Configure a Live Translation in Dialogue Studio

This flow will create live audio translations for a conversation. Anything a customer says will be translated and the translation is spoken to the agent and vice versa.

The default configuration after import is that a customer speaks Dutch and the agent speaks English. Change the transcription and translation nodes if you like to changes this. Make sure you create custom voices in the say nodes.

There are some says to guide a customer and agent because the transcriptor needs to be started before the conversation will be translated. Everything can be changed to your desires.

Follow the comments in the flow for information about getting started and how to change the configuration.

After you get it working you can add or change anything you like. For example it is possible to save all texts and translated texts to a database or send chats to an agent with both transcripted texts also. This is just a sample to get you started.

They are interconnected and can all be managed from one central location..
