+## In your language
+
+The screens, the editor and the app speak English (US and UK), Dutch, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and
+Polish. ESP Screens takes Home Assistant's language and uses its words, so a door says what it says in the Home
+Assistant app. Settings → Language & region picks another language, the clock and how numbers are written, for every
+screen at once. Most languages still need someone who speaks them to check the texts:
+[Translating ESP Screens](docs/TRANSLATING.md) says how, and how to add a language.
