Italian is in every set that went deep into Europe
Four of the nine vendors that declare a site language declare Italian. All four also declare Dutch, and none of the sets oriented towards East Asia includes either, which makes the two codes a matched pair in this column. As of 2026-09-22.
| Vendor | Code as declared | Form of the code | The set it sits in |
|---|---|---|---|
| CapCut | it-IT | Region-tagged | 27 locales, every one but English region-tagged |
| Kling AI | it | Bare language code | 20 bare codes |
| SceneMixer | it | Bare language code | 15 codes, one of them script-tagged |
| Synthesia | it | Bare language code | nine codes, one of them region-tagged |
Inclusion rule. Vendors declaring this language as a same-host hreflang alternate. A vendor serving the language without declaring it cannot be seen by this method and is not listed. Order. Alphabetical by vendor.
1The same four vendors as Dutch, and that is informative
Two languages declared by exactly the same four vendors is not a coincidence in a column of nine sets. Italian and Dutch are the fifth and sixth European languages a company in this category adds, and they get added together.
The mid-sized sets that skipped both went east instead, picking up Japanese, Korean and Chinese. So this column contains two recognisable strategies, and this code is one of the markers that tells them apart.
2Italy buys translated software
English reading is lower in Italy than in the Netherlands or the Nordics, which makes a translated page closer to a requirement than a courtesy. Four of nine vendors have one, and a fifth declares nothing at all on its host.
One of the four writes it-IT and the other three write the bare code. The language has one national standard, so the tag adds little beyond confirming the market the page was written for.
3A large audience with nothing published about voices
None of these four vendors publishes a spoken-language list naming Italian, and three of them publish no spoken-language list at all. The one long list in this register that might contain it runs to 143 rows and belongs to a vendor that does declare this code.
That vendor is the only place a reader could check, and its table is for a translation feature rather than for generated dialogue. So even the best case here answers a narrower question than a producer is asking.

Each row was read from the vendor's own markup on 2026-09-22 and is kept in the register; what counts as a declaration is on how counted. The two strategies in this column are compared on a pairing page.
Languages either side of this one in the index: Indonesian and Japanese. Every language any vendor declares is listed at one language at a time.
