**HeidelTime** currently understands documents in **11 languages**: English, German, Dutch, Vietnamese, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese, Russian, and Croatian.
**HeidelTime** currently understands documents in **13 languages**: English, German, Dutch, Vietnamese, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese, Russian, Croatian, Estonian and Portuguese.

**HeidelTime** distinguishes between **news-style** documents and **narrative-style documents** (e.g., Wikipedia articles) in all languages. In addition, English colloquial (e.g., Tweets and SMS) and scientific articles (e.g., clinical trails) are supported.
