# Language

Language configuration determines how your virtual being communicates across different channels. Each profile needs a default language setting that will be used as a fallback language for any speech recognition action.

{% hint style="warning" %}
All selected languages must be available and compatible with your configured STT engine. Make sure you select matching languages to ensure smooth interactions. If necessary, refer to the documentation of the selected STT provider. If at this point you haven't configured at least one STT engine, read more in [Configurations](/dashboard-management/configurations.md).
