Chat-based copilot language support

You can create chat-based copilots in Microsoft Copilot Studio in many languages. Your copilots can reach a broader audience and engage with more markets around the world.

Specify a language for your copilot

You specify the target language when you create a copilot in your Copilot Studio canvas.

1. From the Home page, select Create > New custom copilot.

2. Select Language, then select a language from Primary copilot language, and then Save.

   

3. Select Create at the top of the page.

Default content in the target language

After your new copilot is created, you notice it already has content in the target language, including system topics and template user topics on the Topics page.

You can create new topics for your copilot, author copilot trigger phrases, and create copilot messages in your target language.

You can test the copilot in the chat pane. In chat, you see how well the copilot understands user input and how it responds in that language.
