Ovia agents should match the language habits of the market they serve.

Common language modes

Single language

The agent only speaks one language, such as French or English.

Multilingual

The agent can detect and respond in more than one language.

Guided switching

The agent starts in one language and switches only when requested.

Human fallback

The agent transfers when the caller uses an unsupported language.

Market checklist

  • Primary language for the first greeting
  • Secondary languages to support
  • Local names, addresses, and city pronunciation
  • Expected code-switching between French, English, and local languages
  • Transfer rules for unsupported languages
  • Consent and compliance language
For production campaigns, test with real speakers from the target country before launch.
