# Multi-Language

> Run AI conversations in 50+ languages with automatic detection and translation.

Waterr Meet supports conversations in over 50 languages. The AI can speak, understand, and evaluate participants in their preferred language.

## How it works

The AI automatically detects the participant's language from their speech and responds in the same language. No configuration required -- it just works.

### Supported capabilities

* **Speech recognition** in 50+ languages
* **AI responses** generated natively in the target language (not translated)
* **Goal evaluation** that understands language-specific nuances
* **Transcripts** in the original language with optional translation

## Writing multilingual scripts

Your [meeting script](/customization/meeting-script) can be written in English even for non-English scenarios. The AI translates the instructions internally.

For best results with non-English scenarios:

<Tip>
  Write key phrases, greetings, and domain-specific terms in the target language within your script. This ensures the AI uses the correct terminology rather than translating from English.
