If NLU is enabled on your instance, you can also view model mappings for each language.\n\nSome features on the Languages tab require the appropriate localization roles.

You can also map your entities and test the translated topic here.\n\n**Note:** Unless you're using legacy, single-language models, all secondary languages in a topic must be mapped to the same model group. In most cases, changing the mapping for one secondary language will change the mappings for all secondary languages in the topic.
