We couldn’t add all 77 languages to a single story (we did list them all here if you’re interested)—just imagine the long list of language icons! 😮‍💨 Instead, a select number of stories were translated into 13 languages, with English, Spanish, and Japanese consistently included due to their rapid growth. The remaining 10 languages are randomized, making it a fun surprise to see where your work will appear. Visit some of the new languages homepage here, here, and .
