature that selects the most appropriate combination of topics, actions, and knowledge sources at each turn during a conversation.
  • Voice support: A Copilot Studio feature that supports interactive voice response agents.
