Language collections

Definition

Collections of languages, developed for a specific purpose.

Description

The language collections are developed and managed by the editorial team at the Jobtech unit at Arbetsförmedlingen.

A language collection is represented in the Taxonomy as a concept relating to a number of language concepts.

Interpreter language

The Interpreter language collection is a collection of languages that the Arbetsföremdlingen can order interpretation for, and contains a subset of all languages in Taxonomy.

The collection is developed by Arbetsförmedlingen, together with an organisation delivering interpretation services.

Governance

The list of interpretation languages may be updated if an agreement is made with the interpretation providers contracted to Arbetsförmedlingen about adding additional languages.
