Multilingual-RAG is an innovative question-answering system with multilingual capabilities, capable of understanding and generating responses in multiple languages. It is built upon the powerful architecture of Large Language Models (LLMs) with Retrieve-And-Generate (RAG) capabilities. This application harnesses the capabilities of Cohere's multilingual embeddings, LanceDB vector store, LangChain for question answering, and Argos Translate for seamless translation between languages. The user interface is provided by Gradio, ensuring a smooth and interactive user experience.

Multilingual RAG is designed to support over 100 languages. The specific list of supported languages depends on the capabilities of the Cohere multilingual model and Argos Translate. By default, it includes support for English, Hindi, French, and Turkish languages. Additional languages can be added to suit your use case.
