What's new in Silvane 0.9.20: Chinese, selecting and merging
Silvane in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, a selection bar that keeps your search, merging several binders at once, and set pages on the web you can clone.
Silvane 0.9.20 comes in Chinese, lets you keep searching while you select, and merges several binders at once.
The app adds Simplified and Traditional Chinese, for 14 languages in all. Selecting cards no longer takes over the screen: the bar sits at the bottom, and the search, sort and filters keep working. You can merge two or more binders, or lists, in one go. On the web, set pages get the same Share, Clone and Select cards a binder has.
Here is each change, then the fixes that came with it.
Silvane in Chinese
Open Profile → Settings → Language and pick 简体中文 (Simplified Chinese) or 繁體中文 (Traditional Chinese).
With System picked, a phone set to Chinese gets the right script by itself: Traditional for a phone set to Traditional Chinese or to Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau, Simplified for any other Chinese. Both download the first time you pick them, like the other languages beyond English and Spanish, and then work offline. On Android, picking Chinese in Silvane also sets Silvane's language in the phone's per-app language setting.
Cards keep the language they were printed in. See Language for how each script is chosen.
