# Supported Languages for Squire SDK Integration

> Reference for input and output language codes used in Squire SDK. Configure spoken language detection and report generation language for EHR consultations.

Squire supports multilingual consultations out of the box, letting you configure both the language spoken during a consultation and the language in which the report is generated. Pass language codes when initializing the SDK and when starting a recording to control this behavior.

## Input languages

The `inputLanguage` parameter passed to `startRecording()` defines the spoken language Squire listens for during a consultation. Use `auto` to let Squire detect the language automatically, or pass a specific code for more consistent results.

| Language    | Code   |
| ----------- | ------ |
| Auto-detect | `auto` |
| Dutch       | `nl`   |
| English     | `en`   |
| French      | `fr`   |
| German      | `de`   |

<Tip>
  For shorter consultations, pass the specific language code instead of `auto`. Auto-detection works best when there is enough spoken audio to identify the language reliably — using an explicit code improves accuracy when consultation length is unpredictable.
</Tip>

## Output languages

The `outputLanguage` parameter passed to `new Squire({ outputLanguage })` defines the language in which Squire generates the clinical report. This is independent of the input language, so you can transcribe a Dutch consultation and produce an English report.

| Language | Code |
| -------- | ---- |
| Dutch    | `nl` |
| English  | `en` |
| French   | `fr` |
| German   | `de` |

## Usage example

The following example initializes the SDK with English as the report language and starts a recording with French as the spoken language.

```javascript theme={null}
import Squire from '@squirehealth/sdk';

const squire = new Squire({
  outputLanguage: 'en',
});

await squire.startRecording({
  inputLanguage: 'fr',
});
```

## Widget locale

When using the Squire widget, set the `locale` option in the widget configuration to match the desired interface and output language. Use the same language codes listed in the output languages table above.
