Can I use the Dust agents in different languages?

Absolutely! Dust agents have strong multilingual capabilities. Here's what you need to know:

How it works

Dust agents are powered by large language models (LLMs) that natively understand and generate text in a wide variety of languages. This means you can:

  • Write to an agent in any language and it will understand you
  • Receive responses in your language - agents naturally reply in the language you use
  • Set instructions in one language while interacting in another - the agent adapts to the conversation language

Key highlights

  • 50+ languages supported for drafting messages
  • No special configuration needed for most use cases - just write in your preferred language
  • Voice mode also supports transcription across 70+ languages with automatic detection

Tips for your agents

  • If you want an agent to always respond in a specific language regardless of the input language, you can specify that in the agent's instructions (e.g. "Always respond in French")
  • If you want the agent to match the user's language, you can instruct it to do so explicitly, or simply leave it without language instructions (it will naturally mirror the user's language)
  • Data sources connected to your agents are language-agnostic - the agent will retrieve and summarize content even if it's in a different language than the question
