Can 'microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk' handle two speech recognition languages at the same time?

Question

Can 'microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk' handle two speech recognition languages at the same time?

Context is that I'm building a translation app.

I want a single speech translation recognizer to be able to understand two different input languages, just like a real interpreter.

Right now, you are setting the speech config like so. It would be interesting if you can add multiple languages as speech recognition.

Or is it some other way to achieve this?

    const speechTranslationConfig = SpeechTranslationConfig.fromSubscription(
      SUBSCRIPTION_KEY,
      REGION
    );
    speechTranslationConfig.speechRecognitionLanguage = SPEECH_LANGUAGE;
    speechTranslationConfig.addTargetLanguage(TARGET_LANGUAGE);

@VasaviLankipalle-MSFT thanks for your input!

I'm collecting speech through microphone and the TranslationRecognizer object requires a speech recognition language to be set on init.

    const speechTranslationConfig = SpeechTranslationConfig.fromSubscription(
      SUBSCRIPTION_KEY,
      REGION
    );
    speechTranslationConfig.speechRecognitionLanguage = SPEECH_LANGUAGE; // Only one recognition language possible. ata time
    speechTranslationConfig.addTargetLanguage(TARGET_LANGUAGE);

    const audioConfig = AudioConfig.fromDefaultMicrophoneInput();
    const translationRecognizer = new TranslationRecognizer(
      speechTranslationConfig,
      audioConfig
    );

Hello @Erik Nguyen , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Using language identification you can detect up to 10 possible input languages and automatically translate to your target languages.

auto_detect_source_language_config = \
    speechsdk.languageconfig.AutoDetectSourceLanguageConfig(languages=["en-US", "de-DE", "zh-CN"])

For a complete code sample, please refer to language identification.

Is this something you are looking for?
