Japanese cards
Japanese Pokémon card value: every version has its own price.
The same card doesn't sell for the same price in Japanese and in English. GradeScan & Collect recognises the version in your photo and gives you the value of that one.
Same card, different price
Why the language matters
Print run, print quality, collector demand: a Japanese card can be worth more, or less, than its English version. An app that shows one price for every language is bound to be wrong about one of them.
Scanner
Language spotted from the photo
In Auto mode, the app works out the card's language at the same time as the card. Nothing to set, and nothing you need to be able to read.
Reading
The Pokémon's name in readable Latin letters
On the card page, the Pokémon's name is shown in Latin characters you can read, even for a Japanese or Chinese card. Japanese, Chinese and the 5 European languages all live in the same collection.
