5 languages on the shared list
Languages
Sonic Weaver is published in English. Novus Stream Solutions, which publishes it, works to a shared list of 5 languages, and this page shows both: what this site renders today, and what the shared list contains. It is generated from that list rather than typed out, so it cannot fall behind it.
Read in your language
Pick a language and every page shows its words in it, on your device: first from our own translations, then, for anything we have not translated yet, from your browser's own on-device translator where it has one (Chrome on a computer). Nothing you read is sent anywhere to be translated. Listen to this page reads the translated words in a voice for that language. The address stays the same, so this is a reading aid, not the language addresses described below: search engines still see the English pages until those exist.
16 languages besides English. Brand names stay as they are, and the editors and the live stream stay in English for now.
Where each language lives
A language belongs in the URL, never in a cookie. A cookie that changes the page while the address stays the same means a search engine only ever sees one version, so there is nothing to find in any other language, and a shared link opens in whatever language the recipient last chose rather than the one it was written in. English is deliberately unprefixed: / and /en serving the same page would be a duplicate of every URL on the site.
| Language | Tag | Address | Status here |
|---|---|---|---|
| English | en | / | Served now, from every URL without a language prefix. |
| Español | es | /es | Not yet rendered here. The URL above is reserved by the shared contract, not published. |
| Deutsch | de | /de | Not yet rendered here. The URL above is reserved by the shared contract, not published. |
| Português | pt-BR | /pt | Not yet rendered here. The URL above is reserved by the shared contract, not published. |
| 日本語 | ja | /ja | Not yet rendered here. The URL above is reserved by the shared contract, not published. |
What is not translated yet
Being plain about this is the point of the page. 4 of the 5 languages on the shared list : Español, Deutsch, Português, 日本語, have no pages on this host. There is no language switcher in the navigation and no partly translated page anywhere, because a switcher that changes nothing is worse than no switcher: it tells you the site speaks your language and then does not.
- Nothing on this site is machine-translated on the fly. If you reach a page in a language you did not ask for, that is your browser’s own translation feature, not this site, and Sonic Weaver has not checked what it says.
- The product itself does not depend on reading English: the editor and Studio are visual, every engine control shows a live preview of its effect, and an export never contains any of this interface. The written material (the help centre, tutorials, blog and glossary) is where the gap is real.
Languages in your own work
This page is about the language of the SITE, not the language of what you make with it. Those are unrelated: the lyric-video and text engines render whatever characters your fonts contain, in any script, and a video you export carries none of this interface with it.
Ask for a language
If you would use Sonic Weaver in one of the languages above, or in one that is not on the list, say so at visualizers@novusstreamsolutions.com. Knowing which languages people actually want is what decides the order they are done in, and there is no commitment to a date on this page because there is not one to make.
