Use Flow with multiple languages

French punctuation spacing

Adds narrow no-break spaces before ; : ? ! » and after «, except in developer or coding apps. A colon between digits (12:30, 1:1) or inside “://” is left unchanged.

Consecutive marks (?!, ??, !!) get one narrow no-break space before the group. Existing correct spacing stays unchanged.

Starting regional variants

Desktop starting choices follow your computer’s language and region: Canadian English in Canada; British English in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa; Swiss German in Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Chinese starts as Simplified for China, Singapore, Malaysia or a Simplified-script setting, and Traditional for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao or a Traditional-script setting. Other Chinese regions default to Traditional on desktop.

On iOS, a Canadian English language-and-region setting selects English - British, and Chinese without a region defaults to Simplified.

Desktop can offer “Try Canadian English” once when your computer’s region is Canada and you have not selected Canadian English. You must have English or English - British selected, or use Auto-detect with an English system language. If notification restrictions prevent the suggestion from appearing, it does not count as shown.

Mac and Windows

Select at least one language or Auto-detect; otherwise saving shows “Please select at least one language or turn on auto-detect”. There is no selection limit, but variants within a group still replace each other.

1. Open Settings → General in Wispr Flow.

2. Click Change beside Languages to open My languages.

3. Turn Auto-detect on, or off to select individual languages.

4. Select your languages if Auto-detect is off.

5. Click Save and close to apply your choices; changes are not saved before this click.

You can also open My languages from ? (Help) → Languages. Use the X beside a language in Selected to remove it.

Turning Auto-detect on clears the individual choices and disables language selection. Turning it back off before closing restores the choices you had when you turned it on; if there were none, choose a language before saving.

Search for any languages matches English names, native names and aliases without regard to capitalization. “hindi” or “हिन्दी” finds Hindi; “hindi”, “hinglish” or “romanized” finds Hinglish. Names or aliases beginning with your search appear before those containing it.

Previously used languages and English, Spanish and Chinese - Simplified appear first; the rest are alphabetical. Newly saved choices move to the front of your previously used languages.

With Auto-detect on, Selected shows “99 languages”, and the Settings row reads “Select the languages you speak for better accuracy”. Otherwise, the Settings row previews up to three names separated by “ · ”, or the first two followed by “and N more”. “No languages selected” means Flow does not recognize the saved choices.

Desktop choices follow your account and survive restarts. Opening Settings refreshes them from your account, including changes made on another device; an account with no selected languages uses Auto-detect.

Some signed-in Mac users who have not acknowledged the picker’s removal still see a globe on the Flow Bar. Clicking it acknowledges a one-time notice with a Manage languages path, then removes the globe. The notice can be delayed or suppressed by other notifications or notification restrictions.

iOS

Each tap saves immediately; there is no save step.

1. Open Settings in Wispr Flow.

2. Tap Set language under general.

3. Select your languages or Auto-detect; use search to filter by displayed name.

4. Close the language sheet.

Choosing Auto-detect replaces your selections; choosing a language removes Auto-detect. Removing every language restores Auto-detect. Flow keeps the order in which you choose languages.

The sheet lists selected languages first, then Auto-detect, then remaining languages alphabetically.

Android

Android has no Auto-detect entry. With nothing selected, Languages shows “No languages selected. Tap Add more to get started.” Save stays disabled until you select a language.

1. Open Settings in Wispr Flow.

2. Tap Languages.

3. Tap Add more to open Select languages.

4. Select your languages; Search languages filters by displayed name.

5. Tap Done to return to Languages; this does not save.

6. Tap Save to apply your choices to later dictations and return to Settings.

Tap a selected language on Languages to remove it, then tap Save. Back from Select languages returns to Languages; a second Back leaves without saving.

Android lists languages alphabetically and does not preserve your selection order. The Settings Languages row displays your saved choices separated by “ · ”.

“Speaking a different language?” on Mac and Windows

This notice appears after an eligible dictation, not simply at app startup. Choose Open language settings to adjust your selection; the notice does not name a detected language.

It requires a non-Auto-detect selection containing only languages from the recognition list above, their variants, or Hinglish. Selecting any other language disables the notice, even alongside a supported language.

These differences do not trigger it: Urdu/Hindi; Ukrainian, Belarusian, Kazakh, Macedonian, Tajik, Tatar or Bashkir/Russian; Cantonese/Chinese; Malay/Indonesian; and Hinglish/English or Hindi. These notice exceptions are separate from the two additional language checks described above.

Only one language-related notice can appear per day; this notice appears at most six times per device. Muting Tips and Suggestions suppresses it.

The first notice offers only Open language settings. Don’t show again becomes available after you close a notice once with its close button or Escape, or let three notices time out. Choosing it stops this notice permanently.
