Languages
Dzejnik keeps two language choices apart. They are independent, and changing one never changes the other.
The language of the app itself — menus, buttons, settings, help text. Choose it with the flag button in the top bar, or under Options → Language.
Dzejnik can be used in:
- Polish
- English
- Spanish
- Esperanto
-
Interslavic, in one of three scripts:
- Latin
- Cyrillic
- Glagolitic
Interslavic is a single language listed with its three script variants. All three share one flag marker.
Changing the interface language updates the whole app immediately — no restart and no lag.
Note that the texts of the historical events are written in Polish and English only. If the interface is in another language and no translation exists for an event field, the English text is shown.
The languages the app may draw words from while you are learning. Choose them under Options → Mnemonic word languages. This is a multi-select — you can turn several on at once.
The available word languages are:
- Polish
- English
- Spanish
- Esperanto
- Interslavic (Latin)
Only the Latin edition of Interslavic ships as a word list, so Interslavic appears exactly once here — the Cyrillic and Glagolitic editions are for the interface only.
At least one language must stay selected. The default is Polish; the others are bundled but switched off, so a first launch never silently widens the search to hundreds of thousands of words.
When more than one word language is selected:
- the app picks a language first, with equal weight per language, and then picks a word inside it — so a large English list does not drown out a smaller Polish one;
- Learn dates suggests words from every selected language, each marked with its own language's flag;
- Learn the system draws from every selected language, and the question shows which language the word came from;
- Coverage combines the selected languages as the union of the years they cover.
A language is never substituted for another. If a language has no words for the selected system, it is not drawn from — it does not fall back to a different language's words.
The flag you see on a word always comes from the word's own language, never from the interface language. So with a Spanish interface and Polish and English word languages, a Polish word still shows the Polish flag.
