  • light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
  • support right-to-left languages
  • see the screenshots
• the translations are up to date, you can contribute on Weblate
• the preferences page has been updated:
  • you can see which engines are reliable or not
  • engines are grouped inside each tab
  • each engine has a description
• it is easier to report a bug of an engine
• but you can also disable the recording of the metrics on the server
