The challenge
Distributed teams default to one language, so the engineers who speak it best do most of the talking. Others stay quiet in standups, and important details get lost between offices and contractors.
Use case
Distributed product and engineering
Standups and design reviews where everyone can explain an idea properly, not just the fluent speakers.

Questions
- Does it handle technical vocabulary?
- Product names and jargon usually come through, but machine translation can slip on internal terms, so confirm critical details in writing.
- What about incident calls?
- Foniks works on any call, but for high-stakes incidents keep a written channel alongside it so nothing depends on a single translation.
