Changing Blatero’s app language now updates the macOS menu bar immediately, without restarting the app.
Menu actions, live status messages, the Handoff menu, and the Settings window title now follow the selected app language.
New
Blatero’s interface language picker now includes Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Polish, matching the website and supported speech languages.
The onboarding flow, core language controls, and live menu states are localized in all eight languages.
Improved
App language and spoken language remain independent, so an English Mac can keep the Blatero interface in English while Isla listens for Dutch speech.
The website’s Isla demo, waveform, polish sweep, ambient background, Command Mode visual, and section reveals now remain animated across browser motion settings.

Signed Blatero 1.0.2 release for macOS.
Blatero 1.0.2 makes spoken Mac commands natural, self-finishing and fully visible.
New
Say requests such as “I want you to open Safari on nu.nl”; Blatero now recognizes validated web addresses and opens them in the named browser.

Isla shows whether the microphone hears you, the live recognized words, the exact bounded action, and the final result.
Improved
Command failures now keep the complete reason and the recognized transcript visible instead of truncating the useful part.
An eight-second no-speech timeout explains when no usable command reached the microphone.
Browser launches use a more reliable macOS application lookup, including system-provided Safari installations.
