Use Keepresso in your language

Updated Jul 12, 2026 2 min

Keepresso is fully localized. Out of the box it follows your Mac's system language, and you can pick a specific language any time. Everything is translated, not just the menu: the Setup and Gaming & Streaming screens, notifications, VoiceOver labels, and the desktop widgets all speak the language you choose.

The fifteen languages

English, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

How to change the language

  1. Click the cup in the menu bar and open Preferences.
  2. Under General, find the Language picker.
  3. Choose a language, or leave it on Follow system to match your Mac.

You can also set the language on the Welcome screen the first time you launch Keepresso. Switching there relaunches the app in the language you picked, and the welcome comes back until you press Get Started, so you always confirm in the language you settled on.

What follows the system means

With Follow system selected, Keepresso reads the language order in System Settings, General, Language & Region, and uses the first one it supports. Change your Mac's language and Keepresso follows along on its next launch, with nothing to set here.

Frequently asked questions

Does Keepresso translate everything, or just the menu?

Everything. The menu, Preferences, the Setup and Gaming & Streaming windows, notifications, the VoiceOver labels for accessibility, and the desktop and Notification Center widgets are all localized.

Can I use a language that is not my system language?

Yes. Pick any of the fifteen languages from the Language picker in Preferences, regardless of your Mac's system language.

My language is not listed. What now?

Keepresso falls back to English for languages it does not yet ship. If you would like to see yours added, the project is open source, so translations are welcome on GitHub.
