Language preferences

Your team can work with Windy in the language they’re most comfortable with. This article explains how Windy picks a language for each person and what to expect in the Windmill Dashboard.

​

How Windy chooses a language

Windy is multilingual. Windy works out each person’s language from two sources:

• Past conversations. Windy looks at the language a person has used in earlier conversations with Windy.
• Information from your company. Windy also uses language-anchoring context that your company may provide (i.e. a Pulse question written in Portuguese).

Windy then uses that language, plus its history with the user, when it reaches out and when it replies. This applies to Pulse surveys, 1:1 preparation, performance reviews, and conversations you start with Windy.

Changing the language Windy uses

If Windy uses a language you don’t want, reply in the language you prefer. You can also ask Windy directly, and Windy will record it in its memory:
