Pluto

We want to make Julia and Pluto more accessible to a wider audience! Since 0.20.14 (August 2025), Pluto has a localization system, which means that the Pluto UI interface can be used in a different language, not just in English!

A screenshot of Pluto in Greek! Also notice that one piece of text in the middle (Enter cel code...) has not been localized yet, so it uses English as a fallback.

A new dropdown menu in the bottom-left (or bottom-right in Arabic, one day!) lets you pick the language. In a future release, we will also auto-detect the system language and use that as the default.

What this does not change

This does not change anything in Julia. For example, sqrt(-1) will still say “Domain Error”, regardless of the selected language. And you can still write code and Markdown in any language! This is only about the Pluto UI.

Calling for contributions!

We need you! Do you speak a language other than English, and would you like to help make Pluto available to more people? Consider making a contribution by localizing Pluto to your language!

It’s a fun task, and your work will be appreciated by many users in years to come! Read the language contributors documentation here
