Does Intercom Fin keep up when a customer switches languages mid-conversation?

Intercom Fin fails to keep replying in the customer's current language when the customer switches languages. It kept the return-policy context, but answered the English follow-up in French in both the default conversation and the retest with the language-match guidance.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above is based on this test case.

Why this result

It had to continue in English after the customer switched languages. The reply stayed in French even though the return-policy details stayed correct, and the same happened after the live language-match guidance was added, so the switch was not handled.

Also observed in this test case

Context preserved. The product kept the return-policy details correct after the language switch, including the longer Plus window versus the standard one.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the test case's result says which one and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the test case's result says what's missing.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.
