Supported languages

Diglot is built for writers who think in one language and publish in English. This page covers two things: which languages the Diglot interface is available in, and which languages you can write and translate in.

Interface languages

You can use Diglot’s interface in five languages:

Language	Status
English	Default
Spanish	Available
Russian	Available
Ukrainian	Available
Chinese (Simplified)	Available

You can switch the interface language anytime in Settings. The interface languages are only part of the story: you can write and translate in more languages than these, as described next.

Translating between languages

The Translator lets you draft in your stronger language and refine in English. You can write and translate in 14 languages: English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, German, French, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Turkish, Italian, Greek, and Romanian. You can translate between any two of them, including from English back into your own language.

Only English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese are also available as interface languages. If you write in one of the other nine, such as Romanian, you use Diglot’s English interface and choose your language in the Translator and in Settings.

Quality varies by pair:

• Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish ↔ English are well-tuned in both directions.
• Chinese ↔ English works well for everyday writing, and is a little less precise for formal academic Mandarin.
• German, French, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Turkish, Italian, Greek, and Romanian are supported, but we haven’t tuned them the way we have Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish. Read the result over before you use it.

Diglot reliably handles different scripts — Latin, Cyrillic, and Chinese characters — so it can tell your languages apart even in short text.

Paraphrasing in other languages

The paraphrase styles are tuned mainly for English. When you paraphrase Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, or Chinese text:

• Simple and Casual work well in any language.
• Academic and Formal are calibrated for English first, so they’re a bit less precise in other languages.
• Humanize is tuned for English text.

Your paraphrased text stays in the same language as your input unless you choose to translate it.

Limitations

• The interface is available in five languages today. We’re adding more over time.
• The Translator works in the 14 languages listed above. A language outside them isn’t available in the Translator yet.

Common questions

Does Diglot support my language? The interface is in five languages, and you can write and translate in 14: English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, German, French, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Turkish, Italian, Greek, and Romanian. If your language isn’t on that list, it isn’t available in the Translator yet.

Can I paraphrase Chinese text without translating it? Yes. Paraphrasing keeps your text in its original language unless you ask to translate it.

Why are Russian and Ukrainian listed separately? They’re distinct languages with different vocabulary and tone. Keeping them separate means better, more accurate results for each.

Will you add my language? We track requests closely and prioritize the languages our writers ask for most. Let us know through support — we’d love to hear which one you need.
