The language can be selected in the dialog opened via **File > Preferences** in the Arduino IDE menus (**Arduino IDE > Preferences** for macOS users). Translating text and improving on existing translations is a valuable contribution to the project, helping make Arduino accessible to everyone. -The translations for the text found in the Arduino IDE come from several sources: +The translations for the text found in Arduino IDE come from several sources: ## Arduino IDE Text +The text of the Arduino IDE application can be translated to the following languages: + +- čeština (Czech) +- Deutsch (German) +- Dutch +- español (Spanish) +- français (French) +- italiano (Italian) +- magyar (Hungarian) +- polski (Polish) +- português (Portuguese) +- Türkçe (Turkish) +- български (Bulgarian) +- русский (Russian) +- українська (Ukrainian) +- 한국어 (Korean) +- 中文(简体) (Chinese Simplified) +- 中文(繁體) (Chinese Traditional) +- 日本語 (Japanese) + +--- + +⚠ Unfortunately the 3rd party localization system used by the Arduino IDE application imposes a technical limitation to that set of languages.
