Hi @serial02, thank you for reporting!

• I believe that the error message about the notification is harmless. In order to get the notifications you need to allow them by clicking the warning on the top left or enabling Allow Permissions in the Web section of the preferences window and restarting the app.
• Translations of the app and webpage are different. In your case, I assume that we don't have the corresponding translations. We can make sure if you could paste here the output of localectl command. We have pt-br translations as you can see here. You can either contribute if you want to see the translations regarding your language. Otherwise, maybe we can rename pt-br to pt if that's convenient for the Portuguese folks which I can't tell...

Hello @eneshecan

As for the pop-up messages received, they appear normally in the gnome window in the center of the screen at the top normally.

Now the issue at hand is the sound receipt of the (received message) not working.

• Application and web page translations are different. In your case, I assume we don't have the corresponding translations. We can be sure if you paste the output of the localectl command here. We have en-us translations as you can see here . You can contribute if you want to see the translations referring to your language. If not, maybe we could rename pt-br to pt if that's convenient for the Portuguese, which I can't say...

As for the translations, I will see what I can contribute when possible.

Thank you very much for your attention and much success to all!

And I cannot reproduce the error messages with flatpak on my Debian VM. Probably, those are harmless as we don't depend on the canberra-gtk-module. Closing this issue now, please open a new one or advise the existing ones about the other specific issues.
