PlayOverlay now speaks eight languages. The interface and the on-air graphics can both be shown in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, alongside English.

Languages

  • Eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), and Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil). The regional variants use the right wording for each region, including the football terms.
  • Pick a language on first launch. PlayOverlay suggests one based on your system, and you can change it any time under System Settings > Language. Your choice applies to both the operator dashboard and the on-air graphics, so a French match can go out with French phase names and labels.
  • Team names, abbreviations, and venues are always shown exactly as you type them.

The translations are machine-generated and have not been checked by native speakers, so some wording may read a little off, especially the on-air football terms. If you spot a mistake, please open an issue and it will get fixed.

Tidier settings

The settings menus were reorganised. Language, Scoreboard Clock, OBS Browser Source, and Keyboard Shortcuts now live in System Settings, each in its own collapsible panel. Window Settings keeps the key colour and the window controls. Nothing changed about how any of it works.

Install notes

Binaries are unsigned. On first launch:

  • Windows: if SmartScreen appears, click More info, then Run anyway.

  • macOS: unzip, move PlayOverlay.app to Applications, then if it is reported as damaged or unidentified run once in Terminal:

    xattr -cr /Applications/PlayOverlay.app
    
  • Linux: install the .deb with sudo apt install ./playoverlay*.deb or the .rpm with sudo dnf install ./playoverlay*.rpm.
