Copilot - Use generative AI with German

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by MateuszWojcik

Hello,

In July, I created a copilot with German as the primary language.

In the section "How should your copilot interact with people," I selected "Generative." I uploaded files in German to the knowledge base and conducted some tests. The client was happy with the results.

Recently, I opened the copilot studio and noticed that the Generative option is only available for the English language.

1. Do you know when and why this option was turned off for languages other than English?

2. My clients expect Copilot to work on German documents and interact in German as well. Is there any alternative?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

For questions you asked

1. Do you know when and why this option was turned off for languages other than English?
For languages other than English, Generative AI is turned off because of the AI's model powers and the difficulty of supporting multiple languages. When making recent changes, Microsoft chose to focus on English.

2. My clients expect Copilot to work on German documents and interact in German as well. Is there any alternative?
Yes, here are some other options you can look into to meet your client's needs, use Azure OpenAI, Bing custom search or you can also switch back to Copilot Studio's Classic Mode

Hi MateuszWojcik ,

I have also gone through the same.

If we need to use Generative AI, then we can only use English. Is is forcing us to remove the other languages if added.

So the only way is to Design the topics with proper needed Prompts and make it work.

Thanks.
