 # harbour-tide
 
-Previsioni di marea **universali** per Sailfish OS — client nativo Silica con
-motore armonico locale (nessuna API di maree: calcolo offline, per sempre).
+**Universal tide predictions** for Sailfish OS — native Silica client with a
+local harmonic engine (no tide API: offline computation, forever).
 
-## Funzionalità
+## Features
 
-- **Motore armonico a 7 costituenti** (M2, S2, N2, K1, O1, P1, K2):
-  `h(t) = Z₀ + Σ Aᵢ·cos(ωᵢt + φᵢ)`, calcolato localmente
-- **16 porti noti** con costanti realistiche (Italia + Londra, New York,
+- **7-constituent harmonic engine** (M2, S2, N2, K1, O1, P1, K2):
+  `h(t) = Z₀ + Σ Aᵢ·cos(ωᵢt + φᵢ)`, computed locally
+- **16 known ports** with realistic constants (Italy + London, New York,
   San Francisco, Tokyo, Sydney, Honolulu)
-- **Ricerca libera delle città**: geocoding OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) con
-  fallback su dataset locale offline; le costanti arrivano dal porto noto
-  entro 222 km, altrimenti da una stima sintetica da lat/lon (etichettata)
-- **Card "porto più vicino"** in evidenza quando si apre una città cercata
-- **Grafico 24/48/72 h** con alte/basse maree marcate e orari, tap per
-  altezza in un punto
-- **Fase lunare e alba/tramonto** calcolati
-- **Italiano e inglese** (selettore lingua nelle impostazioni, applicata al
-  riavvio; catalogo `.qm` nel data dir dell'app)
-- **Preferenze salvate**: lingua, porto preferito (aperto all'avvio e
-  mostrato sulla cover), unità (m/ft), intervallo del grafico
+- **Free city search**: OpenStreetMap geocoding via Photon with offline
+  fallback on the local dataset; constants are taken from the known port
+  within 222 km, otherwise from a synthetic lat/lon estimate (labelled)
+- **"Nearest port" card** highlighted when opening a searched city
+- **24/48/72 h chart** with high/low tides marked with times, tap for the
+  height at a given point
+- **Moon phase and sunrise/sunset** computed
+- **Italian and English** (language selector in settings, applied on app
+  restart; `.qm` catalogue in the app data dir)
+- **Saved preferences**: language, preferred port (opened at startup and
+  shown on the cover), unit (m/ft), chart range

-## Limiti noti
+## Known limitations
 
-- Le costanti dei porti sono sintetiche ma realistiche; la stima da lat/lon
-  non distingue bacini chiusi (Mediterraneo) da oceano aperto.
-- Precisione di un vero modello globale (FES2014/TPXO9): ~10–20 cm in oceano
-  aperto; il motore è predisposto a ricevere le costanti da griglia.
-- Non per navigazione.
-- La lingua si applica al riavvio dell'app.
+- Port constants are synthetic but realistic; the lat/lon estimate does not
+  distinguish closed basins (Mediterranean) from open ocean.
+- Accuracy of a real global model (FES2014/TPXO9): ~10–20 cm in open ocean;
+  the engine is ready to receive grid constants.
+- Not for navigation.
+- Language is applied on app restart.
