### Answer Yes, Retell AI supports both Spanish and English through multilingual capabilities. [(1) ]() For agents that need to handle both languages, you can use the
multi
language setting, which currently supports Spanish and English. [(2) ]() [(3) ]() [(4) ]() When creating or updating an agent, set the
language
parameter to
"multi"
. For code-switching within a single conversation (where users switch between Spanish and English) , you should: 1. Use the multilingual Spanish/English language model by setting
language
to
"multi"
2. Include prompting instructions like "ask the user their language preference in english and spanish, and once they have told you, use this consistently throughout your conversation" [(5) ]() Retell automatically routes to the best speech recognition provider based on your language selection. [(6) ]() For multilingual support with Spanish and English, Deepgram's multilingual mode supports code-switching across these languages. Note that prompts for Spanish agents can be written in English with instructions to speak Spanish, and this works effectively. [(5) ]()
