New: Soniox v5 Real-Time is here

Norwegian to Arabic speech translation API

Stream Norwegian (Norsk) speech and get Arabic (العربية) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes no to ar, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by teams building global voice products

Production-ready Norwegian to Arabic translation API

Real Norwegian 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.

Norwegian (Indo-European > Germanic > North Germanic) 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.

Norwegian 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.

Norwegian and Arabic through a single stream

Norwegian to Arabic translation is built on top of Soniox Speech-to-Text API. Every spoken word is transcribed, and Arabic translation streams mid-sentence in the same labeled token stream.

Turn it on by adding a translation block with source_language: "no" and target_language: "ar". It runs on the same WebSocket and the same model, with no extra round trip.
