AI Master Translator

Overview

In today’s global enterprises, data is often centralized in a single language, most commonly English, while users, teams, and clients operate across diverse linguistic regions. This creates a significant challenge: users in non-English-speaking countries struggle to interact effectively with applications, reports, and records that are not available in their native language. Translating and storing data in multiple languages is complex, costly, and nearly impossible to maintain with consistency.

The Solution solves this by enabling seamless multilingual interaction between users and enterprise data within Appian applications. The AI Skill allows users to enter queries, commands, or prompts in any language of their choice. It automatically detects the input language, translates the query into the source data language (e.g., English), executes it against the connected data source and then translates the response back into the user's language, maintaining full context and business meaning.

Example Scenario: A global bank uses an Appian-based CRM application where all customer data resides in English. A French relationship manager wants to retrieve loan details by typing, "Montrez-moi les prêts approuvés pour le mois dernier." (Show me the approved loans for last month.) The AI Skill translates this query to English, fetches the relevant data, and returns the response in French. No additional data replication or localization is needed, the user experiences a fully localized interaction while the system remains standardized.

Functional Benefits:

  • Eliminates the need to store or maintain multi-language datasets.
  • Enables real-time multilingual interaction across applications, forms, reports, and portals.
  • Increases adoption of enterprise solutions across regions by allowing users to work naturally in their preferred language.
  • Reduces dependency on translators and localization teams.
