Paper Magic: The Gathering card sets are printed in several languages.
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] Portuguese and Chinese Simplified were dropped with the release of Bloomburrow in 2024.[2]
Additional languages[ | ]

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]
