Selecting languages for an Email channel

Configure Pega Email Bot to process emails in multiple languages so that the system performs text analysis and provides automatic responses in the correct language. By supporting multiple languages in an email bot, you increase the availability of your application to users who speak different languages.

Before you begin: Select a reference operator for the email bot that you want to update. For more information, see Selecting a reference operator for an Email channel.

Pega Email Bot supports multiple languages. After you select the supported languages in which users interact with your email bot, you define text analysis information for topics and suggested cases. You configure reply email templates for each language separately.

Note: By editing the pyGetDefaultLanguage data transform rule for the Data-Channel- class, you can select a default language other than English to use when creating an Email channel. For more information, see Overriding the default language for an Email channel.
