Which languages work best with mentions?

Mentions are recognized in articles written in English, French and German. Articles in other languages get no mentions when they arrive, but if you translate one into English, French or German, or load its full content, your copy of that article gets its own mentions.

Language detection

Inoreader detects the language of every article from its title and text before recognition runs, and only English, French and German articles go on to it. A newsletter email is handled the same way, with its language read from the subject and the text. The language rule is the same on every plan.

The language is one of several conditions: the article also has to come from an eligible feed and carry enough text. Why are mentions missing from some articles? lists all of them.

Translated and full-content copies

When you translate an article or load its full content, the copy is processed again in the copy's language, so an article translated into English, French or German gets mentions in that copy. Those mentions stay in your copy: the mention pages' counts, monitoring feeds and rules work from the original article only.

Translation is a separate feature with its own plan rules.

Articles in other languages

For a name in articles written in another language, follow it as a keyword, which works in any language. What is the difference between a mention and a keyword? explains when each one serves you better, and What are mentions? describes how recognition works.

Mentions are a Pro feature, with the list in articles visible on Free as well.
