Session languages and translation
Checked against the app on 24 October 2026
Olive Grove transcribes about 100 languages. Choose the language spoken, Auto-detect, or a “→ English” option that translates as it transcribes. Notes can be written in a language of your choice.
Where: Record > Recording options > Language
Step 1: On Record, open Recording options and choose Language: a language, Auto-detect, or “<language> → English”.
Step 2: For sessions that move between French and English, choose “English and French (switches)”, or Auto-detect, which switches when the speakers do.
Step 3: To choose the language of the notes, reviews, live cues and Ask answers, open Settings > Appearance and language > Languages. Each can be “Same as the session” or a language of its own.
- The language is locked during a session. A change from the globe button in the header applies from the next session.
- Note section headings stay in English, whatever the note language.
- The app’s own interface is in 11 languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Persian and Turkish. Arabic and Persian are laid out right to left.
- Risk watch recognises phrases in English, French and Arabic.
