Not every customer who calls your business speaks English, and the ones who don’t are usually the quickest to hang up. They hear a greeting they can’t follow, decide they’ve got the wrong place, and call someone else.
Clara supports caller conversations in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and French. The Clara app interface is available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Chinese. New call summaries can use the language you choose in the app.
Five languages for caller conversations
Clara can talk with callers in:
- English
- Spanish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Chinese
- French
Clara can still find out who is calling and why, take the details you’ve asked for, and send you the notes when the call ends. Caller language is separate from the language you use to manage Clara in the app.
Your greeting, in the language you choose
If you already know most of your callers speak one language, you don’t have to wait for Clara to work it out.
You can write your greeting in one of Clara’s supported caller languages. That lets callers hear the language you choose from the start of the call.
The app now runs in five languages
The last piece is Clara itself. You can now run the app in:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- Portuguese
- Chinese
To change it, open the Business tab (bottom right), then App preferences, then App language. Pick your language and the app switches immediately.
There’s a second thing that changes at the same time, and it’s the one most people notice: from that point on, Clara writes your call summaries in your new language too. So if you switch the app to Spanish, you can read the call summary in Spanish, whatever language the caller spoke.
Why it matters
Answering the phone is more useful when callers and business owners can use the languages that work for them. Clara keeps caller conversations, the owner interface, and call-summary language distinct so each part of the experience is clear.

Preguntas frecuentes
What languages can Clara speak to callers in?
Clara supports caller conversations in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and French.
Is caller language the same as the Clara app language?
No. Caller language controls the conversation callers have with Clara. App language controls the menus, buttons, settings, and language used for new call summaries.
Can I change the language of my greeting?
Yes. You can write your greeting in one of Clara's supported caller languages so callers hear that language from the start.
Can I change the language of the Clara app itself?
Yes. Go to the Business tab (bottom right), then App preferences, then App language. You can choose English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, or Chinese. The app switches straight away, and new calls are summarized in that language too.
Are my call summaries translated as well?
New calls are. Once you change your app language, every call summary Clara writes from that point on comes through in your new language. Summaries written before the change stay as they were.
