In 2009, QQ began to expand its services internationally with its QQ International client for Windows distributed through a dedicated English-language portal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imqq.com|title=QQ International Official Homepage|publisher=Tencent|access-date=2011-01-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121206085430/http://imqq.com/|archive-date=2012-12-06|url-status=live}}</ref>

QQ International offers non-Mandarin speakers the opportunity to use most of the features of its Chinese counterpart to get in touch with other QQ users via chat, VoIP, and video calls, and it provides a non-Mandarin interface to access [[Qzone]], Tencent's social network. The client supports English, French, Spanish, German, Korean, Japanese and Traditional Chinese.

One of the main features of QQ International is the optional and automatic [[machine translation]] in all chats.

=== Android ===

An Android version of QQ International was released in September of 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mobileqqi&hl=en|title=QQ International for Android|publisher=Tencent|access-date=2012-10-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103043430/https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mobileqqi&hl=en|archive-date=2013-11-03|url-status=live}}</ref> The client's interface is in English, French, Spanish, German, Korean, Japanese and Traditional Chinese.
