Scryfall archives Magic cards in 17 languages (including some unofficial languages).
Each card indicates its language in the lang column using an ISO-like code. When available, cards may also include their printed text in printed_name, printed_type_line, and printed_text columns.
Please note that Oracle text is always English, per game rules. Cards printed in non-English languages are a translation of the Oracle text at the time the card was printed, but these texts do not receive errata.
Support for multiple languages in older sets is limited. Scryfall is expanding this data slowly over time.
