#  Language support

The [Parse.ly Dashboard](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/)‘s user interface is available
in English only. There is currently no internationalization and localization (i.
e., translating our English-language Dashboard messaging to your local language).
This also means that Parse.ly does not formally support interface shifts for right-
to-left languages, such as Arabic. However, little English-language messaging appears
in the Dashboard — it focuses on displaying your site’s data for easy interpretation.

## Metadata and smart tags

The Dashboard presents information from your CMS and page [metadata](https://docs.parse.ly/metadata/)
as-is, using the [Unicode Standard](https://home.unicode.org/). From the basic functionality
standpoint, Parse.ly supports all languages with HTML support. Note, however, that
automatically generated [smart tags](https://docs.parse.ly/dashboard/tags-tab/smart-tags/)
are exclusively in English.

The Dashboard user interface is only available in English, but it can display non-
English metadata.

## Search endpoint

Parse.ly crawls and indexes the full text of your article pages to power search 
and recommendation features of the [Parse.ly API](https://docs.parse.ly/api/). Languages
supported in this process are a subset of the languages supported by Unicode. Learn
more about the [`/search` API endpoint](https://docs.parse.ly/api-search-endpoint/).
