Native-script transcripts for multilingual/code-switching streaming STT

[AshutoshDongaonkar]

We are using Deepgram streaming STT for live transcription with model=nova-2 & nova-3 and language=multi for multilingual/code-switching support.

For Hindi speech, the person may speak Hindi mixed with English technical terms. The transcription currently comes back mostly in Latin-script Hinglish, for example:

docker container me run...

instead of native Devanagari Hindi, such as:

docker container में run...

Questions:

Is Latin-script Hinglish expected behavior when using language=multi for Hindi/code-switched streaming audio?
Is there a supported way to bias or force Hindi output into native Devanagari script while still preserving English technical terms naturally?
Would model=nova-3 & language=multi, language=hi, or flux-general-multi with language_hint=hi&language_hint=en be the recommended setup for this use case?
For real-time streaming speech, what configuration do you recommend when the expected speech is mostly Hindi with English technical terms?
Are there any parameters or post-processing recommendations for native-script multilingual transcripts?
Our goal is to store and display speech in the selected speech language’s native script, while still allowing natural code-switching for technical terms.

Thanks!
