Italian is an official language of Italy, San Marino, Vatican City, and Switzerland, and widely spoken in Malta and Albania. Italy is one of the eurozone's largest economies, and Italian travels with emigrant communities across the Americas and Australia.
Supporting Italian lets you serve customers across Italy and the Swiss canton of Ticino, and reach Italian-speaking communities from Argentina to Australia, with one language covering markets on several continents.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Italian speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Italian shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Swiss federal and corporate meetings move between German, French, and Italian, so notes need to catch speakers from Ticino alongside their colleagues.
Meeting assistants →Call centers in Albania handle Italian-language support for Italian brands, at volumes QA teams can't review manually.
CCaaS →Many Italians still switch between standard Italian and a regional dialect, so voice agents need to follow speech that shifts mid-sentence.
Voice agents →Italy has a long dubbing tradition, so studios and streamers need accurate Italian transcripts to script, sync, and subtitle content.
Media →Supported languages
Being multilingual has been our priority since day one. Gladia supports 100 languages, with code-switching and automatic language detection integrated into all models by default.
