Multi-Language Support
TalkingSchema understands and responds in 80+ languages. You can describe your data model, ask questions about your schema, and receive explanations — all in your native language. The AI copilot works the same way regardless of which language you use.
How it works
The AI copilot reads your prompt in whatever language you write it in. You do not need to configure a language setting — just write naturally in your preferred language and TalkingSchema adapts.
This applies to:
- Describing new schemas from scratch
- Adding or modifying tables and fields
- Asking the AI to explain your current schema
- Designing star schemas, snowflake schemas, and dimensional models
- Generating documentation from your model
- Importing schemas via natural language description

Prompting tips for non-English languages
1. Write your full requirement in one language
Mixing languages in a single prompt can confuse the AI. Keep each message consistently in one language:
✅ "Necesito una tabla de usuarios con campos para nombre, correo electrónico y fecha de registro."
⚠️ "I need a tabla de usuarios with nombre and email fields."
2. Request English identifiers explicitly if needed
If your team uses English for SQL identifiers but you prefer to describe requirements in another language, ask for it explicitly:
"Usa identificadores en inglés para las tablas y columnas, pero respóndeme en español."
(Use English identifiers for tables and columns, but reply to me in Spanish.)
3. Specify naming conventions in your language
"Utilise le snake_case pour tous les noms de colonnes et tables."
(Use snake_case for all column and table names.)
4. Ask for explanations in your language
"Erkläre mir die Beziehung zwischen den Tabellen Bestellungen und Kunden."
(Explain the relationship between the Orders and Customers tables.)
Prompts for TalkingSchema
Copy these prompts to get started in your language:
Spanish — supplier carbon tracking:
Diseña un sistema de seguimiento de emisiones de carbono para nuestra cadena de
suministro global. Necesito tablas para proveedores con nivel de carbono (A/B/C/D),
productos con puntuación de intensidad de carbono, órdenes de compra y créditos
de compensación de CO2.
French — supply chain platform:
Génère un modèle de données pour une plateforme de gestion de la chaîne
d'approvisionnement mondiale avec des tables pour les fournisseurs, les produits
avec score d'intensité carbone, les entrepôts, les bons de commande et le suivi
des expéditions.
German — supply chain system:
Entwirf ein Datenbankschema für ein globales Lieferkettensystem mit Lieferanten,
Produkten mit CO2-Intensitätswert, Lagern, Bestellungen und Sendungsverfolgung.
Verwende snake_case für alle Bezeichner.
Japanese — supply chain management:
グローバルサプライチェーン管理システムのスキーマを作成してください。
サプライヤー（カーボンティアA/B/C/D付き）、製品、倉庫、発注書、出荷追跡のテーブルが必要です。
Portuguese — sustainable supply chain:
Crie um esquema de banco de dados para um sistema de cadeia de fornecimento

pontuação de intensidade de carbono, armazéns, ordens de compra e créditos
de compensação de CO2.

Frequently asked questions
Can I switch languages mid-conversation?
Yes. You can switch languages between messages in the same thread. The AI will respond in the language of your most recent message. Your schema itself is unchanged by the language switch.
Are table and column names translated?
By default, table and column names follow the language of your prompt. If you prompt in Japanese, the AI may use Japanese identifiers. To enforce English identifiers, add a note like: "Use English names for all tables and columns."
Does the AI understand domain terminology in other languages?
Yes. The AI understands database and data modeling terminology in all supported languages — for example, "clave primaria" (Spanish), "Primärschlüssel" (German), "clé primaire" (French), "主キー" (Japanese), "主键" (Chinese), "기본 키" (Korean) — and maps it correctly to the appropriate SQL constructs.
Will my language preference affect export quality?
No. All exports — SQL DDL, DBML, JSON, PNG — are generated from the schema structure itself, which is language-agnostic. The export output is always valid regardless of which language you used to describe the schema.
Is there a way to set a default language for my workspace?
Not as a workspace setting currently. However, you can add a language instruction to every prompt by including it in your AI preferences, e.g., "Always respond in French."
