Benji MauerI’m deeply enraged by the lack of native language support for Haitian Creole on iOS and Android. On iOS, though it does the right thing and provides Haitian Creole as a top level language (ht), it’s basically a localization of French, not transliterated Haitian Creole. On Android, even though Haitian Creole is an ISO language code, it’s not even an option. You can only select French, then a localization for Haiti. How can I select Esperanto but not Haitian Creole? <a href="https://social.coop/tags/languageaccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#languageaccess</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a>
