Hello everyone. I am setting up a french voice agent using Cartesia French Conversational Lady. It works well except for the idle messages. How can I translate them in french ? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1369326347372990535/1369326347616256151/image.png?ex=681b740a&is=681a228a&hm=7856f5d48453d51fcb91f18e3c55175e93272b0b3f9294d0d1ebbbddf5edb72e&

To translate idle messages to French, you need to update them using the VAPI API. Here's how:

bash
curl -X PATCH https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/id \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
  "messagePlan": {
    "idleMessages": [
      "Êtes-vous toujours là?",
      "Avez-vous besoin d'autre chose?"
    ],
    "idleMessageMaxSpokenCount": 3,
    "idleTimeoutSeconds": 8
  }
}'

Replace the French messages with your preferred translations and update your assistant ID and token. Source: - [Discord Channel](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1333783762579755020)

How do we do it in the VAPI Dashboard UI ? I don't wanna use the API

Use Cartesia’s localization feature to apply a French accent and language.. https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/multilingual

This doc does not mention Cartesia at all. I have selected a french voice and french transcription already. The idle-message default to english, though

Hey, checking if this is resolved/solved for you?

Yeah, can you add multi-lingual idle message support in the UI please ?

That sounds like a great feature to suggest for later releases. Please suggest it here:

I just did. Thanks ! https://roadmap.vapi.ai/feature-requests/p/translate-assistant-idle-messages-in-other-languages-directly-in-dashboard
