# Supported languages

You may try to evaluate spell & grammar checking functionality for a chosen language on the [supported languages demo page](https://webspellchecker.com/additional-dictionaries/).

Here is a list of all available and supported languages with their short codes. At the moment as a part of the cloud service we provide support for 90 languages and autodetect.

* The language codes have the following format: \[language\_code]\_\[country\_code].
* The next language and country codes standards have been used: [ISO 639‑1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1) and [ISO 3166-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1).
* The default language for localization of user interface is **American English**. If not defined explicitly, the interface language will be set based on the browser localization.
* Default language is `auto`. The system will try to define the language automatically based on the text if not explicitly specified.
* You can choose the desired list of languages while subscribing to the cloud version or installing the standalone one.
