Changing conversation language
Neural networks that we are using to perform machine translation sometimes fail to understand the language of the message (for example, if it contains typos or content in several languages).
Agents can change the language of a conversation using the sidebar widget. See Change the conversation language via the sidebar widget section in the tutorial for agents.
