Try another name or code. Your MigiHub service catalogue can include languages beyond this selection.
This is a reference selection, not a complete world census. Names can include individual languages, varieties and broader labels. Some reference names remain in their registry form. Verify the terminology preferred by the person requesting the service.
An Arabic service request often needs more detail than a broad language label. The language registry distinguishes Arabic from labels such as Modern Standard Arabic, Moroccan Arabic and Egyptian Arabic. Confirm the variety relevant to the person and the assignment.
Read the booking guideSpoken languagecmnMandarin Chinese has its own language identifier. A booking labelled only “Chinese” can leave the spoken-language requirement unclear. Treat the spoken language, the language pair and any written-script requirements as separate intake decisions.
Read the booking guideSpoken languageyueCantonese is commonly associated with the Yue Chinese reference label. In service intake, use a name the customer recognizes and preserve the underlying language distinction. A broad Chinese label should not automatically route a Cantonese request to a Mandarin interpreter.
Read the booking guideSpoken languageesSpanish services can span different customer locations and regional preferences. The language name alone does not capture the appointment’s timezone, domain, delivery mode or the consumer’s preferred terminology. Those details belong in a structured booking brief.
Read the booking guideSpoken languagefrFrench-language services and a French app interface are separate choices. Agencies may also need to record a Canadian-French or France-related preference for a particular customer, document or assignment without changing the language of the coordinator’s workspace.
Read the booking guideSpoken languageptPortuguese is a service language for both interpreting and translation workflows. When a customer needs a Brazil- or Portugal-related preference, make that requirement explicit. Regional labels help describe the brief; they should not be used to infer an interpreter’s qualifications from nationality.
Read the booking guideConfigure the spoken and sign-language services your business offers, including the names and varieties your customers need. Those configured choices can be available to consumers during booking. Your catalogue can include languages beyond this reference selection.
Display languages help your team use the app in its own language. They do not define which interpreting services your agency offers. Local and automatic timezone options support teams working across locations.
Explore software for your language-service agency: consumer requests, interpreter scheduling, client records, time and finance in one connected platform.
MigiHub provides software for organizations that deliver language services. Interpreter availability, language coverage and service delivery are defined by each organization.
