Sealed in your language

The languages

Sealed speaks 18 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, Indonesian, Polish, Dutch, Thai and Vietnamese.

The screens you need most are translated with everything else: the recovery key steps and the warnings before anything is deleted.

How it picks a language

The vault uses the first language in your iPhone’s list that it speaks. If none of them is one of its languages, it uses English.

To change it, change your iPhone’s list. In Settings, tap General, then Language & Region, and add or reorder languages, as Apple’s guide to language and region describes.

Dates, times and file sizes follow your region settings on the same screen. So the time of your last backup, or the size of a video, reads the way you are used to seeing it. You can travel with the phone set to one language and a different region, and both are respected.

Right to left

In Hebrew and Arabic, screens mirror: the back button, the tab bar and lists read from the right.

In Hebrew and Arabic the app reads right to left, while the passcode keypad keeps its digits left to right.

The digits on the keypad, the pattern pad and the combination locks are physical objects. A phone keypad looks the same in every country, so they stay as they are.

What stays the same in every language

• Your own words. Names, notes and records are sealed as you typed them. Names, notes and the fields of a record are sealed with your vault key too, not just the photos.
• Names the vault makes. Names Sealed makes when you add something, such as a scan’s name, are written in the language of that day and are not translated later.
• The recovery key. It is letters and numbers in groups, the same in any language. The recovery key is letters and numbers in groups of 5, joined by dashes: 55 or 60 characters, depending on when the vault was made.
• Product names, such as Sealed Pro, stay in English.

Typing in your own script

A record can carry notes and tags, typed as one comma-separated line. Record tags split at a comma, including the commas a keyboard types in Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.

If a sentence reads wrong

Translations are only as good as the last person who read them. If a word looks off in your language, write to us and say which screen. support@loopware.app

Where Sealed helps, and where it doesn’t

It helps you use the whole vault, warnings and recovery steps included, in the language you read best. 18

It doesn’t do these things:

• Translate what you write. Names, notes and the fields of a record are sealed with your vault key too, not just the photos.
• Rename what it named before. Names Sealed makes when you add something, such as a scan’s name, are written in the language of that day and are not translated later.
• Pick a language of its own. It follows your iPhone’s list; text size and spoken feedback follow the phone too, as the large text and VoiceOver page explains.
