Languages¶
Octa's interface, menus, dialogs, the status bar, the SQL and multi-search panels, the right-click menus, and the Settings dialog (including its hover tooltips), can be shown in any of 13 languages.
Change it under Settings → Appearance → Language. The switch is live: the interface updates on the next frame, with no restart.

Good to know¶
- Machine-generated translations. The non-English catalogs are machine-translated and may be refined over time. English is the master; anything not yet translated falls back to the English string rather than showing a blank or a key.
- What stays in English on purpose. Technical identifiers are not translated, so they read the same in every language: format names (Parquet, JSON, …), database engine names, theme names (Nord, Dracula, …), schema-export targets, and low-level reader error messages.
- Number formatting is separate. The decimal mark and digit
grouping are controlled by Number style (English
1,234.56vs European1.234,56) in Settings → Table View, independent of the UI language.
Scripts not yet offered¶
Only Latin-script languages whose accented characters the bundled font already covers are available. Cyrillic, CJK (Chinese / Japanese / Korean), and right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew) are out of scope for now: they need bundled fonts and, for RTL, layout work that Octa does not yet do.
