Language

Zorite’s interface is available in English and 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese). Pick one under Settings → General → Language; the app switches immediately — menus, settings, dialogs, the editor and reading-view context menus, the / command palette, tab titles, and the unlock screen included. The Chinese localization was contributed by the community (@shimoxi123) — thank you!

A few things stay language-independent on purpose:

• Your notes are never touched; only the app’s own text changes.
• Settings search still matches English synonyms, so typing theme finds the appearance card in any language.
• Slash commands match both the localized label and the English name, so /table works everywhere.

Right-to-left languages

Notes written in Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian lay out correctly regardless of the interface language — see Right-to-left text. The interface itself is not yet offered in a right-to-left language; the sidebar can be docked on the right (Settings → Appearance) if that suits your reading direction better.

Adding a language

Translations live in the repository as one YAML file per language (locales/en.yml, locales/zh-CN.yml), loaded by rust-i18n. To add one, copy en.yml to locales/<code>.yml, translate the values (keys stay as they are), and open a pull request — no code changes are needed for the strings themselves, though a new language should be checked in the app for text that no longer fits its control (Chinese ran narrower than English; a long Latin language may not).
