Language Settings

Change the app interface language including full RTL support for Hebrew

Notesmakr supports 14 languages for the app, plus a System Default option that follows your device. Choose the one that matches your native language or your study goals.

Language settings page with English selected and the other languages listed below it

Changing Your Language

Open the Settings tab

Tap Settings, the fifth tab: it sits in the bottom bar on a phone and in the sidebar on iPad.

Open Language

In the My Account section, tap "Language". The Select Language page opens.

Tap the language you want

You'll see System Default plus 14 languages. Each card shows the language's own name, a flag and a short caption. The selected card is filled teal with a check mark.

See it apply

A spinner shows on the card for a moment, then a "Language changed to ..." message appears. The app updates straight away, with no restart, no confirmation dialog and no Save button.

If the change fails, you'll see "Couldn't change the language. Please try again." and your previous language stays selected.

What Language Settings Control

App interface

Menus, buttons, settings screens, navigation labels and messages all switch to the language you choose.

Generated content

Notesmakr sends your app language along when you generate flashcards, so the flashcards follow it.

Right-to-Left (RTL) Support

Hebrew (עברית)

Choosing Hebrew switches the whole app to right-to-left: text runs right to left and the layout mirrors, so menus, buttons and back arrows move to the opposite side. This works on iPhone, iPad and Android.

Keeping Your Language on Other Devices

When you're signed in, your language choice is saved with your account and restored when you sign in on another device.

Mixed-Language Usage

You can create notes in any language regardless of your interface language. For example, you could keep the app in English while studying French vocabulary notes, or use the Hebrew interface with English study materials. Your annotations can be in any language too.

Best Practices

Using System Default

  • Best for: people whose device is already set to a supported language
  • Advantage: nothing to configure, and it follows your device if you change it

Setting a specific language

  • Best for: people who want the app in one language whatever the device is set to
  • Example: a device in English while you prefer the Hebrew interface

Switching languages

  • Change it any time without losing data
  • Your existing notes stay as they are
