Dear friends,

Good news: The Microsoft Language Portal is live in 11 languages! The site contains information, resources and tools that will hopefully be of use for you.  Here are some of the top features:

  • A search tool that allows you to search for English terms and shipped software strings in more than 90 languages
  • More than 30 style guides are available on the site for you to download for free
  • A feedback tool for you to use to give us your feedback on any term used in any of our products and technologies
  • Information on our terminology processes
  • Information on upcoming events and interesting terms

You may access the site in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian) or Russian. 

These are the languages our site is currently available in, however, our tools and resources support more languages. If the Language Portal has not been localized into your language yet, please visit it choosing the language you are most comfortable with. And let us know what you think - we will be updating the site on a regular basis. We need your feedback to ensure that the Language Portal will be optimized according to your needs and expectations.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Britta
