Production-ready English to Dutch translation API

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

English and Dutch both belong to the Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic family, so cognates and shared structure carry over cleanly into the translated Dutch output.

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

Real-time English to Dutch translation

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

Frequently asked questions

How do I translate English to Dutch with the API?
Add a translation block to your real-time request with source_language "en" and target_language "nl". Soniox transcribes English and streams the Dutch translation over the same WebSocket.
Is English to Dutch translation real-time?
Yes. Soniox streams Dutch while English is still being spoken, so meaning arrives mid-sentence instead of after the sentence ends.
What about translating Dutch to English?
That direction is supported too. See the Dutch to English page, or use two-way translation to run both directions in one session.
English and Dutch are both Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic — 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.
Does Soniox handle English dialects and accents?
Yes. Soniox handles English dialects like American English, British English, and Australian English in a single model, so Dutch translation stays accurate across regions.
Which other providers support English to Dutch?
Based on their public docs, OpenAI, Google, Azure, and Speechmatics list both English and Dutch for real-time translation. Soniox is the only one that also supports two-way live translation across 60+ languages.
How fast is English to Dutch translation?
Soniox streams Dutch as English is being spoken, with ultra-low latency. Translation arrives before the sentence ends.
