Flowlight 0.6.2

What's new in 0.6.2

Flowlight speaks ten languages.

English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, Español and Português.

• It follows your Mac by default. If your preferred languages include one Flowlight speaks, that is what it uses. For Chinese it tells Simplified from Traditional by script and region, so a Mac set to zh-TW or zh-HK gets Traditional rather than Simplified — the kind of mistake people notice immediately. A regional variant still finds its language: fr-CA gets French, pt-BR gets Portuguese.
• Or choose one in Settings ⌘, under General. It changes immediately rather than on next launch, because a language picker that needs a restart to show its work is one people assume is broken. When the choice is System, the row says underneath which language that actually turned out to be.
• Anything untranslated falls back to English, not to a blank or a dotted identifier. That is what keeps a partly-translated screen readable rather than broken.

This release covers the navigation, the settings and the common controls — the words on screen no matter which screen you are on. The longer explanatory passages follow next.
