Switch Locale - Cognigy Documentation

Switch Locale Node configuration panel

Description

The Switch Locale Node changes the Locale of the Flow during a conversation. It is common to use this Node after language detection or based on the region of the user to execute a change to the conversational language or structure based on an assessment of the user’s region or spoken language.

Prerequisites

A Locale must be configured in order to populate the options available for selection in the Locale list.

Parameters

Updated in 4.80

Parameter	Description
Use CognigyScript	Toggle to use CognigyScript to switch the Locale using the Locale reference ID in the Locale field.
Locale	Select the Locale to switch to or enter the Locale reference ID if the Use CognigyScript is activated.

Usage

To switch the Locale for the current execution, you need to use a Think Node after the Switch Locale Node. With this functionality, the current Flow is triggered again, but the new Locale is used.
