@AI Evy I am looking for support of languages - Telugu & Bengali. Unfortunately, these languages are not supported by Retell. But ElevenLabs natively supports these languages. How do I go about using those languages (particularly Indian languages like Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi & more) which are natively supported by ElevenLabs but not yet integrated with Retell?

Thanks for tagging me @evergreen. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Based on the available sources, I don't have specific information about adding Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi, or other Indian languages that aren't currently integrated with Retell AI. However, I can share what's documented about ElevenLabs integration with Retell AI: ElevenLabs supports multilingual capabilities through their models - the 11 multilingual V1 supports nine languages, and the 11 Turbo 2 supports English only [(1) ](

) . According to the changelog, Retell AI added multilingual agent support for English and Spanish [(2) ]() . For adding custom ElevenLabs voices to Retell AI, you can add custom voices through the voice selector by clicking "Add custom voice" to search and add 11labs community voices [(3) ]() . When adding a voice via the API, you need to provide the
provider_voice_id
(the voice ID from ElevenLabs) , a custom
voice_name
, and for ElevenLabs specifically, the
public_user_id
of the voice owner is required . Unfortunately, the sources don't indicate whether you can bring your own ElevenLabs API key to access languages not yet integrated into Retell AI's platform . I'd recommend reaching out to support@retellai.com with your specific language requirements for Telugu, Bengali, and Punjabi to understand if there's a way to access these ElevenLabs-supported languages through Retell AI's platform, or if these languages are on the roadmap for future integration.

I email support@retellai.com & you tell me to go to discord, and on discord you ask me to email support@retellai.com . Something seriously wrong with the backend AI! I do not want voice, I want Language Support. Could you please tell why the languages which are supported by ElevenLabs already, are not supported by Retell AI when you guys already integrate with ElevenLabs?
@AI Evy Please help. Or anybody else, any idea?

Thanks for the follow-up, @evergreen. I'll get back to you soon.
### Answer I understand your frustration. Based on the available sources, I don't have specific documentation explaining why languages supported by ElevenLabs aren't automatically available in Retell AI, or how to enable Telugu, Bengali, or Punjabi specifically. What I can confirm from the sources: ElevenLabs' multilingual capabilities include the 11 multilingual V1 model supporting nine languages and the 11 Turbo 2 model for English [(1) ](

▾

) . However, the sources don't specify which nine languages are included in the multilingual V1 model or whether Telugu, Bengali, and Punjabi are among them. From a community discussion, one user asked about Czech language support, noting that "11Labs v2 supports Czech" [(2) ]() , which suggests there may be a gap between ElevenLabs' language offerings and what's integrated into Retell AI. Unfortunately, bringing your own ElevenLabs account to access additional languages is not currently possible [(3) ]() . For your specific language requirements (Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi) , I'd recommend: - Visit [Contact Sales]() to inquire about enterprise-level language support - Ask questions on [Discord]() - Visit The sources don't provide a technical workaround for accessing ElevenLabs languages that aren't yet integrated into Retell AI's platform.
