Does any of these solutions work reliably for non-English languages? I’ve had a lot of issues trying to transcribe Swedish with all the products I’ve used so far.

If you are willing to use a service for transcriptions, Mistral (which is also European) works rather nicely if they support your language https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/audio_transcription#tra...

Try ottex with Gemini 3 flash as a transcription model. I'm bilingual as well and frequently switch between languages - Gemini handles this perfectly and even the case when I speak two languages in one transcription.
