In its bid to serve a wider range of customers, AI Writing Assistant firm, Grammarly, has added support for five new languages. These are Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian.
With this update, users can now access grammar checks, spelling corrections, and paragraph-level suggestions, not just in English, but also in the new languages. These suggestions cover tone, style, and overall readability, aiming to make multilingual writing smoother and more natural.
Another feature to the toolkit is Grammarly’s translation tool, which allows users to translate text instantly without leaving their workspace. The feature supports translations across 19 languages, including Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Turkish, and Ukrainian.
A maximum of 4,000 characters can be translated at once, and for short phrases of under 10 words, Grammarly may provide multiple translation options.
The company says this tool will work across Grammarly for Windows, Mac, Chrome, and even within the Figma plugin. However, access depends on whether generative features are enabled. Business, Enterprise, and Education account holders will need their admins to turn on generative AI before the translation function becomes available.
Explaining the new focus on multilingual tools, Ailian Gan, director of Product Management at Grammarly, said: “Our customers have been asking for multilingual support, and we’re meeting them where they are, not just in the 500,000 apps and websites where Grammarly already works, but also in the languages that they think, learn, and communicate in daily.”
Grammarly piloted the multilingual features with one million users before today’s public launch, reporting positive results but withholding specific figures. The company, which announced in May that it has 40 million daily active users, obviously sees this expansion as a way to strengthen its place in the productivity market.
This release follows a string of product upgrades, including redesigned document tools and new AI-powered features rolled out last month. Grammarly has confirmed that multilingual support will also extend to these AI tools in the near future.
