Supported languages in Smartcat
Overview
Smartcat supports translation across a wide range of languages, including regional variants, multiple scripts, and both left-to-right and right-to-left writing directions. Use this reference to confirm whether a language you need is available and to check its language tag, script, and writing direction before you set up a project.
💡 The Tag column shows the language code Smartcat uses to identify each language. Use it when you configure source and target languages in a project.

FAQs
How do I know which language code (tag) to use when setting up a project?
Use the Tag column in the supported languages reference — that's the exact code Smartcat uses to identify a language when you configure source and target languages.
Does Smartcat support right-to-left languages?
Yes — languages like Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and Pashto are supported and correctly flagged as right-to-left in the writing direction column.
Are regional variants of a language treated separately?
Yes — for example, Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese each have multiple regional variants (e.g., Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Argentina)) with their own tags.
What if my language isn't listed here — does that mean Smartcat can't handle it?
This reference lists Smartcat's currently supported languages; if you don't see yours, it's best to check with Smartcat Support rather than assume it isn't supported, since coverage is expanded over time.
Why do some languages appear multiple times with different scripts (e.g., Kashmiri Arabic vs. Kashmiri Devanagari)?
Some languages are written in more than one script depending on the region or community, so Smartcat lists each script variant separately with its own tag and writing direction.
