This app is fully localized into English, Hebrew, and two dialects of German — Hochdeutsch and a mixture of Zurich and Basel dialects (approximately 64%–36%), labeled as “Schwiizerdütsch”

I picked the words for this app not based on predefined categories, usage frequency, or the fluency level to which the word might correspond, but on which words could be cleanly cut from the audio tracks. As a result, the word set turned out to be a bit odd, yet unique.

Every single sound used in the app, except for success.wav, error.wav, and completed.wav, was extracted from public domain recordings.
