Add Support for Language Dialect Consistency in Conversations #3368

Closed

Description

@salvacarrion

Hello,

I’m reaching out to propose a new feature that I believe would enhance the user experience.

Issue

Currently, when selecting a language, the system does not differentiate between language variants. For instance, when Spanish is selected, dialogues are mixed between European Spanish (Spain) and Latin American Spanish. Similarly, with Catalan, where there is a mix of dialects (Catalan, Valencia, Balearic), and with Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal). This occasionally results in sentences and phrases that, while technically correct, can be perceived as "off" or "weird" by native speakers. I presume this happens with many other languages as well.

Proposed Solution

I would like to suggest adding a more granular control over the language setting so that we can choose a specific variant (e.g. European Spanish, Mexican Spanish, etc.) for each language. Ideally, once a variant is chosen, the conversation thread should maintain consistency in the use of that variant throughout.

Suggested Implementation:

  • Include a dropdown or a set of options under the language selection for users to choose the desired variant.
  • Store the language variant selection and use it to keep the conversation thread consistent.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Readability: Ensuring consistency in language variants makes the conversation more readable and relatable for native speakers.
  • Greater Precision: Some dialects have unique expressions or terminology. Maintaining consistency in language variants allows for more precise communication.
  • Cultural Sensitivity: Respecting and utilizing the correct language variant reflects cultural awareness and sensitivity.
