Production-ready Chinese to Indonesian translation API

Real Chinese 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.

Chinese (Sino-Tibetan > Sinitic) 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.

Chinese is written in CJK and Indonesian in Latin, so Soniox emits correctly scripted Indonesian text.

Real-time Chinese to Indonesian translation

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