The Web SDK supports the Multilingual capability for ambient sessions. Patients and providers can speak in their preferred language during the conversation; the SDK generates the clinical note in English. Requires Web SDK v2.1.1+.
The Web SDK enables Multilingual support automatically for ambient sessions. You do not configure a multilingual flag in ambientOptions.

​
Common integration patterns and use cases

Design multilingual ambient around automatic enablement in the Web SDK. You do not select a language in the SDK. The submitted clinical note is English. The following patterns show how multilingual behaves in the Web SDK:

Use Ambient without Extra Config

Initialize and mount the Web SDK as usual. Multilingual processing is already on for the ambient session. Do not pass a multilingual flag in ambientOptions.

Capture in Any Supported Language

Let providers and patients speak in their preferred language during the ambient session. You do not need to select a language in the SDK.

Receive the English Clinical Note

After submit, handle the English note through onNoteSubmit (React) or note-submission:success (JavaScript and React). Refer to Note management.

How Multilingual capture works

When Multilingual support is enabled for an ambient session, Suki:
  1. Detects the language spoken during the conversation
  2. Transcribes the audio in the detected language
  3. Translates and processes the conversation content
  4. Generates the clinical note in English
The setting applies to the entire session and cannot be changed mid-session. Suki supports over 80 languages for Multilingual ambient sessions. Refer to the Language code reference for the supported language list and lang_id values.
