Languages

Learning something hard is harder again in a second language. Ask for an explainer in the language you think in and the whole lesson arrives that way, narrated by a voice native to 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.

Which languages

The voices come from our speech providers, so the languages available are the ones they have voices for, and the list grows as they add more. Today that is 33:

Afrikaans · Arabic · Bulgarian · Chinese · Croatian · Czech · Danish · Dutch · English · Finnish · French · German · Greek · Hebrew · Hindi · Hungarian · Indonesian · Italian · Japanese · Korean · Malay · Norwegian · Polish · Portuguese · Romanian · Russian · Slovak · Spanish · Swedish · Tamil · Turkish · Ukrainian · Vietnamese

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: first to the closest related language, then to English. The slides are still written in the language you asked for.

Language is set the same way as everything else in the prompt, alongside the teaching style and the formats you want. Your first explainer covers writing that prompt.
