Digital signage in Arabic, Swahili and 32 more languages
Every screen speaks your guests' language.
Put notices, welcomes and live polls on your venue's TVs in Arabic for Abu Dhabi and the UAE, in Swahili, Amharic, Hausa, Yoruba and more across Africa, or in English beside them. Arabic reads right to left on the TV, polls included.
Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the UAE
Arabic first, English beside it
Wedding halls, hotels and clinics in the Emirates usually need both languages on one screen. Type the Arabic line and the English line in the same notice, and the TV sets each one in its own direction.
- Arabic notices are set right to left, with Arabic and English on the same slide.
- Live polls in Arabic lay out right to left: the question and answers read from the right, and the QR code moves to the left.
- Persian and Filipino are in the list too, for the UAE's big expat communities, along with Urdu, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil.
- Schedules follow your venue's time zone, such as Asia/Dubai.

African languages, in their own scripts
Swahili for East Africa, Amharic in Ge'ez script for Ethiopia, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo for Nigeria, Somali, Zulu and Afrikaans, plus French and Portuguese. Yoruba tone marks come out as typed.
Polls and song requests in Swahili
Ask the room which song plays first, or run a quiz. Guests vote from a QR code in their phone's browser, with no app, and the bars move on the TV within seconds.

What isn't translated yet
Everything you write appears in your language. A few of our own labels don't yet:
- The phone app and web app menus are in English.
- On the TV, the small "Live poll" and "Scan to vote" labels are in English.
- The guest vote page shows your question and answers in your language, with its instructions in English.
- Very old TV sticks can lack fonts for Amharic. Try a notice on your own TV before the event.
