The expansion builds on Turnitin's growing multilingual AI detection capabilities, which already include English, Spanish, Japanese, and Arabic. It underscores the company's continued commitment to serving diverse educational communities, and its belief that academic integrity should be supported in every classroom or lecture hall, regardless of language.
