The country’s third-largest broadband company, Vocus, plans to begin offering customer support in Māori from November.

 

Māori-language support will be offered as an option to customers of its Slingshot internet brand when they call its 0800 number or initiate a web-chat session.

 

Vocus is advertising for three call centre agents fluent in Māori to provide the service.

Excellent. The Slingshot web page now has a full Te-Reo Maori version and English.





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Good on them.

 

When I studied Te Reo at high school I was amused by the words that had come over from English like truck (taraka) and nuclear bomb (nukirea poma) so I can't wait to see the word for modem. I imagine there'll be a Maori word for fibre but what about WiFi?





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21
