Velorn v0.3.30
Velorn v0.3.30
Velorn v0.3.30 adds an extensible interface-localization system and the first broad Japanese-language experience across the editor's most-used workflows.
New
- Initial Japanese interface. Select
日本語inSettings > Languageto use Japanese across the project hub, editor shell, Timeline, Effects, Generate, Stock/Pexels, workflow setup, Settings, Export, and PNG image-sequence export. - Automatic locale detection and persistence. Velorn recognizes supported system/browser locales on first use and remembers the creator's selected language across restarts.
- Extensible language packs. Interface languages now load from a small manifest and JSON dictionaries, making it possible to add more languages without adding a new JavaScript dependency or hard-wiring each language into the application.
- Localization contributor guide. The new
docs/LOCALIZATION.mdguide documents how to register a language, translate interface keys, preserve technical identifiers, and run the localization checks.
Improved
- Safe English fallback. Missing translated strings fall back to English so language coverage can grow incrementally without exposing raw translation keys or making a workflow unusable.
- Resilient dictionary loading. Velorn waits for its English dictionary before rendering the application and provides a retry state if that required file cannot load.
- Protected technical values. Workflow names, model names, codecs, file paths, effect IDs, and keyboard bindings remain unchanged where translating them could break behavior or make troubleshooting harder.
Notes
- This is the initial Japanese localization. Portions of major workflows, along with lower-traffic and highly technical surfaces, still appear in English and can be translated incrementally.
- Switching languages does not rewrite existing project files, media, workflow identifiers, or generated content.
- Thank you to @ufotone for contributing the localization foundation and Japanese translation.
