The wallet speaks ten more languages

DigiByte is used all over the world, and until now the wallet only spoke English.

You can now choose Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Russian or Filipino from Settings → Language. Each is listed in its own script, because a menu written only in English is no use to someone who doesn't read English.

These translations are new and have not been checked by native speakers. The wallet says so when you pick one, and links to Settings → Report a bug. If something reads wrong — especially any warning about your recovery phrase or your coins — please tell us. Those sentences are the ones we most want a second pair of eyes on, because a softened warning is the kind of mistake that costs somebody their money.

For now the translated screens are the ones you see while setting up a wallet. The rest of the app is still English while we work through it, so you'll see a mix until that's done.

New wallets start on fresh keys

Setting up now always creates a new wallet. An older wallet's funds are brought across afterwards from Settings → Recovery, rather than restored over the top.

That's a security decision, not a tidier menu.

Restoring an old phrase brings its keys with it, including very old ones whose public keys are already visible on the blockchain — either written directly into an old-style payment, or revealed the first time that address was spent from. Those are the keys most exposed to future advances in computing. Creating a new wallet and transferring your coins moves them onto fresh addresses whose keys have never been published.

Nothing is lost. Your old recovery phrase still recovers your funds, and the transfer flow is in Settings under Recovery.

Two recovery fixes

  • A recovery that deliberately kept coins back to protect your DigiAssets no longer reports itself as having failed.
  • When the lookup service listed the same coin twice, the wallet could build a transaction that spent it twice — which the network rejects outright, failing the whole recovery for a reason that pointed nowhere useful.

Known and not yet finished

  • DigiAssets are kept safe during a transfer and their fees reserved, but moving them to the new wallet is still manual.
  • Screens outside wallet setup are still English in every language.
