Here's why this is necessary:
* Multiple languages: Many automated systems, like phone menus or websites, cater to users who speak different languages.
* Efficient routing: By pressing 1 for English, you're telling the system to connect you to the English-language version of the service.
* User experience: This allows for a more personalized and efficient user experience, as you're not presented with information in a language you don't understand.
It's a quick and simple way to choose your preferred language and access the service in the way you want.
