''Ultimate'' supports 11 languages regardless of region: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Simplified Chinese is available for the first time since the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', and Traditional Chinese is entirely new to the series. However, Portuguese, which was present in ''Smash 4'', is no longer available. For characters who are only voiced in English and Japanese, Asian language localizations use the Japanese voices, whereas Western language localizations use the English voices. As in previous titles, a small number of characters are also voiced in French, Spanish, German and Italian. | ''Ultimate'' supports 11 languages regardless of region: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

For the first time since ''Melee'', language selection is available from an in-game menu rather than being automatically selected based on the system's region and language settings. Some regional differences are still present, such as the name "Duck Hunt Duo" for {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} in British English, while other former differences such as [[Boxing Ring]] character titles and American vs. Commonwealth spelling have been standardized between regional versions. | For the first time since ''Melee'', language selection is available from an in-game menu rather than being automatically selected based on the system's region and language settings.

English, French, and Spanish have two different variants: an American variant (American English, Canadian French and Latin American Spanish) and a European variant (British English, European French and Castilian Spanish). Which version of the language is used depends on the Nintendo Switch's region. A Nintendo Switch whose region is set to "The Americas" will use the American versions, whereas a system whose region is set to "Europe" or "Australia/New Zealand" will use the European versions. This effectively gives ''Ultimate'' a total of 14 language choices compared to the 11 selectable in the menu.<!--todo: clarify the extent of the regional language differences (color vs. colour, Hammer vs. Hammer Flip, Boxing Ring titles, cosmetic differences, etc.)--> | English, French, and Spanish have two different variants: an American variant (American English, Canadian French and Latin American Spanish) and a European variant (British English, European French and Castilian Spanish).

Unlike previous games, changing language settings in ''Ultimate'' reboots the game. As such, changing the language is used by various players as an alternate method (besides closing and reopening the game) to [[Unlockable character|unlock characters]] in Smash battles more quickly by bypassing the 10-minute cooldown timer between challengers, particularly when using controllers that lack a HOME button. | Unlike previous games, changing language settings in ''Ultimate'' reboots the game.
