Anarlog separates the language used for summaries and chat from the languages it should expect in a conversation.

​
Choose the main language

Open Settings → General and choose Main language under Language & Region. Anarlog uses the main language for chat and as the default for summaries. It is also always included as a transcription language. When you add spoken languages, Anarlog checks the transcript and writes the summary in the language used most among your selected languages. Generated titles follow the summary. If detection is unavailable, Anarlog uses your main language. In desktop 1.4.30 and later, turn on Use main language for summaries under Main language to write summaries in your main language even when the meeting uses another selected language. This option is off by default and does not remove your additional transcription languages. Leave it off to keep automatic summary language detection. Changing the main language does not translate an existing transcript. Regenerate a summary to apply the new output language to an older meeting.

​
Add spoken languages

Under Additional spoken languages, add other languages people may use in the same meeting. This gives transcription more context for multilingual conversations. The selected Transcription provider and model must support those languages. If a language is missing or performs poorly, try another model under Settings → Transcription.

​
Languages you can choose

Settings offers these languages for the main language and additional spoken languages: Arabic, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Bangla, Bosnian, Catalan, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Persian, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Hindi, Croatian, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Lithuanian, Latvian, Macedonian, Marathi, Malay, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Serbian, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Filipino, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, and Chinese. That list is the Anarlog Cloud picker. On-device and bring-your-own-key models can support a subset or a different set:
  • Soniqo transcribes Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Maltese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, and Ukrainian.
  • Apple Speech live transcription uses one supported language at a time: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Cantonese, or Chinese. Add that language in macOS System Settings before selecting Apple Speech.
  • On-device file uses the language list of the whisper.cpp .bin you select.
  • A bring-your-own-key provider uses that provider’s language list. See How can I use on-device models?.

​
Improve names and jargon

Language selection does not teach the model company-specific terminology. Add names, acronyms, and product terms under Settings → Dictionary. For summary structure and wording, use Customize meeting summaries.
