Your units, your language

A km/mi toggle on the splits table, distances that survive the round trip between units, and six more languages in the picker.

Two versions of the same idea this week: the site should meet you in the units and the language you already think in, rather than making you translate.

Splits in miles

If you think in miles, the splits table had nothing for you. Now it has a toggle — km or mi, on your own activity page and on public ones. Flip it and only the table refreshes; the rest of the page stays put.

Underneath that is a less glamorous fix that matters more. Distances are now stored one way, in kilometres, and converted on the way in and on the way out. Before, entering a distance in miles and reading it back could drift. Now the number you typed is the number you get, and the pace and speed built on top of it stay right whichever unit you prefer.

Six more languages

Italiano, Nederlands, 한국어, Svenska, Polski and Norsk joined the language picker. Same as the others — the whole site, not a translated front page with English underneath. The calculators, the guides, the labels, the validation messages.

Each of them also carries the line the site makes a point of repeating: the signed-in area is free of ads and trackers. It seemed worth saying in every language rather than only in English.

And error pages that look like the site

Hitting a page that does not exist used to dump you onto a bare browser default. There are now proper 404, 422 and 500 pages in the site's own design and in every language it speaks — including the 500, which is written to stand on its own so it still renders when the rest of the application cannot.
