Translate & Use Pluely v1 in Multiple Languages

Transcribe a call in one language and share it in another — Pluely handles the live capture and the after-the-fact translation as two separate, simple steps. Language shows up in two places: the transcription language used by Listen mode, and the language you ask questions in — or want answers back in — through Ask mode.

Setting the transcription language for Listen mode

Before starting a live session, choose how incoming speech should be transcribed:

1. Open the overlay or dashboard area for Listen mode (the selector sits with the other Listen controls).
2. Find the transcription language selector — it offers dozens of languages, fetched live so the list stays current: English first, then Auto multilingual, then the rest alphabetically.
3. Choose a specific language if your call or meeting stays entirely in one language — this gives the most accurate result.
4. Choose multilingual/auto-detect if participants will switch languages mid-conversation, so Pluely doesn't lock onto the wrong single language.
5. Start your Listen session. Pluely transcribes according to the mode you selected.

This choice matters more than most settings: a fixed single-language setting garbles speech in other languages, while auto mode occasionally guesses wrong on short phrases. In doubt? Pick the specific language when you're confident the whole call stays in it.

Asking for a translation after the fact

A saved transcript doesn't have to stay in its original language:

1. Open the transcript in your history or library.
2. Choose the translate transformation option.
3. Select the language you want the translation produced in.
4. Wait for Pluely to generate the translated version with your selected model.
5. Review the translation, then copy it like any other transformed transcript — see Export & share transcripts.

Asking Ask mode questions in another language

Translation isn't limited to saved Listen transcripts. In Ask mode, type your question in whatever language you work in, or ask for the answer in a different language than you asked in — a question in English with the answer in Spanish, or pasted foreign-language text with a request for an English summary. This works like any other question; there's no separate mode to switch into.

Combining transcription and translation

The common real-world flow: run a Listen session with the transcription language matching the call's primary language (or auto-detect if it's mixed), let the call finish, then open the saved transcript and request a translated summary in the recipient's language. The transcription setting controls live-capture accuracy; translation happens entirely afterward, with no restart or redo.

Choosing fixed language vs. auto-detect

• Use a specific fixed language when the whole conversation stays in it — the most reliable option for names, acronyms, and fast speech.
• Use multilingual/auto-detect when speakers code-switch within the same conversation, which a fixed setting handles poorly.
• Unsure mid-session which mode is active or correct? Stop, adjust the setting, and restart — cleaner than letting a mismatched setting run through a long call.

Tips

• Default to a specific language over auto-detect whenever you're confident the whole session stays in one language — it's generally more accurate.
• Save a translated summary right after generating it — translation is a transformation, not a persistent setting, so re-run it for each language you need.
• Jargon or names coming out garbled? Check the transcription language selected for that session before blaming the transcript itself.
• Ask mode's answer-in-another-language ability works beyond transcripts — use it for quick translation of any pasted text.
