Dialect 1.2.0
Localization
Dialect is now translated into seven more languages.
- French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Greek translations throughout the app.
- The T9 matching engine itself understands Cyrillic and Greek names, not just Latin ones — a Russian or Greek contact's name matches correctly regardless of your phone's language.
- On a Russian- or Greek-language phone, the dialpad's own key labels show the right alphabet (2 АБВГ, 2 ΑΒΓ, etc.) instead of English letters.
Quick Actions
Hold a number to call someone, message someone, or launch an app instantly.
- Long-press any unassigned digit to set it up: call a contact, message a contact, or open an app.
- Once assigned, holding that digit again performs the action right away — no typing required.
- Manage your shortcuts from Settings → Quick Actions, where you can reassign or remove any of them at any time.
Also in this release
- Dialect is now MIT licensed.
- The empty-buffer "recent apps" list now ranks by how recently you used an app, not how many times — something you opened yesterday now outranks something you use often but haven't touched in weeks.
- The default call/message service picker in Settings is hidden when you only have one service installed, since there's nothing to choose between.
