## What’s Included in a Downloaded Transcript

- A transcript can contain up to 200 conversation entries. A conversation entry is defined as a single block of text that was initiated by a service rep, end user, bot, Service agent, or auto-response.
    - If chatting with a service rep, a conversation entry includes updates about a service rep's status, such as joining or leaving the conversation.
    - If chatting with a Service agent, a conversation entry includes citations. While you can [customize the word Sources in the custom label file](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?language=en_US&id=service.miaw_custom_labels.htm), it still appears in the transcript as Sources.
    - Read receipts and estimated wait time aren't considered conversation entries.
- Enhanced Chat v2 transcripts are text-only.
- All timestamps are in the GMT time zone and can’t be localized.
- These languages aren’t supported: Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Georgian, Gujarati, Kannada, Khmer, Malayalam, Punjabi, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Urdu, Yiddish.
- Unsupported characters are replaced with a “?”.
- Emojis either display in greyscale or text.
