### Answer To get your agent speaking in Arabic, you need to configure the language setting properly. The

language

field specifies what language and dialect the speech recognition will operate in [(1) ]() [(2) ]() [(3) ]() . However, based on available documentation, Arabic (

ar-SA

) is listed as a supported language option for speech recognition . According to a community discussion, when building an Arabic assistant, you need to write all prompts and knowledge bases in Arabic as well [(4) ]() . This means: 1. Set the

language

field to

"ar-SA"

in your agent configuration [(1) ]() [(2) ]() [(3) ]() 2. Write all your prompts in Arabic 3. Write your knowledge base content in Arabic If you've only changed the language setting but kept your prompts in English, the agent may still respond in English because the underlying prompt instructions are in English. Make sure you've updated both the language setting and rewritten your prompts in Arabic to get Arabic responses.
