Language Router

The Language Router action enables users to take advantage of the "Multilingual Service" feature if it is enabled on NuPoint. When users first reach the Message Center or Receptionist application, they are prompted to choose between multiple languages (for example, English, French, or German). Thereafter, they will receive prompts only in the language they have selected.

Note: When callers encounter the Language Router action, they will be prompted to select a preferred language, irrespective of whether they or the mailbox they are trying to reach have a custom LCOS language. If a user reaches a mailbox number with a custom LCOS language, prompts will be delivered in the mailbox's language. To override this functionality (and have a multilingual system play prompts in the selected language rather than the mailbox language), assign an FCOS with feature bit 51, Do Not Switch Languages for Outside Caller, to the mailbox.

To take advantage of the Language Router action, you must activate the Multilingual Service feature on NuPoint by installing the alternate-language prompt software and configuring a line group with up to five prompt languages.

If the Multilingual Service is not activated, you can still add the Language Router action to a call flow. However, users will not be prompted to select a prompt language. Instead, they will receive prompts in the default language.
