How to translate my transcription ?

Gladia lets you translate your transcriptions (and subtitles, if enabled) into one or more languages. To enable translation, add translation=true to your configuration. This will generate translations of your transcription alongside the original transcription.

Customize my translation

You can go further by using the translation_config object:

"translation": false, "translation_config": { "target_languages": [ "en" ], "model": "base", "match_original_utterances": true, "lipsync": true, "context_adaptation": true, "context": "<string>", "informal": false }
  • target_languages → list of language codes to translate into.

  • model → choose between:

    • "base" → faster, good for most cases

    • "enhanced" → slower, but higher quality and context-aware

  • match_original_utterances (default: true) → keep translations aligned with original speech segments (great for subtitles).

  • lipsync (default: true) → optimize translations for dubbing & visual lip sync.

  • context_adaptation (default: true) → enable smarter translations with context.

    • Add context for domain-specific accuracy (e.g. medical consultation). Eg: “don’t translate technical termes”, “translate in a formal manner”

    • Add informal: true if you want casual phrasing in languages that support it.

Translation is currently in Beta — we’d love your feedback to help improve it!
