Card Language
If you want to sell cards on Cardmarket, you have to know the card's language. Especially for Asian cards, this is not always simple for everybody, so we created a guide that should help you distinguish cards from all languages on sight.
At the end of each section, there is also a description of the sets being printed in that language, as it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to wonder about whether you are holding a simplified or traditional Chinese Arid Mesa when in fact there is only a simplified Chinese version.
