Language Insights
The internet connects computers, but it is language that connects people. We track the language support of 150 leading global brands — the languages they support, and the languages they may have dropped along the way. Learn more below.
The most-adopted languages on the corporate web.
Ranked by how many of the tracked companies support each language today. Unsurprisingly, the usual trade languages dominate — but the tail is longer than you’d expect.
Every company, sized by how many languages it speaks.
Each circle is one company; its area is its total language count — including the sheet’s own reported totals for sites like Wikipedia, Google, and JW.org, which speak far more languages than the tracked column list can itemize individually. Circles rimmed red have dropped at least one language along the way. Click any circle to open its full passport.
Eighteen years of new languages, one year at a time.
Each bar year is the number of newly-added languages that trace back to a dated entry in the sheet. Undated “always supported” languages aren’t counted here — only confirmed rollouts. Hover the line to read a given year.
Where localization went into reverse.
Companies that once supported a language and later removed it, identified from the sheet’s own cancellation marks. Sorted by how many languages were dropped.
