Sailing is a global sport, and race management software should speak the language of every fleet it serves. Starting with our March 2026 release, Regatta RC ships with full support for ten languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional).

This isn't a machine-translated afterthought bolted onto an English-only product. Every label, menu, error message, notification, and help string in the application has been extracted into locale files and reviewed for context. Units adapt to regional conventions — metric or imperial for wind speed, depth, distance, and GPS coordinates. Date and time formats follow local standards. Currency displays match the user's locale for subscription and billing screens.

For international regattas that draw competitors from multiple countries, each sailor sees the interface in their preferred language while the race committee works in theirs. Results, standings, and notifications are locale-aware, so a Japanese competitor and a French protest committee can both read the same race data in their native language without anyone switching settings.

Why these ten languages first? They cover the major sailing federations affiliated with World Sailing and represent the home languages of the largest active racing fleets worldwide. Spanish and French bring in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and South American circuits. German covers Northern Europe's massive fleet. Russian reaches the growing Baltic and Black Sea racing communities. Korean, Japanese, and both Chinese scripts open the door to Asia-Pacific fleets that have been underserved by English-only race management tools.

Adding a new language is straightforward — it's a locale file, not a code change. If your fleet speaks a language we don't support yet, reach out. We want Regatta RC on every race course on the planet, and language should never be the barrier.
