# An interface that speaks Polish


If you read the glossary in Polish, this week's change is the one you have been waiting for. If you read it in English, you will not notice a thing. That is usually the sign of a job done properly.

**The menu says what it means.** Until now a Polish page showed Polish definitions inside an English frame. The navigation read Topics, News, Articles, Syllabi, Trainings; it now reads Tematy, Aktualności, Artykuły, Sylabusy, Szkolenia. The links behind those words also lead to the Polish [topics](/pl/topics/) and [training](/pl/trainings/) pages instead of dropping you back into English halfway through a click.

**Dates and labels the way you write them.** "19 October 2026" has become "19 października 2026", including the access date that sits inside the ready-made citation. The editorial line under a definition now says "opublikowany" rather than "published", the footer offers "Polityka prywatności", and the training directory's column headers — provider, region, delivery, certifications — are in Polish as well. The same goes for the headings on topic pages and the labels in the syllabus and training tables.

**Why only Polish, for now.** Honesty first: the other sixteen languages still wrap their translated content in an English interface. Their definitions and articles are translated; the frame around them is not. I would rather finish one language properly than push a machine translation through seventeen interfaces and call that finished. If you read the glossary in a language whose interface still feels foreign, tell me which one and it moves up the queue.

That is the whole update — unremarkable in English, and a different site if Polish is how you read testing. If anything in Polish still sounds like English, that is not a matter of taste, it is a bug. Send it my way.
