The current whisper model and setup works VERY well, but for non-native speaker who uses English professionally but his native language for other cases Murmur could benefit from a dedicated multi-lingual setup.

The reason to have a dedicated button is to reduce false positives on language detection by whisper which increase in rate on shorter sentences. This way the detection is English by default, and the refinement with the LLM. But still has the option to run (just dictation) with a non-English language. Since small LLMs are notoriously bad an non-English prompts I've chosen to purposefully NOT refine the non-English prompt with the LLM.

I already use this locally a lot, and works really well! Hope to merge it back into the root :).

Cheers, and thanks for this amazing repo which already had me cancel my WisprFlow subscription .
