The popular writing assistant now checks grammar and style in Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian — with in-line translation in 19 languages
Grammarly Goes Multilingual
Grammarly, long known as an English-only writing assistant, is now expanding its reach. The company has introduced spelling, grammar, and writing suggestions for five new languages:
- Spanish
- French
- Portuguese
- German
- Italian
This marks Grammarly’s biggest product expansion yet, opening the tool to hundreds of millions of new potential users worldwide.
More Than Spellcheck: Style and Tone Adjustments
Grammarly isn’t just offering simple grammar checks in these languages. The update also includes:
- Paragraph-level rewrites to improve tone, style, and flow
- In-line translation support across 19 languages, available while writing
- Suggestions for clarity and readability, not just correctness
These features are rolling out to both free and paid users.
Meeting Users Where They Are
With this launch, Grammarly aims to stay relevant in a world where global, multilingual communication is becoming the norm.
“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 they think, learn, and communicate in daily,” said Ailian Gan, Director of Product Management at Grammarly.
Tested With 1 Million Users
Before launch, Grammarly piloted the multilingual features with 1 million people, reporting positive feedback. While the company didn’t share specific usage numbers, it believes the update will drive higher adoption globally.
- Grammarly currently reports 40 million daily active users.
- Adding multilingual support could expand its reach in Europe, Latin America, and beyond.
Recent Product Momentum
The multilingual rollout follows a string of recent Grammarly updates:
- New AI features for deeper writing support
- A redesigned document experience, powered by Coda, the productivity startup Grammarly acquired last year
- Future plans to bring multilingual support into its AI-powered tools, not just its grammar checker
This steady pace of updates shows Grammarly’s ambition to become a full-scale productivity and AI writing platform, not just a spellchecker.
