In my experience it works ok. The "English" model actually knows a lot of languages and will translate directly to English. You can also transcribe it to Japanese and use a translator to convert to English. This can sometimes help for more semantically complex dialogue. For example, using faster-whisper-xxl [1]: Direct translation: faster-whisper-xxl.exe --language English --model large-v2 --ff_vocal_extract mdx_kim2 --vad_method pyannote_v3 --standard <input> Use Japanese, then translate: faster-whisper-xxl.exe --language Japanese --task translate --model large-v2 --ff_vocal_extract mdx_kim2 --vad_method pyannote_v3 --standard <input> 1. https://github.com/Purfview/whisper-standalone-win https://github.com/Purfview/whisper-standalone-win
