Two entries in the language picker are not in the table because they are not languages. **Auto**
detects the language for you, and **Multi** handles one file that switches between languages.

## Working across languages

- **Auto-detection picks the language per file.** Short or noisy files can detect wrong; set the
  language at upload when you know it. [Fix a wrong-language transcript](/help/troubleshoot/transcription/)
- **Mixed-language audio:** set the dominant language rather than relying on detection, then
  correct in the [editor](/help/transcription/editing/).
- **Translation happens after transcription**, on the finished transcript: [Translation](/help/transcription/translation/).

Need a language you don't see, or evaluating multilingual coverage for a team?
[Book a demo](https://calendly.com/speak-ai/demo?utm_source=docs&utm_campaign=book-demo) and
bring a recording in that language.
