Production-ready Arabic to Indonesian translation API

Real Arabic speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Indonesian while the speaker is still talking.

Arabic (Afro-Asiatic > Semitic > Central Semitic) and Indonesian (Austronesian > Malayo-Polynesian > Malay) come from different language families, so word order and morphology differ. Soniox reorders meaning in-stream instead of word by word.

Arabic is written in Arabic and Indonesian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Indonesian text. Right-to-left output is handled directly in the token stream.

Real-time Arabic to Indonesian translation

Soniox streams the Arabic transcript and the Indonesian translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.
