--- title: "PUT /bots/{botId}/botversions/{botVersion}/botlocales/" method: PUT path: "/bots/{botId}/botversions/{botVersion}/botlocales/" --- # PUT /bots/{botId}/botversions/{botVersion}/botlocales/ `PUT /bots/{botId}/botversions/{botVersion}/botlocales/` Creates a locale in the bot. The locale contains the intents and slot types that the bot uses in conversations with users in the specified language and locale. You must add a locale to a bot before you can add intents and slot types to the bot. ## Path parameters - `botId` string, required - `botVersion` string, required ## Request body - object - `localeId` string, required — The identifier of the language and locale that the bot will be used in. The string must match one of the supported locales. All of the intents, slot types, and slots used in the bot must have the same locale. For more information, see Supported languages. - `description` string — A description of the bot locale. Use this to help identify the bot locale in lists. - `nluIntentConfidenceThreshold` number, double, required —

Determines the threshold where Amazon Lex will insert the AMAZON.FallbackIntent, AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent, or both when returning alternative intents. AMAZON.FallbackIntent and AMAZON.KendraSearchIntent are only inserted if they are configured for the bot.

For example, suppose a bot is configured with the confidence threshold of 0.80 and the AMAZON.FallbackIntent. Amazon Lex returns three alternative intents with the following confidence scores: IntentA (0.70), IntentB (0.60), IntentC (0.50). The response from the RecognizeText operation would be:

- `voiceSettings` object —

Defines settings for using an Amazon Polly voice to communicate with a user.

Valid values include:

- `engine` 'standard' | 'neural' | 'long-form' | 'generative' —
