Javanese is the largest regional language of Indonesia, spoken across Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta, and by communities in Suriname and Malaysia. Java is home to more than half of Indonesia's population, making it the country's economic center.
Supporting Javanese lets you reach customers in cities like Surabaya, Semarang, and Yogyakarta in the language they use at home, not just in formal Indonesian.
People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Javanese speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.
Code-switchingUse cases
Whatever you're building, Javanese shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.
Offices in Surabaya and Semarang often run meetings in Indonesian with Javanese mixed in, so notes need to capture both without dropping the asides.
Meeting assistants →Turn every Javanese support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.
CCaaS →Javanese changes its vocabulary with politeness levels like ngoko and krama, so voice agents need to understand the same request phrased in very different words.
Voice agents →Javanese thrives in music, wayang shadow puppetry, and regional TV, and creators sharing that work online need subtitles and searchable transcripts.
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.
