The three columns every row in the register is split into
Every claim in the register is filed under one of three columns: the website a vendor serves, the documents its product generates, and the dialogue its output speaks. A claim belongs to exactly one of them, and a column it says nothing about is recorded as empty rather than inferred. As of 2026-09-12.
The columns exist because vendors use one word for three capabilities. A page announcing wide language coverage is usually describing its own website, is read as describing the generated output, and is almost never describing the voices. Splitting the claim at the point it enters the register is the only place the merge can be stopped.
Each column page below sets out what the column records, what evidence fills it, and the thing it is routinely read as promising and does not. Those limits are written once, on the column page, so that a cell elsewhere can point at them instead of carrying a parenthesis.
The columns also decide what a blank means. An empty cell says the vendor addresses nothing on its own pages, which is a different statement from a vendor saying no, and it is the state most cells in two of these three columns are in.
1The columns
- Site language — The register column counting hreflang alternates a vendor serves from its own domain: what an offered website proves about a generator, and what it cannot.
- Document language — The register column for the language of generated outlines and storyboard scripts: what a vendor has to publish to fill it, and why almost none of them do.
- Dialogue language — The register column for the language characters actually speak: why it is kept apart from the documents column, and what a bare count leaves unanswered.
A fourth column would need enough vendors publishing something comparable to fill it; a question nobody answers stays a question rather than becoming a column.
The rest of the atlas: Entries, By language, Side by side, Markets, Tools, Output, Questions, Terms, Learn, Data. How a list earns a column is set out on the counting page.
