Production-ready Dutch to Afrikaans translation API
Real Dutch speech includes accents, regional dialects, code switching, and domain-specific vocabulary. Soniox recognizes it in a single model and streams Afrikaans while the speaker is still talking.
Dutch and Afrikaans both belong to the Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Afrikaans output.
Soniox preserves formatting in the translated transcript, including names, numbers, addresses, IDs, and domain-specific terms.
Real-time Dutch to Afrikaans translation
Soniox streams the Dutch transcript and the Afrikaans translation on the same connection, word by word, so meaning lands while the speaker is still talking.

One-way translation
Translate live Dutch into Afrikaans. Everyone in the conversation sees the same translated stream.

Two-way Dutch and Afrikaans conversation
