Microsoft 365 Copilot Expands Language Support to 48 Languages
In a significant update, Microsoft 365 Copilot, the company’s advanced AI productivity tool, has added support for six new languages, increasing its offering to a total of 48 languages. The newly included languages are Albanian, Filipino, Icelandic, Malay, Maltese, and the Cyrillic variant of Serbian, complementing the previously existing Latin script for Serbian. This broadens the accessibility of Microsoft 365 Copilot across various regions and communities, making it a more inclusive tool for users worldwide.
Impact of the New Language Features
The addition of Filipino and Malay is especially noteworthy, as it opens avenues for hundreds of millions of speakers of these languages to utilize Microsoft 365 Copilot effectively. This development underscores Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing global usability and ensuring that businesses can leverage AI advancements to improve their operational efficiencies.
Phased Rollout for OneDrive and Loop Integration
While most Copilot features are immediately available in the newly added languages, Microsoft indicates that the integration with OneDrive and Loop will occur in stages. Users can expect full functionality by the end of the third quarter of 2025, allowing businesses to gradually adapt to these new capabilities over time.
Comprehensive Script Support
The inclusion of Cyrillic Serbian alongside Latin script demonstrates Microsoft’s attention to detail in catering to users from regions that operate with dual scripts. This initiative reflects the company’s ambition to serve diverse linguistic communities and hints at a future strategy to cover even more lesser-spoken languages.
