Generalized English Translation

Hello Developers!

I have recently discovered your app and I am highly impressed! If I'm honest, I don't believe anything else on the market compares, especially when it comes to databases and the integrated functions available!

Perhaps my usage case is too varied. I have notes for data analysis, statistics, and code but I also need a visiual system to store marketing campaigns, look books, brand books, and catalogues. It's a big ask for a single system. I have tried them all: Notion, AFFiNE, Appflowy, Obsidian, and MANY more, yet none have all the features I need. Notion has come the closest but there have been blackouts, people losing their entire systems irretrievably, and it has started to flicker, pages disappearing and reappering. Not optimal! So I was elated to find your system seemed to respond to my needs.

However, I am highly visual and there are no videos to follow to really allow me to test the software. Okay. But the deeper I went, parts of the app, like the rollover text on the buttons is in Chinese! I respect it is a Chinese app. I am just hoping that you and/or the community can help complete the translation to 100% English.

Please accept my love letter to your app, I mean no disrespect! I will wait until you have gotten the time/resources to finalize the English translation. You have done amazing work here, and there is no reason, language aside, you aren't listed as a top choice for PKMs. So, I am hoping this is in the works. This is much too good an app to pass up!

Happy New Year 2026 from Canada to all!

      I've been using Siyuan for a while already and haven't noticed any issues with the english translation.

      Where exactly is this rollover tooltip you found? Might be easiest to create a report on github with a screenshot, there are a lot of contributors who are willing to help with changes.

      I have what can best be described as "zero-skills, but youthful exhuberance", so I can't help with much, but I and many like myself would be very happy to have a resource like this. I am learning as I go and trying to use what very liitle is available in English to do so. Anyway, I hope this can be prioritized. Thanks to all those willing to help!
