## Real-time transcription in RealtimeKit now supports 10 languages with regional variants

Mar 06, 2026 

[ Workers AI ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/)[ Realtime ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/) 

[Real-time transcription](https://developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/realtimekit/ai/transcription/) in RealtimeKit now supports 10 languages with regional variants, powered by [Deepgram Nova-3](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/models/nova-3/) running on [Workers AI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/).

During a meeting, participant audio is routed through [AI Gateway](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-gateway/) to Nova-3 on Workers AI — so transcription runs on Cloudflare's network end-to-end, reducing latency compared to routing through external speech-to-text services.

Set the language when [creating a meeting](https://developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/realtimekit/concepts/meeting/) via `ai_config.transcription.language`:

```
{  "ai_config": {    "transcription": {      "language": "fr"    }  }}
```

Supported languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, and Dutch — with regional variants like `en-AU`, `en-GB`, `en-IN`, `en-NZ`, `es-419`, `fr-CA`, `de-CH`, `pt-BR`, and `pt-PT`. Use `multi` for automatic multilingual detection.

If you are building voice agents or real-time translation workflows, your agent can now transcribe in the caller's language natively — no extra services or routing logic needed.
