Deepgram's Nova 3 model supports arabic language, however in the dashboard of vapi neither nova 2 or nova 3 support arabic, is arabic planned to be added later?

Hi, Yes, Arabic is supported with Deepgram Nova‑2 and Nova‑3 in Vapi, even if it doesn’t yet appear in the dashboard dropdown. You can enable it by setting the transcriber language to ar via the API, for example:

{
  "transcriber": {
    "provider": "deepgram",
    "model": "nova-3",
    "language": "ar"
  }
}

Relevant docs: • Deepgram transcriber: https://docs.vapi.ai/providers/transcriber/deepgram • Multilingual setup: https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/multilingual As an alternative, Azure Speech also has strong Arabic support and can be used if you prefer configuring everything directly from the dashboard. Let us know if you need help setting this up.

I've tried using the api directly with nova-3, this was the response: { "statusCode": 400, "message": "Status code: 400\nBody: {\n \"message\": [\n \"transcriber.language must be one of the following values for nova-3 model: en, en-US, en-AU, en-GB, en-IN, en-NZ, de, de-CH, nl, nl-BE, sv, sv-SE, da, da-DK, es, es-419, fr, fr-CA, pt, pt-BR, pt-PT, it, tr, no, id, bg, ca, cs, et, fi, el, fa, he, hi, hu, ja, ko, ko-KR, lv, lt, ms, pl, ro, ru, sk, uk, ur, vi, multi\"\n ],\n \"error\": \"Bad Request\",\n \"statusCode\": 400\n}" } The api docs also don't show arabic in the language enum

Hi, I understand the earlier confusion. Could you please try using Google's transcriber with the multilingual settings?
