Glento Now Speaks 13 Languages
Most of the people who use Glento don't live in the United States. Plenty of them have been using it in English anyway, reading their own tasks in their own language next to buttons and quadrant names in someone else's.
That changes today. Glento is now available in 13 languages.
The short version
- Nine new languages: Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Polish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, joining English, Spanish, German and French.
- The AI follows your language too: quadrant suggestions, Brain Dump, Daily Focus and your Weekly Review.
- Quadrant names chosen for each language, short enough for a widget and natural to read.
- Also new in 5.3: rename the four quadrants, with a style or your own words.
- Fixed on Android: long text in Brain Dump no longer draws its lines on top of each other.
- On iPhone, Android and the web app.
Nine new languages
The app is now fully translated into:
- Português (Brasil)
- Italiano
- Русский
- Polski
- Bahasa Indonesia
- Tiếng Việt
- 日本語
- 한국어
- 简体中文
They join English, Español, Deutsch and Français, which Glento has spoken since 4.3.
Every screen, every button, every hint and every notification. The quadrant names, the widgets on your home screen, onboarding, settings and the upgrade screen too.
It follows you
Glento picks up your phone's language automatically. If you'd rather use a different one, open Settings → Language and choose. The app switches instantly, no restart, and everything the AI writes from then on is in your new language. A Weekly Review that's already written stays as it is; the next one follows your choice.
Your language choice carries through to the parts that talk back:
- AI quadrant suggestions explain their reasoning in your language.
- Brain Dump sorts what you say or type and writes the tasks in your language.
- Daily Focus and your Weekly Review coaching arrive in your language, using your language's quadrant names.
- Voice dictation listens in your language wherever your phone supports it.
Dates, times and numbers follow your language's conventions too, so a Monday in Japanese looks like a Monday in Japanese.
Quadrants that sound like home
The Eisenhower Matrix travels well, but its labels don't translate word for word. We chose each language's quadrant names to be short enough for a widget, natural to read, and clearly different from the button that deletes a task. In Brazilian Portuguese that's Fazer agora, Agendar, Delegar, Não fazer. In Japanese, すぐやる, 計画する, 任せる, やらない. In Polish, Zrób teraz, Zaplanuj, Deleguj, Nie rób.
If a word in your language reads oddly, tell us. We read every message.
And now you can rename them
5.3 also lets you rename the four quadrants: pick a style, or type your own names, and your Weekly Review uses them too. That one gets its own post.
Also fixed
On Android, typing a long list into Brain Dump could make the lines draw on top of each other once the text wrapped. They now sit on their own lines.
On iPhone, Android and the web
The new languages are in the latest version of Glento on the App Store and Google Play, and in the web app at app.glento.ai. Update the app and it will follow your phone's language, or pick one in Settings.
Nothing else changes. Your tasks, your subscription and your data stay exactly where they were.
Thank you
Every one of these languages is here because people were already using Glento in them, in English. This one's for you.
