A multilingual AI interview assistant that keeps language and role context aligned
Choose the language Acedly should listen for, ground the session in your résumé and target role, and rehearse the moments where an interview switches language or terminology. Acedly supports real-time transcription in 30+ spoken languages, with live translation available on eligible plans.
30+ spoken languages
Set the interview language before the session instead of asking one generic transcript to guess every utterance.
Role-grounded wording
Keep the résumé, job description, and domain terms connected to the active question.
Live translation
Show a translated caption below transcript lines when the feature is available on the selected plan.
Bilingual rehearsal
Practice introductions, project explanations, and technical vocabulary in the languages the interview will use.
Multilingual interviews are more than translated questions
A candidate may hear the question in one language, explain a project in another, and keep technical product names in English. Literal translation alone does not preserve the role, the candidate's evidence, or the terminology an interviewer expects.
Acedly separates the interview's transcription language from the website display language and keeps candidate-provided materials in the session context. Choose the language you expect to hear before starting, then test representative names, acronyms, and domain terms aloud.
- English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese interviews.
- French, German, Italian, Dutch, Hindi, Vietnamese, and other supported-language workflows.
- Cross-border panels where different rounds use different primary languages.
- Technical interviews that keep code and product vocabulary in English inside another spoken language.
Choose the listening language deliberately
Transcription quality drops when the selected language does not match the speech. Confirm the language before the session and run a short microphone test using the same accent, pace, and technical vocabulary you expect in the interview.
If the interview will genuinely switch languages, practice the transition rather than assuming automatic detection will solve it. Decide which language you will use for introductions, technical explanations, and clarification questions, and know where to change the session setting if the primary language changes between rounds.
Translation and answer guidance solve different problems
A translated caption helps you understand what was said. Answer guidance helps organize an accurate response from your own experience. One cannot replace the other: a clean translation may still miss the interviewer's intent, while a polished answer is unsafe if it relies on a mistranscribed name, number, or technical term.
Use the transcript to confirm the question first. Then check that any suggested answer matches your résumé, the target role, and the language register you can speak naturally.
Build a bilingual evidence bank before the call
Prepare the same small set of stories in both languages: an introduction, a difficult project, a conflict, a failure, and a measurable result. Preserve facts and metrics across versions while allowing the sentence structure to sound natural in each language.
For technical roles, add a glossary of architecture, product, finance, or domain terms that you would not translate. Rehearse the explanation aloud so switching language does not also change the substance of the answer.
Keep the candidate responsible for every answer
Language support does not remove the need to verify the transcript or follow the interview policy. Correct names, numbers, and domain terms when the transcript is wrong, and use live assistance only where the employer permits it. Mock interviews remain the safest place to test a multilingual workflow.
Setup workflow
How to get started
- 01
Choose the primary language
Select the language the interviewer will speak most often and keep the website display language as a separate preference.
- 02
Load role-specific context
Add the résumé, job description, and the names or technical terms the session needs to recognize.
- 03
Run a representative audio test
Speak at normal pace with the expected accent and vocabulary, then verify names, numbers, and domain terms.
- 04
Practice the language switch
Rehearse how you will clarify the preferred language and transition without changing the facts in your answer.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many spoken languages does Acedly support?
Acedly publishes real-time transcription support for 30+ spoken languages. Common interview choices include English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German.
Is the interview language the same as the website language?
No. The interview transcription language controls what Acedly listens for during the session. The website display language is a separate interface preference.
Can Acedly translate an interview live?
Eligible plans can show a translated caption below transcript lines. Translation supports understanding; the candidate should still verify important names, numbers, and technical terms before answering.
Can I switch languages during one interview?
You can prepare for bilingual interviews, but transcription is most reliable when the selected language matches the current speech. Test the exact language pattern in advance and change the primary setting between rounds when appropriate.
Is a multilingual interview assistant allowed in every interview?
No. Employers set their own rules for translation and AI assistance. Ask when the policy is unclear and use the multilingual workflow for practice when live support is not permitted.
