How many languages ElevenLabs supports
ElevenLabs generates speech in 90+ languages with its flagship Eleven v4 model (checked 4 Nov 2026). The official text-to-speech page lists the full roster, spanning major world languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and dozens more — down to widely spoken regional languages such as Urdu, Nepali, Filipino, and Swahili. If your audience speaks it, the odds are good that v4 covers it.
Coverage depends on the model you select. Eleven v3 handles 70+ languages, Multilingual v2 covers 29, and the Turbo v2.5 and Flash v2.5 models each support 32. The practical rule: when you need the widest language net, choose v4; when you need the longest single generation, the v2.5 models allow 40,000 characters per request versus 5,000 on v4 and v3. Our TTS models guide compares the lineup in detail.
ElevenLabs languages: what the list includes
The official language list on elevenlabs.io/text-to-speech (checked 4 Nov 2026) groups languages for browsing, and the headline names are all there: Arabic, Spanish, and French sit alongside Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, and many others. The list keeps growing, so treat the page itself as the source of truth and re-check before starting a project in a less common language.
A language being supported means the model can pronounce it naturally — not just transliterate it. That matters for voiceover quality: Arabic script, Devanagari for Hindi, and right-to-left text all render through voices tuned for those languages, rather than an English voice guessing at foreign words. For language-specific walkthroughs, see our Hindi voiceover guide as an example of the workflow.
How to generate speech in another language
Follow these steps to produce a non-English voiceover. Each step notes its credit cost.
- Open text to speech and pick your model. Choose Eleven v4 for the full 90+ language coverage, or a v2.5 model if you need 40,000 characters in one generation. Credits: none — model selection is free.
- Choose a voice. Pick a ready-made voice that speaks your target language natively, or clone a voice. Preview a short line before committing to a long script. Credits: none — voice selection and previews of settings are free.
- Paste your script in the target language. Respect the per-generation character limit: 5,000 characters on v4 and v3, 10,000 on Multilingual v2, 40,000 on Turbo and Flash v2.5. Split longer scripts into parts. Credits: none — pasting text costs nothing.
- Generate the audio. ElevenLabs consumes roughly 1 credit per character for text to speech, so a 5,000-character v4 generation uses about 5,000 credits. Credits: ~1 per character. Regenerating a section costs credits again, so proofread first.
Character limits by model
Language support and generation length are a trade-off. The official model table (checked 4 Nov 2026) gives these per-request character limits:
| Model | Languages | Characters per generation |
|---|---|---|
| Eleven v4 | 90+ | 5,000 |
| Eleven v3 | 70+ | 5,000 |
| Multilingual v2 | 29 | 10,000 |
| Turbo v2.5 | 32 | 40,000 |
| Flash v2.5 | 32 | 40,000 |
For audiobooks and long narration in a supported language, the v2.5 models’ 40,000-character ceiling means fewer splits. For maximum language choice — say, producing the same script in Arabic, Spanish, French, and Swahili — v4’s 90+ languages win despite the 5,000-character chunks.
How many credits do multilingual projects need?
At roughly 1 credit per character, the math is simple: a 5,000-character generation costs about 5,000 credits. The Free plan’s 10,000 monthly credits (checked 4 Nov 2026) cover two such generations; Starter’s 30,000 (checked 4 Nov 2026) cover six; Creator’s 121,000 (checked 4 Nov 2026) cover about 24; Pro’s 600,000 (checked 4 Nov 2026) cover about 120. Multiply by the number of languages when localizing — four language versions of a 5,000-character script need about 20,000 credits.
New accounts can also use the $1 Starter first-month offer, shown until Nov 8 when checked on 4 Nov 2026, to get 30,000 credits for the first month before the regular $6/mo (checked 4 Nov 2026) applies. That is a cheap way to test several languages before choosing a long-term plan.

Pros
- 90+ languages on Eleven v4 — one of the widest nets in AI voiceover, checked 4 Nov 2026.
- Native pronunciation per language, not transliteration through an English voice.
- Model choice lets you trade language count for generation length (40,000 characters on v2.5 models).
- Free plan includes 10,000 credits per month (checked 4 Nov 2026) for testing languages at no cost.
Cons
- Not every language is on every model — v4’s 90+ drops to 29 on Multilingual v2 and 32 on v2.5 models.
- 5,000-character limit per v4 generation means long scripts need splitting, multiplying credit use.
- Localizing multiplies costs — each language version of a script spends its own credits.
- Voice quality varies by language; less common languages may have fewer voice options.
Who should NOT rely on it
Do not build a project around a language you have not verified on the official list — coverage changes, and the page is the authority. It is also a weak fit for single-language creators who never leave English: you pay the same plan prices whether you use 1 language or 90. And if you need 40,000-character single generations in a language only v4 supports, you face an unavoidable trade-off between language and length.
The 90+ languages earn their keep for localizers, global YouTubers, and course creators publishing in many markets. If that is you, start on the free plan’s 10,000 monthly credits (checked 4 Nov 2026), test your key languages, then scale to Starter or Creator based on the character math above.
Frequently asked questions
How many languages does ElevenLabs support?
90+ languages with the Eleven v4 model (checked 4 Nov 2026). Eleven v3 supports 70+, Multilingual v2 supports 29, and Turbo and Flash v2.5 each support 32. The full list is published on elevenlabs.io/text-to-speech, and it includes Arabic, Spanish, French, Hindi, Urdu, Nepali, Filipino, Swahili, and many more.
Does ElevenLabs support Arabic?
Yes. Arabic is in the official 90+ language list for Eleven v4 (checked 4 Nov 2026). See our Arabic text-to-speech guide for voices, scripts, and credit costs specific to Arabic content.
Does ElevenLabs support Spanish and French?
Yes, both. Spanish and French are in the official language list across the v4, v3, and v2.5 models (checked 4 Nov 2026). Our Spanish guide and French guide cover each language’s voices and workflow.
Which model should I use for another language?
Use Eleven v4 for the widest choice — 90+ languages at 5,000 characters per generation. If your language is among the 32 supported by Turbo or Flash v2.5 and your script is long, those models allow 40,000 characters per generation, which means fewer splits. Check the language list first, then pick the model.
How many credits does a non-English voiceover cost?
Roughly 1 credit per character, the same as English. A 5,000-character generation in any supported language costs about 5,000 credits. The Free plan’s 10,000 monthly credits (checked 4 Nov 2026) cover two such generations, so multilingual projects scale into paid plans quickly — budget per language, not per project.
Can I clone a voice in another language?
Yes. Instant voice cloning is available from the Starter plan upward (checked 4 Nov 2026), and cloned voices can speak supported languages. Record a clean sample, clone it, then generate scripts in your target language with the same voice identity across all of them.
Is there a free way to test languages?
Yes. The Free plan includes 10,000 credits per month (checked 4 Nov 2026) with no time limit, enough for about two 5,000-character generations. That is plenty to test pronunciation and voice quality in two or three languages before paying. The $1 Starter first-month offer, shown until Nov 8 when checked on 4 Nov 2026, is the next cheapest test tier.
