The app is, but the location coordinates are all in English, aren't they?
but wow, What3Words gave me the creeps with it's casual anglo-centrism. Let's name every centimeter on earth with three randomly chosen English words. Yaiks, because we didn't have enough of that throughout the history 
The locations, or what3words addresses, can be in any of 46 languages. Our app can also display the what3words address in 2 languages at once. Here is Arabic & German.pic.twitter.com/9Qu4wT8PZR

Ah, fair enough, it didn't do it when I changed the language and I didn't dig deep enough. How does it choose translations? Or are the words different in each language?

NP. New system for each language. Shorter, more common words in places that speak that language. Similar combinations far apart to make errors obvious.
