Welsh to Afrikaans speech translation API

Stream Welsh (Cymraeg) speech and get Afrikaans (Afrikaans) back in real time. One WebSocket, ISO codes cy to af, and ultra-low latency for voice agents and live apps.

Trusted by

Production-ready Welsh to Afrikaans translation API

Real Welsh 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.

Welsh (Indo-European > Celtic > Brittonic) and Afrikaans (Indo-European > Germanic > West Germanic) 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.
