Lesson 7: Add a language and language menu

AI-generated summary

Genesys Cloud allows adding French as a supported language. A language menu is created to let callers hear prompts in French instead of default English. Reusable components like a language selection task are leveraged. French Canada is configured as a supported language. A "Prompt for Language" starting menu routes callers to French content. Speech recognition is configured to recognize French speech terms. Conditional routing transfers non-French callers to the main menu. Reusable "Jump to Menu" actions route English callers to the Emergency Menu on DTMF 0. Key capabilities shown are speech recognition, conditional routing based on caller input, and reusable menu components.

Previous suggested step: Lesson 6: Call flow default configuration

Genesys Cloud Animal Care wants to create a menu option in the main menu to give callers the option of hearing prompts in French, or to return to the main menu without changing the current language selection. In this lesson, you alter the flow to ask callers if they want to hear the prompts in French. If not, the flow continues in English. Set the language selection as a starting task, not a starting menu, in your call flow. This option alleviates the burden of requiring callers to enter the language selection each time they enter another call flow.

Objectives

Add French as a supported language.
Create a language menu that allows a caller to hear prompts in French, rather than the default English.
Create a reusable language selection task to add to the menu.
Set the language menu as the starting menu.
