HI, I am using a multisig scheme with 3 seeds in different languages. It works on electrum wallet. For example: one seed in portuguese, another seed in italian and other seed in czech.... But in my SeedSigner just seeds in english are available.. Thank you!

Thank you for noting this issue, and you are correct about only mnemonics in english are supported at this time.

We've discussed this at some length on the telegram group today.

I don't have a plan at this time for what to do, but it would be possible to support this, with the caveat that it might be a really bad idea to support mnemonics from non-english words lists knowing that as a best practice, many other wallets have specifically chosen not to.

I'd argue that it's good to be able to recover existing wallets from non-english words lists, but that its bad to allow creating new wallets this way.
