more languages, more fixes 
earlier this month, we released multi-language support for r1, starting with 12 languages in addition to english. today, we’re thrilled to add 12 more, plus regional options for english and a fix for weather cards so that weather will always show in the correct unit for your country/region
what’s new?
more language options!
the new language options added today are:
- Bulgarian
- Czech

- Dutch
- English (Australia)
- English (United Kingdom)

we will continue to look into what additional languages we can add over time, so let us know your thoughts! and if you notice any translation errors anywhere, be sure to let us know and we’ll get them fixed.
what we fixed:
- weather units will now display in the correct format for your chosen language/region. for example, if your region is set to English (United States) it will show in Fahrenheit, but if set to English (United Kingdom) it will show in Celsius.
- we also fixed some translation errors that we discovered in some languages since the last update.
- alarms and reminders now respond in the appropriate language
- fix for the font sizing in Hindi
- fix to improve kanji handling in Japanese

Previous Updates:
16th Jan 2025 - rabbit r1 adds multi-language support 
Summary
welcome to 2025.
rabbit is starting the year as we mean to go on - r1 now supports multiple languages!
r1 now supports changing the default language, starting with 12 more language options in addition to english.
these languages are:
- Chinese (simplified)
- Chinese (traditional)
- French
- German
- Hindi
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
- Swedish
we intend to add more languages over time, so let us know what you’d like to see supported!
how does it work?
on the home screen, scroll up twice to enter the settings menu, where you’ll find a new option that says language. select it, and choose your new default language. after doing this, you’ll be able to speak to your r1 and have it speak back to you in the selected language, and the r1 texts and settings will also be localized.
if the accent doesn’t seem quite right with a generative voice, be sure to update your genvoice prompt in rabbithole to match.

other improvements and fixes:
- the 2024 holiday rabbits are now available in your r-cade collection! these special rabbits can’t be recycled and can’t be won in the capsule machine.
- we added a placeholder frame in magic gallery for images that are still generating. if you take a magic camera photo, then immediately go to magic gallery, you’ll see the placeholder appear until the image has finished generating.
enjoy, and be sure to keep sharing your thoughts and feedback with us!
