Which languages does Miskio translate?
Miskio understands three spoken languages - Turkish, Arabic and Albanian - and shows the khutbah in German, English or Arabic. The spoken language is set for each mosque, the output language is chosen by the mosque before each khutbah. If the imam switches language in the middle of the sermon, the translation follows automatically.

Which language pairs are there?
Each of the three spoken languages can be shown in each of the three output languages. The pages on the individual languages go into what is special about each language of the sermon.
| Spoken | Output | Special feature | More |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turkish | German, English, Arabic | Arabic recitations in the middle of the sermon are recognised. | Turkish khutbah |
| Arabic | German, English, Arabic | With Arabic output the wall shows the recognised text as live text, without translation. | Arabic khutbah |
| Albanian | German, English, Arabic | The help pages also exist in Albanian. | Albanian khutbah |
How does the language switch in the middle of the khutbah work?
Many khutbahs change language along the way: a Turkish sermon moves into Arabic for a surah and comes back. Miskio detects the switch automatically, nobody has to change anything. With German output, recognised Qur’an verses do not appear as machine text but in the translation by Bubenheim & Elyas.
Who chooses the language - and when?
The spoken language is saved as a setting of your mosque and applies to every session. The mosque chooses the output language before each start; after that it cannot be changed, because it belongs to the running recording. From the Pro plan, every person can also switch between German, English and Arabic on their own phone (how it works).
And if our mosque preaches in another language?
Then write to us at team@miskio.de. Turkish, Arabic and Albanian are the languages Miskio is built for; we collect further requests. For every language: during setup we test the recognition together with you, with a real sermon by your imam, before it counts.
