Best Multilingual LLMs (Chinese, Spanish, German, Japanese, and more)

These models perform best when you need to work outside English. Each row is averaged across the seven non-English text categories on LMArena (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish). Models are only included if they appear in at least 4 of those categories. Use this list to pick a model for translation, multilingual support, or content in your users' native language.
