Hello. Hallo. Grüessech. Bonjour. Ciao. Hola. Cześć. 你好. こんにちは. Halo.
Hello everyone,
I’ve just pushed DockFlare v3.0.8, and this is a pretty special one.
I’m calling it the Babelfish Update, as a small nod to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It felt like the right name for a release focused on language, accessibility, and making DockFlare easier to use for more people around the world.
What started as issue #318 grew into a much bigger milestone than I originally expected.
With this release, DockFlare now supports 9 additional languages across the Web UI, the Help Center documentation, and the project website as well.
This was a major piece of work, but one I felt was worth doing properly.
Highlights
- Full localization support across the DockFlare Web UI
- Help Center docs fully updated and translated
- Project website fully updated and translated
- New global language selector in the top navigation bar
- Safe English fallback when a translation is missing
- Performance fix for the Waitress connection issue that could cause long page stalls
What’s New
Multi-language support across DockFlare
The DockFlare interface is now available in 9 additional languages, covering the dashboard, settings, dialogs, and the rest of the web UI.
The goal here was not just to translate the obvious parts, but to make the entire experience feel complete and consistent.
Help Center and website translations
Alongside the UI, all Help Center guides were updated and translated too.
The project website was also fully refreshed and translated into the same languages, so the public-facing experience now matches the application much more closely.
Language selector
A new global language selector has been added to the top navigation bar, making it easy to switch languages on the fly.
DockFlare remembers the selected language during the session, so navigation stays consistent.
English fallback
If a localized string or page is not available, DockFlare will safely fall back to English.
That avoids broken pages, missing content, and awkward dead ends while keeping the experience reliable.
Fixed
- Resolved a Waitress connection exhaustion issue that could cause the UI to stall or hang for around 30 seconds after clicking through several pages.
This should make the interface feel much smoother and more stable during normal use.
Special Thanks
A special thank you to @netesheng for helping kick off and inspire this work.
Final Note
This is one of the biggest usability updates DockFlare has had so far.
Making DockFlare more accessible to an international community has been on my mind for a while, and v3.0.8 is a big step in that direction.
Thanks again to everyone using DockFlare, opening issues, sharing feedback, and helping shape the project.
Some parts of the translations were assisted by Google Translate and DeepL. If you notice anything inaccurate, awkward, or unclear in your language, I’d really appreciate your feedback or a correction suggestion. Community input will help improve and refine the translations over time.

Security Fixes
This release also includes a dependency security refresh across both the frontend and Python stack.
At a high level, vulnerable dependencies were updated, lockfiles were refreshed, and the current dependency set was re-audited so there are no known vulnerabilities remaining in the dependency set shipped for this release.
For the full breakdown of the updated packages and technical details, see the CHANGELOG.md.
Happy tunneling and cheers,
Christian
