Even More Languages
Based on your feedback we’ve expanded the languages you can select in the list to a grand total of 119, so hopefully your choice is now available. Of course if it’s not, just let us know in the comments here (the ISO code and the language natively) and we’ll add it to the list.
The new features based on the language information is coming soon! Thank you to the thousands of you who have already started classifying your blogs. Curious what the top languages are? Here are the top 5 non-English choices:
- Chinese
- Spanish
- German
- Italian
- Portuguese
We’ll be using this data to prioritize services for different languages so encourage your friends to sign up if they speak the same language as you.

Can the admin please put the Nepali language. The files can be downloaded at http://www.ujjwal.com.np/wp2/
Jan 21st at 2:50 pm
wow… Italians at 4th position!
Jan 21st at 7:48 pm
That’s crazy Matt…
Jan 21st at 9:16 pm
But do you have staff that reads all 119 languages?
Jan 21st at 9:22 pm
Not yet!
Jan 22nd at 2:24 am
Chinese is the first!
Jan 23rd at 3:16 am
lat la Latin
Jan 23rd at 4:14 am
Great! I’m getting some of my Chinese co-workers to sign up as soon as the interface is language ready. Read English is still very strenuous for many.
They need to be liberated from feature oppression!
Jan 23rd at 6:50 am
Hmm….
I can enter English, Japanese, and Chinese without specifying any language.
Perhaps if I specify a language my wordpress controls would be in that language?
Jan 23rd at 7:50 am
You are great!
Now we are waiting for the new features based on the language information.
Good work.
Jan 23rd at 8:42 am
Chinese,hmmmm,good.
But,please NO the GFW(Great Fire Wall)!
Jan 25th at 8:48 am
Spanish go go go!
Jan 26th at 9:21 am
Excelente noticia
Feb 5th at 7:12 pm
Ok. Lithuanian (lt) is available, but no latvian (lv)?
Feb 6th at 1:12 am
I would like “Danish” to be a part of it..
Feb 8th at 11:22 am
Norwegian! How can we contribute?
Feb 10th at 10:59 pm
i set the language to spanish but i dont see anything changed, ever in the wp-admin or in the front
Feb 12th at 1:35 am
Swedish would be nice
Feb 12th at 9:22 pm

Oh! J’aimerais bien avoir un interface en français.
Feb 17th at 1:09 am
I’ll do the Afrikaans translations!
Feb 22nd at 7:39 pm
If you want, there’s already a Hebrew translation (including interface) in http://www.trans.co.il/files/wp/wordpress-he-2-0-1.tgz
But i assume you need the author’s approval for that…
Feb 22nd at 8:21 pm
Once you give us access to the spanish interphase, you’ll get swarmed by latin and hispanic bloggers.
Feb 24th at 1:12 am
You should consider also the Greek language interface as i know a lot of bloggers that they use Greek and using the blogger.com service beacuse of that reason.
Feb 27th at 1:40 pm
Español,…………..¿para cuando?
Feb 27th at 4:50 pm
Pourquoi pas le Français?
Langue belle entre toutes ayant survécu en Nord-Amérique.
Langue fondatrice de l’ancienne Nouvelle-France, de la Louisiane, de tout l’Ouest du Mississipi.
Par ailleurs WordPress existant déjà en Français, ce serait pas si compliqué…

Can there be Urdu?
Mar 3rd at 1:45 pm
I need turkish language to start posting on my blog
Mar 8th at 11:41 pm
Korean, please. I expect more than a few thousand Korean bloggers would move to wordpress.com very soon (from “egloos.com”). If wordpress provides easy tool to import data from “egloos.com”, it is possible for more than 10,000 Korean bloggers to settle down here…
Mar 8th at 11:44 pm
Korean, please. Sooner or later, more than 5,000 Korean bloggers may move in wordpress.com because of the recent merge of “egloos.com” by SK communications. If wordpress.com provides an easy tool to import data without any problem from “egloos.com”, it is possible for more than 10,000 Korean bloggers would settle down here…
Mar 8th at 11:47 pm
Korean, please.
Mar 9th at 3:44 pm
I would like to see Latvian language in the list, charset iso-8859-13 or utf-8. I would even like to help with translation.
Mar 10th at 1:10 am

Mar 15th at 9:35 pm
German, please!
Mar 21st at 8:16 pm
Turkish please.
Mar 24th at 4:21 am
I write my blogs in Marathi language (Devnagri) using unicode. The log is displayed properly in Internet Explorer but not in firefox which is my default browser. The same blog hosted on blogger.com shows properly in firefox. I request you to add Marathi language in the Language list (spoken by more than 60 million people in Indian state of Maharashtra) and also improve the unicode interface of the blog with firefox browser, which is getting popular day by day.
Mar 25th at 10:25 am

Apr 13th at 11:53 pm

Hello!
I`ve just translated WordPress into SLOVENE (slovenia, not slovakia).

Thanks in advance!

There are over 700,000 and growing, Iranian blog heads in and out of Iran. So please please include Farsi as well. Blogging is very important for Iranians as it is their main means of communication. Remember about 70% Iranians are under 30 years of age.

Dec 11th at 10:57 pm
Hi all,
To have all these languages is blazing hot, yet I doubt there will be much BLOG’s using them. The majority of Cybernauts still speaks English; and that is good so
Honestly, WP is a wonderful thing and already gives a million choices to the Admin, sometimes only available in one of the nightly’s. I had recently made that expierence myself trying to import external data. Thanks again, lad. It worked perfectly!
Back to the lang stuff: Spanish is nice, but there are at least a dozen different types of Spanish, just like with en-uk, en-us, etc. I am currently working in Mexico and have come to learn, that es-es is not quite es-mx. As for that, my question would be a:) are there any localized sub-langs planned, and b:) can the user interface be switched to one language, while the admins interface remains at plain English?

தமிழ் மொழி இடைமுகம் இருந்தால் நன்று.
(IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THE SITE HAD A TAMIL LANGUAGE INTERFACE)
Dec 21st at 9:06 am

Dec 31st at 8:57 am

Jan 1st at 7:05 pm

Jan 4th at 6:04 am

Jan 18th at 10:17 pm
Catalan is welcomed also
Feb 2nd at 9:15 pm
Sindhi is not included, its being spoken as regional language in Sindh Pakistan and has the status of National langauge along with other languages in India. Dont have technical know how of ISO code so cant let you know. I hope you will include it too. My blog is in sindhi langauge. You can have a look at it for reference.
Feb 3rd at 6:11 am
Me too, like tomavana I need malagasy language (from Madagascar) [mg]
Feb 3rd at 7:14 pm

Feb 18th at 7:44 pm

I would be really gratefull if some details i cannot change were translated in slovene language (eg: ‘posted in’, ‘comments’, etc.) Thanks.
Feb 26th at 10:07 pm

Apr 21st at 9:08 am
What about Javaneese? Google has it ( http://www.google.com/intl/jw/ ) !!
Apr 24th at 12:22 am
My goodness the new languages will make the wordpress the best of the world.
Yes… worldpress… these options will be so good.
I’m Brazilian and my coworkers don’t understand the English as good as me so it will improve our communication, because I want that they can post it easily.
Brazilian people show to the world that is in the web deeply, we are the number one in orkut. Our language are so important to the wordpress. Mainly that just one state in our country is bigger than so many countries in Europe and Asia. We are continental.
So I think I gave you so many reasons to Brazil have its language in wordpress.
Aug 1st at 8:44 am
Wow! chinese language at the top one. Bravo!
But how the Japanese and Korean? are they on the future list?
