During today’s BETA session, we had a great question come up about language support in the AI Search Assistant.
The Question:
If I interact with search and the chatbot in a different language (for example, French), will the AI Posting Assistant also create my draft post in that language?
The Answer:
Right now, the Posting Assistant always drafts posts in English — even if your conversation with the AI was in another language.
Here’s an example:
- I searched for “Réactions” in French. The AI gave me a French-language summary -
- I was able to continue refining my search in French
- But when I chose to “Ask the Community,” the drafted post was created in English.
So, in summary, the AI Search Assistant can already understand and interact in multiple languages for search and chat.
However, we will need to work with our AI team to unlock the multilingual posting use case, especially for customers with multilingual communities. This will ensure members can not only search and chat in their preferred language, but also create posts that feel natural and inclusive in those languages.
The long-term vision is that the draft language adapts to the context:
- If the community only supports English → draft the post in English.
- If posting into a French subcommunity → draft the post in French.
- Once AI translations roll out → draft in the user’s preferred language, so posts can be automatically and accurately translated for other members.
