Language & Theme

Language

Wait and Pounce is fully translated. Choose your language from the Language menu:

• English
• Français
• 中文 (Chinese)
• 日本語 (Japanese)
• Українська (Ukrainian)

Restart required

Changing language takes effect after a restart of the application. The app will prompt you.

Everything is translated — menus, settings, tooltips and the grid map are all localised.

Theme

Choose the colour scheme from View → Theme:

Theme	Behaviour
Light	Always light.
Dark	Always dark.
System	Follow the OS appearance (default).

The theme applies live to the whole UI, including the decodes table colours and the status bar. On macOS the window chrome is matched to the chosen appearance.

View options

The View menu also offers display tweaks that pair well with theming:

• Compact View (Ctrl+C) and Alternate View — denser layouts.
• Always on Top — keep the window above WSJT-X.
• Show All Messages (Ctrl+A) — show every decode, not just matches.
• Format Time submenu — show absolute Time or relative Age in the table.
