Set Translation - Cognigy Documentation

Updated in 2026.11

Set Translation Node configuration panel

Description

This Node lets you override the real-time translation settings defined in the Endpoint settings for the ongoing session. The settings defined in this Node persist for all subsequent user inputs, including during a handover to a human agent, until another Set Translation Node is executed or the session ends.

Restrictions

Translation with the Set Translation Node is supported only for the output types of the AI channel in your Nodes.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Translation Enabled	Sets how to override the real-time translation settings in the Endpoint settings: When turned on, overrides real-time translation set in the Endpoint settings for the rest of the session. When turned off, deactivates real-time translation and defaults the User Input Language and Flow Language settings to English.
User Input Language	Sets the language identified in the user input. Enter the respective language code supported by the machine translation provider you configured. If an unsupported language code is provided, the user input language defaults to English.
Flow Language	Sets the language to translate the output to. Enter the respective language code supported by the machine translation provider you configured. If an unsupported language code is provided, the Flow language defaults to English.
Don’t translate Payloads	Avoids translating the payload content when it is returned. This parameter is activated by default.
No-Translation Marker	Sets the no-translation marker. Any text inside two no-translation markers isn’t translated in the AI Agent output. This parameter can be used for trademarks or other business terms that must not be translated. By default, the no-translation marker is ``. For example, if you write `Willkommen, Moin**!` in a Say Node of your Flow and the detected language is English, the AI Agent sends `Welcome, Moin!` to the user because `Moin` is inside the no-translation markers.
Set user input language on execution count	This parameter works only when the User Input Language is set to `Auto-Detect`. Sets the number of user inputs the AI Agent uses to identify the user’s language.
Always remove No-translation Markers	Removes the no-translation markers from the user-facing output, even when translation isn’t enabled.
