Millions of people in Japan cannot read a government broadcast fast enough to act on it. SHINDO is written natively in English, Japanese and Spanish — not translated after the fact.
Every alert tier, every hazard screen, Nazu, the onboarding and the AI explanations are authored in all three languages and reviewed by people who live here. Switch at any time in Settings; the alert you receive during a warning arrives in the language you chose.
Short, imperative, the same in all three languages. During the seconds that matter we do not explain; we tell you what to do. The explanation comes after.
After each event SHINDO's AI summarises what JMA observed — epicentre, depth, intensity, tsunami status — directly in English, Japanese or Spanish. It is labelled as AI, and the official figures sit beside it.
The push, the Lock Screen countdown and the Dynamic Island, in your language.
Tsunami zones, JMA weather warnings, river forecasts, typhoon tracks — each with JMA's own Japanese term shown alongside, so you learn the words you will hear on TV.
Nearest designated shelters with their Japanese names and the phrases to ask for help.
The companion and the first-run guide speak your language too.
Chinese and Korean are the next candidates. We will add a language only when we can review it properly, not by machine translation alone.
Hazard screens always show JMA's Japanese term next to the translation. Full dual-language display is planned.
Yes — SHINDO was built by a Spanish-speaking studio in Tokyo. Spanish is a first language of the app, not an afterthought.
