What languages does Rocket.Chat support?

At Rocket.Chat, we believe communication is most effective when it's in your native language. That’s why we’ve strongly committed to localization and making the platform accessible and user-friendly for people worldwide.

We don’t have official platform languages. Instead, we rely on the dedication of our global community of volunteers and partners who contribute to translations in a wide range of languages. This collaborative effort helps us break down language barriers and ensure Rocket.Chat is truly global.

How are languages categorized into tiers?

To provide structure to our localization efforts, Rocket.Chat uses a tier system that reflects how complete and reliable each language translation is:

  • Tier 1: 80% or more complete. These translations are high-quality, often enhanced by professional services and maintained by dedicated volunteers or partners.

  • Tier 2: 50–79% complete. Maintained primarily by volunteers, these translations may include some inconsistencies or untranslated areas.

  • Tier 3: Less than 50% complete. These are basic translations with significant gaps, and many parts of the platform may still appear in the default language.

This system helps users understand the quality and coverage level of each language available on the platform.
