Why Maltese matters

570K+

people speak Maltese

Maltese is a national language of Malta and the only official Semitic language of the European Union. Malta is a small but busy EU economy, with strong financial services, tourism, and online gaming sectors.

Reach Maltese speakers wherever they are

Supporting Maltese lets you serve customers in Malta and Gozo in the language they use at home, and meet the needs of EU institutions that work in every official language.

Maltese with a side of English (“Maltenglish”)? Handled.

People rarely stick to one language. Gladia follows Maltese speakers when they switch mid-sentence, so your transcripts stay clean.

Use cases

What teams build with Maltese transcription

Whatever you're building, Maltese shouldn't be the thing that slows it down.

Meeting assistants

Offices in Valletta switch between Maltese and English mid-sentence, so notes need to capture both without dropping either.

Contact centers (CCaaS)

Turn every Maltese support call into searchable, analyzable data for QA, compliance, and agent coaching.

CCaaS →

Voice agents

Let Maltese speakers talk to your product the way they'd talk to a person, with no language menu and no awkward pauses.

Media & content

As an official EU language, Maltese needs accurate transcripts and subtitles for parliamentary debates, public broadcasting, and official communications.
