OpenRouter launches beta localization in 7 languages
Start here
OpenRouter released beta localization for its site in Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Japanese and Korean, alongside English. Users can switch languages from the account menu or by visiting localized addresses such as openrouter.ai/ja or openrouter.ai/ko/models. OpenRouter says some wording will be off during the beta and asks users to flag problems with select-to-report in the Language dialog. OpenRouter also described the pipeline that keeps 16,918 English strings translated: a daily loop sends changed strings to GPT-6.1 Sol in batches of up to 40, code rejects broken placeholders and glossary violations, and a second call to the same model acts as a verifier that returns errors by severity for retries. OpenRouter says a full retranslation of the catalog into seven languages costs about $460, versus about $7,200 at Smartling's published machine translation rate.
