Production-ready Indonesian to Arabic translation API

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

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

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

Real-time Indonesian to Arabic translation

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