Where the app appears
In Settings → General → General → Show app in, choose Menu bar only, Menu bar + Dock, or Dock only. The default is Menu bar + Dock. If the MacBook notch or other menu bar apps hide the icon, you can still open Settings from the Dock. The change applies immediately, without a restart.
Interface language
In Settings → General → General → Interface Language, pick System, Korean, or English. It defaults to System and is independent of the transcription language.
