Language
Choose the language of menus, dialogs and messages, and how right-to-left works.
PopCraft's interface — menus, panels, dialogs, the command palette and messages — can be shown in a language other than English. The language is a setting on each device, like the theme.
PopCraft is available in English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Português (Brasil), Русский, العربية, हिन्दी, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文 and 繁體中文. The languages other than English are machine-translated, so some wording may read oddly; you can switch back to English at any time.
Changing the language
- Open Settings: press
Mod+,, or choose Settings… from the ⋯ menu in the editor's top bar, or click the gear on Home. - Pick a language under Language.
The interface switches as soon as the language has downloaded (a moment, the first time); the file you have open, your selection and your undo history stay as they were.
Match this device (the default) follows your browser's or system's language list and uses the first one PopCraft has. When none of them is available, PopCraft uses English.
Description
The editor with a launch post open. Command-comma opens Settings. Under Language, Arabic is picked: every menu and panel is written in Arabic, right to left, and the whole window mirrors. Match this device switches back to English.
The recording picks العربية (Arabic), which is written right to left, then goes back to Match this device.
What changes, and what doesn't
The language covers PopCraft's own words. Numbers, dates, file sizes and durations are also written the way your language writes them.
It does not change your work: layer names, text on the canvas, page and file names stay in the language you wrote them in. Plugin names, this documentation, and the desktop app's menu bar and tabs stay in English.
Offline
Each language downloads the first time you pick it, and is then kept on this device, so it keeps working with no connection. Picking a language you have never used while offline leaves the interface as it was; Settings says the language is unavailable until you are back online. Your choice is remembered on this device and does not follow your account to other devices.
Right-to-left languages
In a right-to-left language the interface mirrors: the layers panel moves to the right, the inspector to the left, menus open toward the left, and the left and right arrow keys swap in toolbars, tabs, menus and the layers tree.
Your design does not mirror. The canvas, the rulers and the timeline keep their left-to-right coordinates, and the arrow keys still nudge a selected layer in the direction they point.
