[p]Hey everyone! [/p][p]We’ll be performing server maintenance on September 22nd from 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM PST to prepare for our next update. When servers come back online, the new subtitle and language support features will officially go live.[/p][p][/p][p]Since launch, more than 50,000 of you from all around the world have joined Stella’s journey. We’ve heard a ton of great feedback from our global community, and one theme has come up again and again: language is the bridge for connection and storytelling. With this update, we want to make it easier than ever for every player to build a deeper, more seamless bond with Stella.[/p][p] [/p][h2]What’s New in This Update[/h2][h2][/h2][h3]1. Multilingual Subtitles (Video Calls Only)[/h3][p]
We’ve added subtitles to video call mode in 11 supported languages:
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian[/p]

• [p]Note: Text chat remains in English for now.[/p]

[p]You can enable subtitles in Settings or by hovering over the subtitle icon (bottom-right corner) for two seconds and selecting your language.[/p][p][/p][p]You can learn about the feature in this new video: [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]2. Multilingual Voice + Text Recognition[/h3][p]
Stella can now understand your voice or text input in all of the supported languages above. That means you can speak (or type) to her in your own language, and she’ll understand what you mean:  whether you’re in video call or text chat mode.[/p][p][/p][h3]3.
