en - English (default)
es - Spanish
pt - Portuguese
de - German
fr - French

nl - Dutch
sv - Swedish
it - Italian
tr - Turkish
zh-CN - Chinese (simplified)

Some of these are more complete than others, we always endeavour to have all supported languages fully translated, if you would like to help with our translations please get in touch!

Multi Language support

Overleaf can support multiple languages per container. This is done via different domains configured to respond in a set language using the env variable OVERLEAF_LANG_DOMAIN_MAPPING (or SHARELATEX_LANG_DOMAIN_MAPPING for versions 4.x and earlier) with an escaped JSON string.

OVERLEAF_LANG_DOMAIN_MAPPING = '
    {
      "www": {
        "lngCode": "en",
        "url": "http:\/\/www.mysite.com"
      },
      "fr": {
        "lngCode": "fr",
        "url": "http:\/\/fr.mysite.com"
      },
      "de": {
        "lngCode": "de",
        "url": "http:\/\/de.mysite.com"
      },
      "sv": {
        "lngCode": "sv",
        "url": "http:\/\/sv.mysite.com"
      },
      "zh": {
        "lngCode": "zh-CN",
        "url": "http:\/\/zh.mysite.com"
      },
      "es": {
        "lngCode": "es",
        "url": "http:\/\/es.mysite.com"
      }
    }'
