New: Language Tests, Public Profiles, and Leaderboard Pagination

We have been busy. Over the past few weeks we shipped a large batch of improvements to TypingTest.now — new language support, smarter leaderboards, public profiles, and a lot of small quality-of-life fixes. Here is everything that changed.

13 Foreign-Language Typing Tests

You can now take timed typing tests in 13 languages beyond English. Each language has its own dedicated hub page with a full set of test lengths — 15 seconds all the way to 10 minutes — plus information about the language, its special characters, and how to type them correctly on a standard keyboard.

Supported languages:

Switch between languages using the language picker in the toolbar — it sits right next to the time and mode selectors. The active language flag is always visible, and you can return to English (default) at any time with a single click.

Language Flags in Results and Leaderboards

When you complete a test in a foreign language, the flag now appears in your result screen. The same flag shows up in the leaderboard next to your score, and in the live results feed on the homepage — so it is clear at a glance which language a score was set in.

Public Typist Profiles

Every registered user now has a public profile page. Click any username in the leaderboard, the competition standings, or the live results feed to see their stats:

Leaderboard and Competition Pagination

The leaderboard and the weekly competition standings now paginate properly. Previously they were capped at 10 or 25 entries. Now you can page through the full list of participants — 25 per page — with clean pagination controls at the bottom of the table.

This matters most for the weekly competition, where participation has been growing and the top-10 cap was cutting off a lot of legitimate entries.

Typing Test Hub

The typing test hub now lists all language tests alongside the standard English tests. Each language card links directly to that language's hub page. If you have been looking for a way to practice a specific language, this is the fastest way to find the right test.

Navigation Improvements

The top navigation now shows the localised language name in parentheses when you are in a language test — for example, 15-Second Danish (Dansk) instead of just 15-Second Danish. Small change, but it makes it immediately obvious which language you are working in.

What Is Coming Next

A few things are still in progress. Leaderboard flags for older results will not appear because the language column was only added recently — historical results will remain without a flag. We are also looking at per-language leaderboards for the most popular foreign-language tests.

If you find a bug or have a suggestion, use the contact page or leave feedback from your dashboard.

Happy typing.
