Enabling multi-language support

To enable support for languages other than English, set the environment variable TEXTUAL_MULTI_LINGUAL=true.

The setting is used by the machine learning container.

Providing the language model assets

For the languages to add, you must provide the language model assets for Textual to use.

By default, Textual looks for model assets in the machine learning container, in /usr/bin/textual/language_models. The default Helm and Docker Compose configurations include the volume mount.

To choose a different location, set the environment variable TEXTUAL_LANGUAGE_MODEL_DIRECTORY. Note that if change the location, you must also modify your volume mounts.

For help with installing model assets, contact Tonic.ai support ([e-mail]).
