Configuring the Language Activity

The Language activity changes IVR Routing’s system language, enabling the IVR to provide an identical workflow in different languages. When the Language activity is reached in the workflow, all subsequent prompts play in the set language. For example, you can insert a Language activity into a menu to allow customers to choose the language in which they receive service. By supporting multiple languages in a single workflow, the Language activity reduces the number of prompts you must create and the number of duplicate activities in your workflow. The Language activity also reduces the number of ports that IVR Routing uses by allowing the same set of ports to be used for multiple languages. You can set and edit the languages for Language activities.

The Language activity is available in
  • Inbound, Outbound, Inqueue, and Media workflows
  • Inbound, Outbound, Media, Management, UPiQ, and Callback Inbound subroutines
Note:
  • The language value is stored within the <<Language>> system variable. Each subsequent Language action overwrites the value in the system variable.
  • The language activity is used only if the call is Active in the IVR.
