Is there any way that the users language can be set and answerd in, based on the users response?

Hey, im having a problem related to the translation and use of the users language. How can I pick up the users language and use it in the bot responses without any buttons?

To set and respond in the user's language based on their input without using buttons, you can leverage Voiceflow's Natural Language Understanding (NLU) capabilities. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Capture User Input: Use a capture step to record the user's input. This input can be a free-form text where the user specifies their preferred language. 2. Identify Language: Implement an intent that recognizes different language phrases. For example, you can create an intent for each language you want to support (e.g., "I want to speak in Spanish", "Je veux parler en français"). 3. Set Language Variable: Once the user's language preference is identified, store this information in a variable. You can use this variable to dynamically adjust the language of the responses. 4. Dynamic Responses: Use conditional steps to check the language variable and provide responses in the appropriate language. For instance, if the language variable is set to "Spanish", the bot will respond in Spanish. Here is a simplified example of how you can set this up:

1. **Capture Step**: 
   - Prompt: "Which language would you like to use?"
   - Capture: User's response (e.g., "I want to speak in Spanish")

2. **Intent Recognition**:
   - Create intents for different languages (e.g., "SpanishIntent", "FrenchIntent")
   - Map phrases to these intents (e.g., "I want to speak in Spanish" -> "SpanishIntent")

3. **Set Variable**:
   - If "SpanishIntent" is recognized, set a variable `language = "Spanish"`

4. **Conditional Responses**:
   - If `language == "Spanish"`, respond with "Hola, ¿cómo puedo ayudarte?"
   - If `language == "French"`, respond with "Bonjour, comment puis-je vous aider?"

1. **Capture Step**: 
   - Prompt: "Which language would you like to use?"
   - Capture: User's response (e.g., "I want to speak in Spanish")

2. **Intent Recognition**:
   - Create intents for different languages (e.g., "SpanishIntent", "FrenchIntent")
   - Map phrases to these intents (e.g., "I want to speak in Spanish" -> "SpanishIntent")

3. **Set Variable**:
   - If "SpanishIntent" is recognized, set a variable `language = "Spanish"`

4. **Conditional Responses**:
   - If `language == "Spanish"`, respond with "Hola, ¿cómo puedo ayudarte?"
   - If `language == "French"`, respond with "Bonjour, comment puis-je vous aider?"

This approach allows you to dynamically adjust the bot's language based on the user's input without relying on buttons. For more detailed guidance, you can refer to Voiceflow's documentation on capturing user input and using intents.

@Radiant raindrop you can also use include the following prompt and manage different languages this way "Detect the language of the user's input and respond in the same language."
