Your device language decides where you start on a fresh install. If it is not one of these, the app opens in English and you can switch at any time.
What is translated
The interface, settings, onboarding, and the FAQ.
What is not
These documentation pages. They are English only, deliberately: they change whenever the product does, and keeping 40 translations of a couple of hundred pages current is not something anyone does well. The FAQ covers the common ground and is translated.
Your own things. Obviously, but worth saying: nothing you wrote is ever translated or altered.
Going further
Language is separate from date format. Reading the app in Spanish while using a US date format is a valid combination, which matters if you have moved country. See dates, times and units.
Search does not care about language. It normalises accents, so "café" finds "cafe" and vice versa regardless of your interface language.
Date detection is language-aware, so writing a date in your own language is understood.
Settings that change this

Tips
- If a string looks wrong or untranslated, it is worth reporting. Translations are maintained rather than generated once.
