Slack is experiencing some connectivity issues — please stand by. Check
Status
You can display the Slack app in one of these five languages: English, German, French, Spanish or Japanese.
If your preferred language isn’t yet supported, you can still send and read messages in other languages by adjusting your spellcheck settings.
Note: In future, we’ll consider additional languages for the Slack app. Stay tuned! 📻
Change your language preference
Your selected language will be displayed throughout the app, but you might see workspace-wide messages or those from bots and apps in your workspace’s default language.
Here’s how to set your individual language preference:
Desktop
iOS
Android
Windows Phone
From your desktop, click your workspace name in the top left.
Choose Preferences from the menu.
Select the Language & region tab.
Choose your language preference.
Swipe from right to left to open the sidebar.
Tap Settings.
Tap Language and select your preference.
Tap the three dots icon in the top right.
Tap Settings.
Tap Language & region.

Messages and spellcheck
Write messages in your language
Even though the Slack app can only be displayed in a few languages, you can still send and read messages in most other languages. In the message box, type your messages in your preferred language and send!
Note: Slack does not support right-to-left languages such as Arabic. We hope to include better support for these languages in the future.
Set spellcheck to a different language
Spellcheck is enabled to detect the language of the messages you send by default: in the message box, misspelt words will appear underlined in red.
You can set spellcheck to a different language or turn it off entirely. Here’s how:
From your desktop, click your workspace name in the top left.
Choose Preferences from the menu.
Select the Advanced tab.
Under Input options, tick or untick Enable spellcheck on your messages.
Use the drop-down menu to confirm your language: use the default option, Automatic by language, or choose your preferred language from the list.
Tip: If spellcheck is on but not detecting the language you’re typing in, click Help in the menu on desktop. Select Troubleshooting, then Clear cache and restart. Or send us a message.
