Languages

Set your languages in Settings → General → Languages. Search by language name, native name, or code, select the languages you use, then choose Primary beside the one you speak most often. At least one language must remain selected.

First run follows your computer

On first run, if your computer’s preferred language is supported and is not English, Nock makes it Primary and keeps English selected too. This happens only while the language list is still at its untouched default. Once you choose languages yourself, Nock will not replace your choices. You can change them later without restarting.

What your language changes

• Answers: Nock generally follows the language you use in your latest message. When there is no language cue, it uses your Primary language. Code, commands, file names, and app names stay as written.
• Chat screens: The notch chat, chat window, Chat Manager, question cards, and Inbox have translated labels in Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, German, French, Korean, Hindi, and Arabic. These translations are machine-made and have not been reviewed by native speakers. Settings, onboarding, menus, and Nock’s own notices remain in English. The chat labels follow your Primary language; speech recognition uses the selected languages and the active speech service, as described below.
• Speech recognition: When supported by the selected service, one selected language is used as the recognition language. With several selected, some cloud routes can detect and follow language switches; others use the Primary language. This depends on the provider and, for some routes, whether you use your own key. Apple’s on-device recognizer uses Primary and its own language support; Nock’s local models support only the languages listed in Settings → Voice → On-device dictation.
• Nock’s voice: The voice used for replies depends on the speech service and available system voices. See On-device voice for local voice options.

Light dictation cleanup removes English filler words only when English is Primary; for other primary languages it only tidies spacing. See Voice settings, Local dictation, and Dictation polish.

If recognition uses the wrong language

1. Open Settings → General → Languages.
2. Search for and select the language you want to use.
3. Choose Primary beside it. New answers use it when your message does not indicate another language; new recordings use the updated selection.

If words are still inaccurate, check the active speech provider and local model status in Voice settings.
