Multilingual Interface

Feature Request

I received feedback from non-native English speakers—specifically German speakers—who are struggling with the English-only UI.

The request is to make the interface multilingual, supporting at least the most widely spoken languages.

    Cool stuff @Ryan Cush! You know what, I’ve set all my electronic devices to English language, because the computer / programming / IT / tech jargon just sounds much more natural in English to me 😀. Anyway, happy to provide feedback.

      I was actually wondering about that — whether you and @Wolf Amri have your OS set to English. :D The app uses whatever your OS is set to by default, or you can change it in Preferences. Wolf, to your other comment, let me get an export that you can look at side-by-side and flag any that could be improved. Obviously I used AI to do the translations!

    @Klaus Cinibulk @Wolf Amri Look what just launched! Very interested in your opinions/corrections on the translation. My German is kind of rusty. 😂

      😅 I have to admit that mine is rusty too when it comes to photography. Most of my communication in this regard is in English 😅. Do you, by chance, have a file that lists all the German words next to the English ones? I could have a look at that.
      I’m sure there are some better words that don’t immediately come to my mind - for example Farbsaum and Fleckenkorrektur sound a little weird to my ears 😅, but it may even be correct.

        @Wolf Amri (and @Klaus Cinibulk if you are interested) — here is a Google Sheet that shows all of the text in the app and how it translates. Feel free to drop comments in column F or retranslations in column E for anything that looks off. Thanks!

          😅 that’s way more difficult than I thought. I knew certain words are hard to translate, but boy - without context, that’s almost like Latin 😅. I’ll be 4+ hours in the train on Saturday. I’ll try to see what I can come up with ;)

            Don’t spend a lot of time on it — just message me if you stumble on things that are obviously “bad”. :D
