Canva AI Goes Multilingual: Major Expansion Announced
Canva AI, the powerful suite of artificial intelligence tools built into the Canva Visual Suite, has received a significant upgrade — it’s now available in 16 new languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, and more. Previously, Canva AI was only available in English.
This expansion allows users to generate AI content using prompts in their native languages, improving accessibility and productivity for millions of non-English speakers.

Beyond Language: Locales and Cultural Sensitivity
Canva clarified that the update isn’t just a translation of interface — it’s a culturally aware AI assistant. The platform now understands 31 distinct locales, meaning it tailors outputs to align with local customs, design preferences, and cultural elements.
For example, Canva said, “Someone in Tokyo asking for a professional presentation will see Canva AI consider Japanese design sensibilities, or someone in Mumbai requesting a festive poster will see culturally-relevant visual elements.”
This locale-aware customization enhances contextual accuracy, making Canva AI more intuitive and user-centric.
