Native LLM generation and Knowledge ingestion now cover all 60 of Ada’s supported languages, up from 9. The Reasoning Engine generates responses directly in the end user’s language for every supported language, and Knowledge articles in those languages are ingested by default and visible in the Knowledge page of the dashboard.
Newly supported languages
The following 51 languages now support both native LLM generation and Knowledge ingestion:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Burmese, Catalan, Chichewa (Nyanja), Chinese (Traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Filipino (Tagalog), Finnish, Greek, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Japanese, Kazakh, Khmer, Kinyarwanda, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Ndebele (South), Norwegian, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sesotho, Shona, Slovak, Slovenian, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Xhosa, Zulu.
These join the 9 languages already supported: English, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish.
What this means for end users
End users in the newly supported languages benefit from the following improvements:
- Faster responses, because the Google Translate round-trip is removed and responses can stream in the end user’s language.
- Higher-quality replies generated directly in the end user’s language rather than translated from English.
- More accurate handling of tone, idioms, and honorifics.
- More faithful adherence to tone and style instructions provided through Coaching and Custom Instructions.
Changes to Knowledge articles
Knowledge articles in the newly supported languages now appear in the Knowledge page of the dashboard, including articles from existing knowledge integrations that were previously hidden because the AI Agent did not have multilingual ingestion enabled.
To preserve existing AI Agent behavior, all existing non-English articles for AI Agents that did not previously have multilingual ingestion enabled are set to Inactive. Review these articles in the dashboard and set them to Active to make them available for the AI Agent to use in responses.
Articles created or synced after this date follow standard behavior and default to Active.
AI Agents that already had multilingual ingestion enabled before this date are not affected by the activation change.
How the AI Agent selects Knowledge by language
When Knowledge articles exist in the end user’s language, the AI Agent uses only those articles to generate the response. English articles are not mixed in. If coverage in a specific language is partial, options include:
- Translating the remaining articles into that language.
- Setting the partial-coverage articles to Inactive so the AI Agent falls back to English.
- Contacting your Ada team to enable language-agnostic Knowledge search, which lets the AI Agent search across all languages regardless of the end user’s language.
