# Languages

> The values a transcription or summary language takes: `auto`, `multi`, or a language tag.

A transcription language (`transcription.language` on a policy, `language` on a bot) takes
one of three kinds of value:

| Value | Use it when | What happens |
| - | - | - |
| `auto` | You don't know what will be spoken. | The language is detected from the recording, then the best engine for it is chosen. |
| A tag, e.g. `es` | You know the language. | Detection is skipped. |
| A regional tag | You know the region too, e.g. `pt-BR`. | The variant sets spelling and conventions: `en-GB` against `en-US`. |
| `multi` | The call switches language along the way. | Each stretch is transcribed in the language it was spoken. |

A summary language (`summary.language`, `summary_language`) takes a tag, never `auto` or
`multi`. Left out, the summary is in the transcript's language. A `multi` transcript has no
single language, so set the summary language with it: a workspace or member policy with
`multi` and no `summary.language` is refused with `422`.

A value the API does not take is refused: `422` naming the field on a policy, `400` on a
bot.

## Tags

The languages MeetingKit transcribes. A language on its own (`es`, `fr`, `de`) is accepted
too, as are other regional variants of these languages. Detected transcripts carry the
regional tag, e.g. `es-ES`.
