Bilingual Meeting Invitation Template for MS Teams

−

~~There~~ are ~~2 main types~~ of ~~French spoken in Canada~~: ~~Laurentian French and Acadian~~ French.

+

The Official Languages Centre of Excellence consulted with TBS’ internal IT services team to find a solution to an issue that has been identified in many federal departments: unilingual automatically generated meeting coordinates from MS Teams. Meeting invitations in MS Teams are generated in the language of the user’s interface: either English or French.

−

~~Canadian French contributed to the creation of~~ a ~~unique language: Michif. The Métis people developed this language~~, ~~which combines features from French~~ and ~~Indigenous~~ languages, ~~primarily Cree~~. ~~Michif is unusual in that~~ the ~~nouns are generally derived from French~~ and ~~the verbs are derived,~~ for ~~the most part, from Cree~~.

+

As a best practice, and depending on your department’s region and status, often as an obligation, meeting invitations should be sent in both official languages, simultaneously.

+

+

You can create a bilingual MS Teams meeting invitation with this template!
