Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Catalan to French translation API

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

Catalan and French both belong to the Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated French output.

Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.

Add a translation block to your real-time request with source_language "ca" and target_language "fr". Soniox transcribes Catalan and streams the French translation over the same WebSocket.

That direction is supported too. See the French to Catalan page, or use two-way translation to run both directions in one session.
Catalan and French are both Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance — does that affect quality?
Shared family structure and cognates generally help. Soniox uses the same model for every pair, so quality stays consistent whether the languages are closely related or not.

Yes. Soniox handles Catalan dialects like Central Catalan, Valencian, and Balearic in a single model, so French translation stays accurate across regions.
