Grammarly Expands Multilingual Support to Five New Languages
Grammarly, a leading writing tool company, has announced the expansion of its features to support five additional languages: Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Italian. The company's reputation for providing spelling, grammar, and writing tips in English is now complemented by similar capabilities in these new languages.
According to Ailian Gan, Director of Product Management at Grammarly, "Our customers have been asking for multilingual support, and we're meeting them where they are." This expansion allows users to write, edit, and translate text in 19 languages, including English. The feature is available for all free and paid users.
Grammarly piloted the multilingual tools with a million people and saw positive results. The company's decision to expand its features comes as no surprise, given its growing user base of 40 million daily active users. In May, Grammarly announced this milestone, and today's addition is aimed at increasing that number further.
The new features include paragraph-level rewrites for tone, style, and flow in the five additional languages. This means that users can now receive suggestions on how to improve their writing in these languages, just like they do in English. The company's goal is to provide a seamless writing experience across languages.
Grammarly's expansion into multilingual support has significant implications for non-native English speakers who write and communicate online. With this feature, they can now use Grammarly to check and improve their writing in their native language, making it easier for them to express themselves effectively.
The company's decision to make the multilingual features available to all users, both free and paid, is a strategic move to increase its user base and stay competitive in the market. As the demand for digital communication continues to grow, Grammarly's expansion into multilingual support positions it well to meet this need.
Grammarly's next steps will be to continue refining and expanding its features to meet the evolving needs of its users. With its growing user base and increasing capabilities, the company is poised to become an essential tool for writers and communicators around the world.
In a statement, Ailian Gan said, "We're committed to helping our customers communicate effectively in their native language." This commitment is evident in Grammarly's decision to expand its features to support five new languages, making it a leader in the writing tools market.
