==History== | |||
===Main languages=== | |||
The first sets were originally printed in English only. The ''[[Legends]]'' expansion marked the first internationalized printing of a ''Magic'' set, in Italian. Further languages were added over the years until the maximum set of languages was reached: English, Chinese Simplified, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (mostly for the Brazilian market), and Spanish. Russian, Korean and Chinese Traditional were dropped starting with the release of ''[[Dominaria United]]'' in 2022.<ref>{{DailyRef|news/changes-magic-product-languages-2022-07-18|Changes to Magic Product Languages|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|July 18, 2022}}</ref> Portugese and Chinese Simplified were dropped in [[2024]].<ref>{{DailyRef|announcements/changes-to-magic-product-languages-in-2024|Changes to Magic Product Languages in 2024|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|February 22, 2024}}</ref> | |||

A small number of [[Prerelease cards|Prerelease promos]] were printed in other languages: Latin, Classic Greek, Sanskrit, Arabic and Hebrew. A [[Judge Gift]] card of <c>Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite</c> uses [[Phyrexian (language)|Phyrexian]] scripture, as do a few other printings of [[Praetor|Praetors]].

==List of printed set languages== | |||
Note that the sets below are ordered by their English release date, but that the schedule for non-English releases was somewhat different. For example, the Italian, French, and German ''[[Revised Edition]]'' were released in late 1994, followed by the Italian version of ''[[The Dark]]'' in early 1995, and Legends in mid-1995. This is the opposite of the order those two expansions appeared in English. Today, all language printings are released at the same time. Still, all products aren't necessarily released in every language. | |||

Paper Magic: The Gathering card sets are printed in several languages.
This article or section has been nominated for an update The content should be updated to include new information that has been released, specifically sets released after Baldur's Gate. You can help MTG Wiki by updating it. Please consider discussing this issue on the corresponding talk page or, if possible, replace this tag with a more specific message. |
History
Main languages
The first sets were originally printed in English only. The Legends expansion marked the first internationalized printing of a Magic set, in Italian. Further languages were added over the years until the maximum set of languages was reached: English, Chinese Simplified, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (mostly for the Brazilian market), and Spanish. Russian, Korean and Chinese Traditional were dropped starting with the release of Dominaria United in 2022.[1] Portugese and Chinese Simplified were dropped in 2024.[2]
Additional languages
A small number of Prerelease promos were printed in other languages: Latin, Classic Greek, Sanskrit, Arabic and Hebrew. A Judge Gift card of Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite uses Phyrexian scripture, as do a few other printings of Praetors. Unhinged 's Latin Pig is written in Pig Latin.[3]
List of printed set languages
Note that the sets below are ordered by their English release date, but that the schedule for non-English releases was somewhat different. For example, the Italian, French, and German Revised Edition were released in late 1994, followed by the Italian version of The Dark in early 1995, and Legends in mid-1995. This is the opposite of the order those two expansions appeared in English. Today, all language printings are released at the same time. Still, all products aren't necessarily released in every language.
