Can QnAsheet detect questions and give answers in different languages? (Is it multilingual?)
Yes, QnAsheet is multilingual so you can have Questions and Answers in different languages.
When someone types a question into your chatbot, the language is detected and used to do a match using that language code in Dialogflow.
It supports all of Dialogflow's 100 languages (as at March 2024). See the list below or on the Dialogflow page.
When you install QnAsheet, you nominate a default, or base language. This is the language most used by your chatbot. If you only want the chatbot to converse in that language there is nothing else to do.
To add questions and answers on your sheet in different languages, simply create columns with heading names (the first row) with the language code in parenthesis () like (fr) for French. See below for all languages and their codes.
If you just use the heading Question or Answer, it will assume the question or answer is using the base language.
For example:
Heading Name | Language |
|---|---|
Question | A question in the base language |
Answer | An answer in the base language |
Question (fr) | A question in French |
Answer (fr) | An answer in French |
Question (zh-tw) | A question in Chinese (Traditional) |
Answer (zh-tw) | An answer in Chinese (Traditional) |
Upper or Lowercase letters and spaces are ignored in headings.
A limitation of Dialogflow ES is that the base language cannot be changed once created. However, you can always create another project using the QnAsheet Installation.
