For a list of supported call analysis languages for outbound campaigns, see Supported call analysis regions.

Note: Genesys Cloud uses a single female voice for each language. Genesys Cloud does not currently support multiple genders or multiple voice characters for TTS.

*Notes:
  • Genesys legacy TTS and ASR only: Due to language model size, when you enable the Japanese language, then you cannot use any other language than English. To request Japanese language support for your organization, contact Genesys Cloud Product Support. This limitation does not affect Genesys enhanced TTS.
  • Support for Thai is limited.
  • For more information about enabling beta languages, contact Product Support.

Keep in mind the following:

  • Genesys Cloud's IVR system audio files are contained in a library of provided prompts that you can use "out of the box" or updated by the flow author. These prompts cover standard sets of data, including dates, monetary, numbers, ordinals, and some phrases used by features for error handling (speech recognition errors). 
  • Analytics and keyword spotting are not currently available in Genesys Cloud.

Sublocale support

Genesys Cloud supports specific dialects with ASR and TTS for spoken words. However for written words, all varieties of a specified language, such as US and British English, use the same UI localization. Currently, the default standard is the US format (for example, DD/MM/YYYY and 12-hour clock), but future releases will include support for various date-time formats and "start of week" settings applicable to various sub regions.

Workforce management agents

Genesys Cloud supports sublocale, where the language setting, along with your browser’s preferred locale setting, determines the format that interfaces use to display dates. For example, the date, time, and language setting with Genesys Cloud set to English and a browser configuration for English (United Kingdom) displays date and time in the format dd/mm/yyyy format. Similarly, for English language and browser configuration for English (United States) displays in the format mm/dd/yyyy. If your browser language setting does not match or is not a sublocale of your Genesys Cloud language setting, the dates appear according to the Genesys Cloud setting.
