Copilot Agent Mode

Body

Hello, As a non-english user, I would love to have the possibility to use other models than the english one in the github copilot app for voice dictation.

Today the only model available is an english one. How can we setup another one?

Hi! As far as I know, GitHub Copilot voice dictation currently uses an English-only model, and there doesn’t seem to be a setting to choose another one. It would be great if Copilot supported more languages or let users select the dictation language. Is this something the team is considering?

Use Copilot CLI for now: its default dictation model is multilingual. Run /voice and keep "Download default model", or switch later with /voice models. App docs show no language choice for dictation, so this is a workaround.
