# Guide: Assistants and Chat

Part of the HebrewCore documentation. Web: https://hc.itsbaba.com/docs#guide-assistants · Whole docs: https://hc.itsbaba.com/docs.md · Index: https://hc.itsbaba.com/llms.txt

For an assistant that answers in Hebrew or Russian, detect the user's language with `/v1/detect`, generate the answer in your usual language, and translate it with protected translation at `quality: "fast"`. Set `speaker_gender` for the assistant's voice and `listener_gender` for the user, and pass the names, products and amounts from your data as `protected_terms`. When a sentence comes back with `status: "fallback"`, show it in the source language or ask the user to rephrase; never retranslate it without the checks.
