The Portuguese boss was labelled as a translator by former France coach Raymond Domenech, but Jose Mourinho insists that the title is offensive and thinks it is undermining the people who do the job professionally – adding that being able to speak different languages does help him.
"I think because I can speak five languages, it doesn't make me a translator," he told Sports Illustrated.
"Don't call me a translator because that would be an offence to every translator.
"But it helps me, the fact that I can communicate."
'The Special One' spoke about his first managerial job, where he was assistant to Sir Bobby Robson at Barcelona, and insists he was a good help to his then former boss, and said it gives him an advantage as far as instructions to the players is concerned.
"I was just trying to help my boss - the manager at that time - to communicate the best way with the players and the media," he added.
"Even today with a Scottish coach by my side, I was communicating with Azpilicueta in Spanish, with Fabregas in Catalan, with Oscar in Portuguese and I suppose that he couldn't understand a word of what I was saying to the pitch."
The 52-year-old, who has coached in Italy, Portugal, Spain and England, is one of the most controversial coaches in world football.
His Chelsea team are currently five points clear of Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League, with just 12 games to go until the end of the season. They are also still in the Champions League, and play Tottenham in the Capitol One Cup final on Sunday.
