## What is the language of my robot

Pepper usually has several languages installed. For further details, see: Getting the list of installed languages.

He can easily switch from one language to another. For further details, see: Temporarily switching to another language.

### Fallback language

English is his fallback language.

It means that if for any technical reason he is not able to find a word or a sentence in the current language, Pepper will automatically switch to English.

### Preferred Language

You can define a language as his preferred or configured language.

For further details, see: Modifying the preferred language.

## Modifying the preferred language

To modify the configured language:

--- | ---
| Touch the tablet.

## Getting the list of installed languages

To get the list of installed languages, you may:

- Ask Pepper.

  For further details, see: Information about settings and system.

- Check the list available in his settings.

## Temporarily switching to another language

Pepper may temporarily switch to another language:

- if an application requests it, or
- on your request. For further details, see: Modifying Language & sound settings.

In both cases this switch is not permanent:

Pepper will switch back to the language defined in his settings as soon as the application ends or you stop chatting with Pepper.
