How to Change the Language of Studio Outputs

Changing language of outputs in Memo

Written By Jason From Memo

Last updated 16 days ago

Your output language is shared across Studio and Copilot Chat. When you change it in one place, it becomes your active language everywhere.

What this affects

This language setting is used for Studio outputs, including:

  • Flashcards

  • Notes

  • Mind Map

  • Track

  • Tutor

  • Podcast

  • Infographic

  • Practice Tests

  • Chat responses

Option 1: Change language from a Studio customize modal (pencil icon)

Use this when generating Flashcards, Notes, Practice Test, Mind Map, Track, Infographic, or Podcast.

  1. Open your deck in Studio.

  2. Click the pencil (Customize) icon on an output tile.

  3. Find Output Language.

  4. Select your language (or keep Auto).

  5. Generate your output.

Important:

  • The change is applied globally as soon as you select it (not only after clicking Generate).

  • Auto means Memo will follow the source language.

Option 2: Change language from Copilot Chat

You can set the same shared language from Copilot Chat.

  1. Open Copilot Chat.

  2. If the language dropdown is visible, select it directly.

  3. On compact/mobile layouts, tap + and choose language there.

This updates the same global output language used by Studio.

Option 3: Change language from Settings (global default)

  1. Go to Settings → Configuration → General.

  2. Change Language.

  3. Click Save.

This updates your universal default language for Studio and Copilot.

Tutor-specific note

  • Tutor uses the same global language as the starting language.

  • The Tutor customize modal does not currently include an Output Language field.

  • Inside voice Tutor, users can change language in-session from the Tutor top bar. That in-session selection is session-level and does not currently write back to the global output-language setting.

FAQ

Does changing language translate existing outputs automatically?
No. Existing generated outputs stay as-is. Regenerate to get content in the new language.

Which setting wins if multiple values exist?
Memo resolves language in this order: explicit request language, then saved Settings language, then Auto.
