Change WhatThePort’s app language
Choose English, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese or Ukrainian during setup, in Settings, or from the terminal.
WhatThePort’s native Mac interface is available in eight languages:
| Language | Name in the picker | Code |
|---|---|---|
| English | English | en |
| German | Deutsch | de |
| French | Français | fr |
| Spanish | Español | es |
| Simplified Chinese | 简体中文 | zh-Hans |
| Hebrew | עברית | he |
| Japanese | 日本語 | ja |
| Ukrainian | Українська | uk |
Choose during setup or later
On the first onboarding screen, use the Language picker. The interface changes immediately, so you can continue setup in that language. Later, open Settings → General → Language to change it again.
System default uses the first supported language in your Mac’s preferred language list, with English as the fallback. Traditional Chinese is not treated as Simplified Chinese. Hebrew uses a right-to-left layout.
Set the app language from the terminal
Once the wtp command is installed through onboarding or Settings → General → Terminal, show the current preference:
wtp language
For example, switch the app to Japanese:
wtp language ja
Or return to your Mac’s preferred language:
wtp language system
Use any code from the table above. The terminal’s ? help screen also shows the app language.
What changes, and what stays the same
Labels, settings, onboarding, menus, alerts and accessibility copy are translated. Project names, branches, paths, commands and session identifiers remain exactly as they are. Changing language does not stop or restart your development servers.
The wtp terminal interface stays in English, including command help and JSON field names. The website is also in English; its Translations section previews the actual native onboarding screen in each language.
The translations are open source. If a phrase could be clearer, suggest a correction on GitHub. See the localization notes for resource files and testing details.
