After 16 years of English-only support, the writing assistant now corrects grammar, rewrites paragraphs, and translates across Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.
Grammarly has launched spelling and grammar correction in 5 different languages and in-line translation across 19 different languages. The writing assistant that's helped polish English prose for 16 years now supports Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian. It brings the signature red underlines and one-click rewrites to languages spoken by over a billion people globally. Ailian Gan, Director of Product Management at Grammarly, says,
"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 mentioned in its official blog post that nearly one in five Americans speaks multiple languages. Moreover, Grammarly's 40 million daily active users regularly switch between languages throughout their workday. Until now, that meant constant platform-hopping and second-guessing whether that email to Barcelona colleagues struck the right tone.
Luke Behnke, Grammarly's VP of enterprise product, notes that some beta users discovered the new features by accident. "The rollout took some users by surprise when the familiar red lines suddenly appeared under text written in their native language," he said to The Verge. That unexpected delight speaks volumes about how long users have been waiting for this moment.
What's Available Now
The beta release includes three key capabilities across the five new languages:
- Grammar and Spelling Corrections: Those trusted red underlines now appear whether you're writing in German or Italian, catching everything from basic typos to complex grammatical errors.
- Paragraph-Level Rewrites: One click transforms casual language into the same six different languages (including English) for professional prose, maintaining the nuances that make native speakers sound, well, native.
- Real-Time Translation: The platform now translates across 19 languages directly within your workflow. It needs no more copy-pasting between Google Translate tabs.
The Road Ahead
Grammarly's expansion continues with Spanish users getting advanced clarity suggestions later this year, followed by other languages in 2026. The company, fresh off acquiring productivity startup Coda and launching new AI features, plans to integrate multilingual support directly into its AI-native writing surface.
This is a technical progress and an authentic connection across linguistic boundaries. After 16 years of English-only support, Grammarly's multilingual debut feels like a long-overdue reunion. For millions who think in one language but write in another, the message is clear: your writing assistant finally speaks your language.
