CurTask works in English and Bahasa Melayu, in a light or a dark theme. Both choices are saved to your account, so they follow you to other devices.

Step 1Choose your language
Choose Settings (the gear in the rail, bottom left), then Language. Under Interface language, choose English or Bahasa Melayu. The whole app switches at once.
This changes the app's buttons and messages only. Each project's AI language, the language the AI writes its analyses in, is set separately for each project (see Set a project's AI language), and so is each import's OCR language. Quotes from papers always stay in their original language.
Tip: the sign-in and sign-up pages have their own EN and BM switch at the top.

Step 2Choose light or dark
In Settings, choose Appearance. Under Theme, choose:
- Match system: follows your computer's light or dark setting.
- Light
- Dark
Step 3Or change them by typing
Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open the command palette and type "theme" or "language". Choose, for example, Switch to the dark theme or Change language to Bahasa Melayu, and press Enter. See Find your way around.
