What languages does Nohemia come in? seven, and none of them is a translation of another.

Seven languages, on equal footing

English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese. Each one has the full almanac: the horoscopes, the moon pages, the tarot, stone and number entries, the encyclopedia, the guides. The app too, down to the labels on your settings. And this help center, which you are reading in one of those seven right now.

You can see it in the addresses. The same page lives under nohemia.com/en/, /fr/, /pt/, /es/, /it/, /de/ and /ja/, with a path translated each time: our moon page is /en/moon/, /fr/lune/, /ja/tsuki/. These are not variants of a parent page, they are seven pages answering one another.

Portuguese is a single one, and it serves both shores: its flavour is Brazilian, Brazil being by far the largest Portuguese-speaking country, and it reads just as well in Lisbon as in São Paulo.

Why no language is the original

Plenty of sites write in one language, then run the rest through a machine. We turned that down, because a language is not a coat of paint: every culture has its own vocabulary for the sky, its own reference authors, its own way of addressing a reader. A page translated word for word rings false by the second sentence, and you would hear it straight away.

So each language was written, then read back by someone who speaks it, page after page, down to the text on the buttons. The Japanese is not English in disguise, the German is not the French turned inside out. The spirit is the same everywhere; the word for word is not, and that is deliberate.

Switching language, and staying there

At the foot of every page, a small selector lists the seven languages under their own names. One click opens the home page of the language you picked, and you carry on from there: the whole menu, the sections and the addresses have changed language with you.

That choice is remembered. A small preference cookie keeps it for a year, and it follows you into the app when you sign in. Once you subscribe, your language can also be set from your account: it is saved on your profile and finds you again from one device to the next.

If you arrive without having chosen anything, the country you are connecting from serves as a hint. And when your language is not among the seven, the site shows in English: we would rather give you a language someone actually wrote than a translation nobody read back.

The calculations have no language

Your chart, your transits, your moon of the day, your life path: these are positions and dates, drawn from the ephemeris. They do not move from one language to the next. Going from English to Portuguese changes the words that tell them, never the degrees.

So you can use Nohemia from any country: everything happens in the browser, nothing to install, and the exact amount you will pay is shown at checkout before you confirm.

Frequently asked questions

How many languages, exactly?

Seven: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, German and Japanese. The almanac, the app and this help center exist in each one.

Which language is the site originally written in?

None of them. All seven were written, then read back in their own language, and none comes before the others. English is one language among seven, not the official version the six others were translated from.

My language is not on the list, what happens?

The site shows in English. We only announce a language on the day it has been written and read back: better a language you truly read than a machine translation rushed out unchecked.

Is the content identical in all seven?

The spirit, yes; the word for word, no. Each language has its own version, shaped to its astrological culture and its vocabulary for the sky, and a few pages exist only where they make sense.
