Step 2: Add Language Selection to Your App

  1. Head over to the Screens tab and add a new screen for language selection.
  2. Drag and drop buttons or lists onto this screen to represent the languages available (like English, Spanish, French).
  3. Create a database collection called "Languages" to store language options and their corresponding identifiers.

Step 3: Configure Language Settings in the Database

  1. Add a new collection named "Languages" in the Database section.
  2. Include fields for "Language Name" and "Language Code" (e.g., "EN" for English, "ES" for Spanish).
  3. Fill up the collection with the languages and codes.

Step 4: Define User's Language Preference

  1. Add a field in the Users collection to store the selected language, like "Selected Language".
  2. Modify the language selection buttons to update the "Selected Language" field in the user's record when clicked.

Step 5: Integrate the Chatbot

  1. Create a screen for your chatbot interface.
  2. Add a text input for user messages and a list for displaying chat messages.
  3. Use a third-party chatbot service that supports multilingual capabilities. Embed the chatbot iframe or use API requests to communicate with the chatbot.

Step 6: Handle Messages Based on Language

  1. When a user sends a message, check the "Selected Language" field of the current user.
  2. Send the message to the chatbot API, including the language parameter based on the user's selection.
  3. Display the chatbot's response in the appropriate language format.

Step 7: Customize Chatbot Responses

  1. Go to the chatbot service's dashboard and create multilingual responses for each intent.
  2. Make sure the responses are correctly mapped to the corresponding language codes.
  3. Update the chatbot integration in Adalo to fetch and display these responses dynamically.

Step 8: Test Your Multilingual Chatbot

  1. Preview your app and go through the language selection process.
  2. Test sending messages in different languages and verify the chatbot's responses.
  3. Make adjustments as necessary to ensure smooth multilingual interactions.

Step 9: Publish Your App

  1. Once you're happy with the functionality, navigate to the app settings.
  2. Follow the steps to publish your app on the desired platform (App Store, Google Play, Web).
  3. Monitor user feedback and make iterative improvements based on interactions.

This process lets you create a functional multilingual chatbot in Adalo, ensuring effective user engagement regardless of their language preference.
