Abstract
Described is a technique for establishing an interaction language for a user interface without having to communicate with the user in a default language, which the user may or may not understand. The technique may prompt the user for multiples responses in order to determine a specific language. The responses may include speech input or selecting particular regions on a map. In some implementations, the language may be precise to a particular dialect or variant preferred or spoken by the user. Accordingly, this approach provides an accurate and efficient method of providing a high degree of specificity for language selection without overwhelming the user with an unmanageable list of languages.
