It is localized to other languages, as explained in the article. One of the complaints in the article is that the different localizations offer uneven quality.

  > One of the complaints in the article is that the different localizations offer uneven quality. And there's no publicly documented way to convert between the localizations. It's not even clear that there's a 1:1 correspondence between the word lists!

    It's clear in the article that the lists don't map so you can't even translate between them without going back to W3W and running it through their stuff. > So, if I want to tell a French speaker where ///mile.crazy.shade is, I have to use ///embouchure.adjuger.saladier > Loosely translated back as ///mouth.award.bowl an entirely different location!

      It's no great surprise that the words don't translate. But what I'm asking is it's possible to infer a word-to-word mapping along the lines of English French ------- ------ mile = embouchure crazy = adjuger shade = saladier or if the mapping is weird enough that even that doesn't work.

        Just checked that by changing last phrase in Polish, than changing language to English. It doesn't work: "plomba.rewelacja.oczy" => "exclaim.mainland.engages" "plomba.rewelacja.fasada" => "dare.lawn.sleepy"
