The global teaching workforce is enormous. There are roughly 90 million teachers worldwide. The majority of them don't work in English-speaking countries. And yet the vast majority of EdTech tools — including most AI lesson planning tools — are built in English, for English speakers, with an English-language interface.
ScholaPlan supports 32 languages. That's not a marketing bullet point — it's a structural decision that affects who can actually use the product.
Which languages are supported
The full list covers the world's most widely spoken languages: Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and Chinese (Simplified).
These cover the primary language of over five billion people. A teacher in Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo, or Kyiv can use ScholaPlan in their own language without navigating an English interface.
What "language support" actually means
Language support in ScholaPlan means the entire interface — menus, buttons, labels, help text, error messages — renders in the selected language. This is different from simply translating a homepage. Every functional part of the application is localised.
AI-generated lesson plans are also produced in the teacher's chosen language. A French teacher in Dakar who sets their language to French will receive AI-generated lesson structures, objectives, and activity descriptions in French — not in English to be manually translated.
The language setting persists across sessions. Once set, the teacher never has to change it again.
Who uses it
Three groups benefit most from multi-language support:
Teachers in international schools who teach in English but prefer to plan in their first language. International schools draw teachers from dozens of nationalities — a maths teacher at a school in Dubai might be from the Philippines, France, or India. Planning in your native language is faster and produces more natural-sounding objectives and instructions.
Teachers in non-English-speaking countries who simply want a tool that works in their language. A secondary history teacher in Warsaw or a primary teacher in Jakarta should be able to use lesson planning software without an English-language barrier.
Teachers working in multilingual contexts who teach content in one language and plan in another. The flexibility to switch language without affecting lesson content is useful in complex linguistic environments.
Why most EdTech tools don't do this
Localising a software product into 32 languages is expensive and time-consuming. Most EdTech companies focus on English-speaking markets first — the US, UK, and Australia — and either never expand or expand slowly after significant investment.
ScholaPlan was built with international schools and non-English teachers in mind from the start. At £15/year, it's also designed to be affordable in markets where $20/month is genuinely prohibitive. A teacher in a lower-income country earns a fraction of what a UK teacher earns — the economics of lesson planning software need to reflect that.
Changing your language
Language can be changed in your ScholaPlan account settings at any time. The change takes effect immediately and applies to all parts of the interface. AI-generated content will be produced in the new language from that point forward.
