That's cos they only cover the most common languages.

You can't expect then to cater for all the unusual and obscure ones

Wow, I didn’t think there was enough Filipinos or Persians here to justify their languages.

There is in the NHS.

Well in which case it would be useful if they could read English rather than guess what the medications are meant to be.

Had the experience of trying to explain my friend's ear problem to a Chinese intern. I think she had to write it 3 times before she got it right.

Doctor told her to give my friend 400 ml antibiotic in drip. She said we only have 200s. OK then give her two.
When the 200 ran out I called her and told her.
She answers - he said to give 200.
I sent her back to doctor.........

The consultant in the ward said 'only 400'

They didn’t want to admit her at first.
Then day or 2 later in the ward they said
'Weren't you lucky you came in'
She could have lost hearing.

What's worse really is the fact that the intern asked the question in the first place.
Give her 400 - (then I must use two packs) don't need a degree to work that out.
