In Candidate mode, CoPilot Interview's 🌐 Language list has 58 entries, 51 languages plus 7 specialist variants, and that one setting controls both the live captions and the language of the answers. Mock Interview and Interviewer / HR mode support 10 languages. The app's own buttons and menus are in English only.
How to set the language
- Before you start, open the tab you will use. Candidate mode has 🌐 Language; Mock Interview and Interviewer / HR each have 🌐 Lang.
- Choose the language the interview will be held in, not necessarily your first language.
- Start the session. Captions and answers both use that language.
- Next time you open the app, each tab remembers the language you last picked for it.
Candidate mode: all 58 entries
The 51 languages: English, Arabic, Bashkir, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Mandarin, Marathi, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese and Welsh.
The 7 variants: Danish - Medical, Dutch - Medical, English - Financial, English - Medical, English / Malay, Portuguese - Medical and Spanish - Medical. In current versions (1.3.20 or later) each variant uses the same speech recognition and answer language as its base language, and English / Malay works as English, so pick the base language if you're unsure.
Mock Interview and Interviewer / HR: 10 languages
English, Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese and Spanish. The website's "50+ languages" applies to Candidate mode only. The mock interview guide and Interviewer Mode cover those modes.
How captions and answers follow the setting
- Speech recognition is told to expect the language you picked. If it is set to English and the interviewer speaks Spanish, the captions can come out translated into English, and the answers follow them, so set the language before you start.
- Answers are written entirely in that language. Code, commands and technical names stay as they are.
- Simple Language follows the same setting, so plain-words answers come in your chosen language.
- The app passes speech recognition a short list of common technical terms, including ones found in your job description and résumé, so words like "thread" or "cache" are less likely to be misheard.
- Current versions (1.3.20 or later) include fixes for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Arabic and Russian captions.
If the interviewer speaks a different language
Early in a session, the app checks the language it actually hears. If it hears a different one twice, it shows: "The interviewer seems to be speaking X. Captions and answers are set to Y. Switch to X?" Click Switch to X and captions and answers change at once, and the app re-reads the audio it still has in the new language.
It never switches by itself, and it doesn't ask again in that session once you dismiss it. There is no other language control on the session screen, so to change languages otherwise, click End and pick a new one on the setup screen.

Troubleshooting
- Answers come in English though you chose French: each tab has its own language setting. Check the one on the tab you actually started from.
- Captions look like a translation of what was said: the language setting doesn't match the speaker. Use the Switch notice, or end and set the right language.
- Technical terms keep being misheard: paste the job description, which adds its technical terms to the spelling hints.
Practice in your language
CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac. Before an interview in a second language, run a free AI mock interview in that language: it reads each question aloud and scores your spoken answer out of 10. Interviewing in other languages has more on preparing for a bilingual round, and the AI mock interview page shows how scoring works.
