=== Upcoming languages ===
Upcoming and still-in-progress translations are listed on [https://crowdin.net/project/minecraft the official ''Minecraft'' translation project page].
=== Removed languages ===
Austrian German was removed from ''Minecraft'' temporarily in version [[Java Edition 12w01a|12w01a]] because it was too similar to German. However, it has been re-included to the game again in version [[Java Edition 1.10|1.10]].

== Translating ==
{{Main|Crowdin}}
[[Java Edition]] and the [[Minecraft Launcher]] are translated in Crowdin. Anyone can join and suggest translations, and the proofreaders decide if the translation is good or not.
== Issues ==
<!--
ATTENTION EDITORS:
Do not list untranslated strings here unless they are due to a bug in Minecraft itself!
Further, do not list incorrect or vandal translations at all!
-->
*''Minecraft'' doesn't support combining characters, leading to some characters displaying improperly, e.g. diacritics appear as a separate character in some languages like Hindi, Tamil, Hebrew, Yiddish, or Thai.<ref>{{Bug|MC-159657}}.</ref>
** {{IN|BE}}, however, this font rendering issue has been fixed in Thai.<ref>{{Bug|MCPE-166005}}.</ref>
* [[Splash]] texts are not translated and therefore always show up in English regardless of language setting.
** A custom (not just translated) splash text can be used by using a [[resource pack]].
* ''Minecraft''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s language option is only for text display. In some languages (such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and so on) players cannot input text in their languages. This is because ''Minecraft'' doesn't support the [[wikipedia:Input method|input method]] of the language. Some users can still use [[mods]] that support it.
**Alternative language input was partially resolved in [[Java Edition 14w34c|14w34c]] and [[Java Edition 15w43a|15w43a]] when {{bug|MC-2781}} was fixed, but still is not functional for all systems.
**Because [[Java Edition 17w43a|17w43a]] upgrades LWJGL, the issue is basically resolved.<ref>A comment in {{bug|MC-2781}}.</ref>
**Because [[Java Edition 1.20-pre5|1.20-pre5]] upgrades Unifont, almost all CJK characters can be displayed properly now.
* Right-to-left text is displayed in reverse in input boxes.<ref>{{Bug|MC-204825}} and {{Bug|MC-268231}}.</ref>

''Minecraft''{{'}}s default font ''Mojangles'' is made up of a grid of dots. Each character supported by the font is between 1 and 6 dots wide. All ASCII characters between 32 (space) and 126 (~) are five dots wide, with the following exceptions:

The space between characters is one dot wide.
Many glyphs are supported by the ''Minecraft'' font, but not all of them. GNU Unifont is used for several languages that use detailed characters, like Chinese or Tamil. See [[Resource Pack#Legacy Unicode]].
== Trivia ==
* The five most-spoken languages that are not supported in Minecraft are Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Punjabi, and Urdu, all of which have more than 70 million native speakers and are primarily spoken in South Asia.<ref>Variants of Arabic and Chinese are usually considered different languages by linguists, and therefore could also be considered to be unsupported languages.</ref> The most-spoken non-Asian language that is not supported is Hausa, with 54 million native speakers.
* According to the Bedrock Edition Chat Settings and the Bedrock Edition game files, the name of the font used by the game is called "Mojangles".
* It is possible to add a custom language pack by modifying the minecraft.jar file, or, as of 13w16a, copying it to the assets/lang folder. In 1.6.1 ({{verlink|Java Edition 13w24a}}), this functionality was added to resource packs.
* All language files can be found in the same way as [[Tutorials/Sound directory|sound files]] (except the <samp>en_us.json</samp> file, where it is found on [[client.jar]] instead.)
