Portuguese to Malay speech translation API

Stream Portuguese (Português) speech and get Malay (Bahasa Melayu) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes pt to ms, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Portuguese to Malay translation API

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

Portuguese (Indo-European > Romance > Western Romance) and Malay (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.

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

Portuguese and Malay through a single stream

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

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