Languages ​

Ask for an explainer in the language you think in, and the whole lesson comes in that language, narrated by a voice that speaks it: a Spanish explainer gets a Spanish voice, not an English voice reading Spanish words.

Asking for a language ​

Ask in the language you want, and the whole lesson follows: slide titles, the text on each slide, and the narration. Explica cómo funciona DNS gets a Spanish explainer, narrated by a Spanish voice.

You can also ask in one language for another: explain closures in Japanese works too. Code, identifiers, and filenames stay as they are, since those are the same in every language.

Explain picks a voice native to the language where it can. How many voices exist per language differs, so widely spoken ones have more variety to pick from.

Ask for a language with no voice yet and the narration falls back to English. The slides are still written in the language you asked for.
