Entities per culture in your LUIS model

Important

LUIS will be retired on October 1st 2025 and starting April 1st 2023 you will not be able to create new LUIS resources. We recommend migrating your LUIS applications to conversational language understanding to benefit from continued product support and multilingual capabilities.

Language Understanding (LUIS) provides prebuilt entities.

Entity resolution

When a prebuilt entity is included in your application, LUIS includes the corresponding entity resolution in the endpoint response. All example utterances are also labeled with the entity.

The behavior of prebuilt entities can't be modified but you can improve resolution by adding the prebuilt entity as a feature to a machine-learning entity or sub-entity.

Availability

Unless otherwise noted, prebuilt entities are available in all LUIS application locales (cultures). The following table shows the prebuilt entities that are supported for each culture.
