Switching Languages in Wavo

Change the Wavo interface or encounter language on the website and mobile app, and understand which language is used for transcription and note generation.

Wavo supports English, Spanish, and French. Interface language and encounter language are related, but they are not the same setting on every platform.

New encounter language

Choose a language in the encounter before recording.

New encounters use the current mobile app language.

Change an existing note’s language

Open Reprocess Options and choose the language.

Use the website when you need to choose a different language during reprocessing.

Change the website interface language

  1. Open Settings from the website sidebar.

  2. Open Preferences.

  3. Under Language, choose English, Español, or Français.

Wavo opens the current page in the selected language. Menus, buttons, and labels update; existing note content is not automatically translated.

Change the mobile app language

  1. Open the sidebar and tap your profile.

  2. Tap Language.

  3. Choose English, Spanish, or French.

The mobile interface updates immediately. This selection is stored on the device and is also used as the language for new mobile encounters.

Choose a language for a website encounter

  1. Open or create the encounter on the website.

  2. Before recording, use the encounter language selector to choose English, Spanish, or French.

  3. Start recording.

The encounter language controls transcription and generated note content, including section headings.

Interface and encounter languages can differ on the website. For example, you can use the interface in French while recording and generating one encounter in English.

Regenerate a note in another language

  1. Open the encounter on the website.

  2. Open the three-dot menu and choose Reprocess.

  3. Choose English, Spanish, or French under Language.

  4. Choose the template or keep the default, then select Reprocess.

Reprocessing regenerates AI-produced content and may replace clinician edits in the generated note. Copy anything you need to preserve first.

Tips

  • Review every generated note for transcription or translation errors.

  • Keep documentation language consistent when required by your clinical or organizational workflow.

  • The encounter Assistant is a website feature and generally responds in the language associated with the encounter and note.
