Quick answer
Queue systems announce each ticket number and counter through speakers, and many support more than one language. In Kenya, English and Swahili calling helps customers of all backgrounds follow the queue. Good results depend on voice quality, speaker placement, volume matched to the room's noise and a screen that shows the same information.
