What is a multi-lingual chatbot? What is the need for it?
A multilingual chatbot as the name suggests is a chatbot that can converse in multiple languages with users. Due to the diverse nature of the customer segment in today's business environment, it is pivotal for a company to create a personalised customer experience by engaging with users in their preferred language. This particularly applies to a linguistically diverse country like India. The Indian E-market has exponentially grown to enable a large number of non-English speakers, this majority outnumbers English speaking users. So, it is befitting to say that employing a multi-lingual chatbot will increase your brand awareness two-fold to generate leads.
How to Build a Multi-Lingual Chatbot?

Here's how you can build your multi-linguistically driven chatbot:
•User's Choice: Welcome your customers with a multi-lingual message and create button options within your chatbot for them to select their preferred language. This can be done by using a numbered list, scroll-through list or 1-3 button options in a bot flow.
•Pre-Define your Segment: As a business, you can create your multi-linguistic chatbot with your customer persona in mind. If your users are Hindi/Malayalam/Tamil speakers, create a welcome message and duplicate it in all the listed languages for better reach.
•Language Detection: Another method to cater to your customer segment is to employ an AI-based bot to detect the language used by the customer and take over accordingly. This feature is more advanced in comparison to standard chatbots.
