Languages

Binder speaks 15 languages.

Binder follows the language your phone is already set to. If that language is bundled, the app is in it the first time you open it — no setting to find, nothing to download. You can override it at any time under Settings → App settings → Language.

How Binder picks your language

Your phone reports a language tag such as de-DE or pt-PT. Binder looks for that exact tag first, then for another region of the same language, then for the bare language. Portuguese from Portugal therefore lands on the Brazilian file rather than on English. If nothing matches, the interface stays English instead of showing you a half-empty screen.

Nothing ships half-finished

A language is only listed here once every string in it exists. Where a string is genuinely missing — because the app grew after the translation was written — that single line falls back to English rather than appearing blank, and the gap is visible above rather than hidden.

Arabic and right-to-left

Arabic text renders correctly, but the layout still runs left to right. Mirroring the interface properly is its own piece of work and is not done yet. It is written down as open, not quietly skipped.

Want Binder in your language?

Translating Binder is one file. Take en.json from the repository, translate the values — never the keys — and send it back. It becomes a language in the app, with its own name and flag in the picker.

Languages are bundled into the app, so a new language arrives with an app update rather than instantly.
