minus-squareScrollone@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoSee? This is why we shouldn’t use flags to represent languages. Go to Brazil, and I bet they use the Brazilian flag to represent the language they speak, not the Portuguese one. Go to Ireland, and you’ll see they use the Irish flag to represent the English language. In Switzerland, what flag should they use to represent Ladin? And what about Canada? They speak two official languages. The correct way to display languages is just their name or they ISO code. Using flags for languages is fundamentally wrong.
