Language support
NSS Background Remover is written in English. This page says exactly how far the other 4 languages currently get, because a list of flags that promises more than it delivers is worse than no list at all.
The one language the site is in
🇬🇧 English — every page, every tool, every guide, every error message. If you are reading this, you are getting the complete site. The tools themselves care nothing for language: images and video are processed in your own browser, and a photograph has no locale.
The 4 languages that are partly written
Each of these has a complete phrase catalogue in the codebase. What it does not yet have is code calling it: today exactly one part of the interface reads a translation — the cookie consent banner — which is why the numbers below are so lopsided. They are counted from the catalogue files, not estimated.
| Language | Code | Phrases written | Shown to you today |
|---|---|---|---|
| Español | es | 208 | 13 (the cookie banner) |
| Deutsch | de | 208 | 13 (the cookie banner) |
| Português | pt-BR | 208 | 13 (the cookie banner) |
| 日本語 | ja | 208 | 13 (the cookie banner) |
Long-form writing — the guides, the blog, the help centre — is authored in English and is not in any catalogue, so it is not counted above and would not translate even once the interface does.
Why there is no language switcher
There used to be one. It offered five languages, saved your choice in a cookie and reloaded the page — and one component in the whole codebase could respond to it, so choosing Español translated the cookie banner and nothing else. A control that promises five languages and delivers one banner is not a partial feature; it is a claim you cannot check until after you have trusted it. So it was taken down rather than left up.
The cookie approach was also the wrong shape for a second reason. With the language in a cookie, every version of a page has the same address, so a search engine only ever sees one of them — the versions that were supposed to reach people searching in their own language could never be found by them.
What comes back, and how
The replacement is agreed and shared across every Novus site: the language goes in the URL, not in a cookie. English keeps the addresses it already has — no redirects, nothing re-indexed — and each other language gets its own path segment (/es/, /de/, /pt/, /ja/), so every version has an address that can be linked, shared and found.
Those addresses are not live yet, and this page will not link them until they are. Typing one today gives you a page not found, which is the honest result — better than a link that appears to work and silently serves English. When it lands it will be in the changelog.
Using the tools in the meantime
Nothing here is gated on language. Every tool runs in your browser on your own files, the controls are icon- and preview-led, and your images never leave the device. If a label is unclear in English, that is a fault worth reporting — tell us which one at bgremover@novusstreamsolutions.com, and see the help centre for step-by-step guides.
