Playing prompts in different languages

In internal calls prompts are played to agents in their prompt language you set in User and Role Management > Users, in the Basics block.

For customers prompts are played in the language of the queue. Set the queue prompt language in Queue Management > Queues, in the Basics block.

If no language is set for a queue or a user, the default system language is used.

For the list of supported languages, see System Languages. You can also add a custom language, see Adding Custom Languages.

Some special cases

  • When a call that arrives in a queue is automatically forwarded to another queue, the second queue plays the prompts in a language defined for the first queue.

  • If an agent picks the call from the first queue and transfers it to another queue, the queue prompts in the second queue are played in the second queue’s language.

  • If an agent’s presence profile directly forwards a call to a queue, and when the agent is called and they do not pick up the call, the call is forwarded to the queue but the prompts are played in agent’s prompt language.
