Each language has songs of its own, recorded in that language. When we say how many there are, we count songs: we never multiply the catalogue by the number of languages to make it look bigger.
We write the translation layer and the sounds-like layer for each pair ourselves, and they're recent. If you find something that doesn't sound right in your language, write to us: that's exactly what we want to hear before anyone else reads it.
Leave us your email and we'll write to you the day the app is available to download.
