Equip’s AI interviews are not limited to English. A conversational interview can run entirely in the language you choose: the AI interviewer speaks, listens, and asks follow-ups in that language. One-way interviews work differently: you control which languages candidates may use in their responses, question by question.

​
Supported Languages

For conversational interviews, the Interview Language setting controls the entire session. The dropdown offers 15 options:
Where a language has regional variants, pick the one closest to your candidate pool. The AI’s speech recognition and voice adapt to the variant you choose, so it matches how your candidates actually speak.
The interview language is a recruiter setting. Candidates do not pick a language themselves in a conversational interview; the AI conducts the session in the language you chose.

Choosing a Language

​
Conversational interviews

1

Open the interview's settings

Go to AI Interviews in your dashboard and click Settings on the conversational interview you want to configure.
2

Find the Interview Language dropdown

On the settings page, locate the Interview Language dropdown.
3

Select a language

Choose from the 15 options listed above. The AI interviewer will speak, understand, and transcribe in that language for every candidate who takes this interview.
If no language is selected, the interview runs in English (US) by default.

​
One-way interviews

One-way interviews use pre-set questions with recorded answers, so there is no live AI voice to configure. Instead, each question in the template editor has its own response languages selector. Use the Search languages field on a question to add one or more languages candidates may answer in. The default response language is English.

​
How the two settings compare

Set the language before inviting candidates, and keep your topics and questions written in that same language. A mismatch between the interview language and the language of your questions can confuse both candidates and the AI.
