v1.11.1August 2, 2026
  • FixedFixed the "Verify Translation" button hover state — text now turns dark on hover instead of staying green-on-gold, which was hard to read.

v1.9.0August 2, 2026

  • NewNew Output Format setting tailors translations for how you will use them — spoken, email, text message, social media, or general.
  • NewOptional emojis can now be woven into your translations, chosen to fit the tone and context of each message.
  • NewYou can now choose how the Enter key behaves — send, or add a new line — separately for the translation and chat views.
  • NewYour name in the header now shows your preferred nickname and opens your profile in one click, where you can manage your email, sign-in method, connect or disconnect Google, and set a password.
  • ImprovedThe former “Output Format” setting is now clearly labelled “Output Style” to sit alongside the new format options.
v1.7.1July 20, 2026
