Languages, translations and transliterations

Download the libraries you need, and read a song in a script you know.

Vercast carries 20 languages, including right-to-left scripts. Three separate ideas are worth keeping apart.

Libraries

A library is the set of songs in one language, downloaded to your device. Choose them under Settings → Libraries and languages. Up to five at a time.

Translations

A translation is the same song in a different language, kept as its own linked song. Where one exists you can move to it from the reader.

Transliterations

A transliteration is the same words in a different script — the sounds of the original, written so you can read them. If you sing in a language you don't read, this is the one you want. You can hold up to five transliteration and five translation preferences.

Search understands transliterations. Typing a romanized title finds the song even though it's stored in its native script.

Right-to-left

Hebrew, Arabic and Urdu render right-to-left. The controls stay where your thumb expects them.
