Product guide

Supported languages.

WordHalo's interface and explanations are available in 12 languages, and it automatically detects highlighted text in 25 languages. You choose your own language once; WordHalo identifies the language of whatever you highlight and explains it in yours.

Which languages can the interface use?

“My language” — the language of the interface, translations, definitions, and explanations — can be any of these 12 languages:

  • English
  • German
  • Hindi
  • Indonesian
  • Japanese
  • Khmer
  • Lao
  • Portuguese
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Spanish
  • Thai
  • Vietnamese

Which languages can WordHalo detect and explain?

When you highlight text, WordHalo automatically identifies its language among these 25 languages and explains it in your language:

  • Arabic
  • Bengali
  • Dutch
  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Greek
  • Hindi
  • Indonesian
  • Italian
  • Japanese
  • Khmer
  • Korean
  • Lao
  • Malay
  • Polish
  • Portuguese
  • Russian
  • Simplified Chinese
  • Spanish
  • Swedish
  • Thai
  • Turkish
  • Ukrainian
  • Vietnamese

If the language of a selection cannot be identified confidently, WordHalo still attempts a translation and marks the source language as undetermined rather than guessing.

How do saved words handle multiple languages?

  • Every saved word is stored under its detected source language.
  • Libraries for different languages stay separate — saving French words never mixes them into your German library.
  • Flashcards and learning games can be filtered to one language or practiced across all languages.
  • Pronunciation audio uses the detected language of each word.

Notes and limits

  • Unlimited dictionary definitions currently cover English words; other languages receive AI-generated definitions within the daily free allowance.
  • Pronunciation audio depends on the voices installed with your browser and operating system, so availability varies by language and device.
  • More languages may be added over time; this page and the pricing page reflect the current lists.
