- English (UK) – The default master database.
- Español (Spanish) – Optimized for both European and Latin American dialects (e.g., “gol” remains “gol”, but positional terms adjust).
- Français (French) – Includes Ligue 1-specific terminology.
- Italiano (Italian) – Perfect for Serie A purists (includes “Trequartista” and “Regista”).

- Türkçe (Turkish) – A fan-favorite addition, given Turkey’s passionate FM community.
- Polski (Polish) – The 9th slot, often rounding out Eastern European representation.
