The scrum master is not a product owner and shouldn't be providing scope or anything for that matter in tickets. No wonder agile is hated and dying, it's been corrupted beyond recognition by people who have no reading comprehension.

Before, since D and G are both before N ("nihongo") and J ("japanese")

Since we're using Unicode we sort by first on left to right or last letter on right to left languages by their code point

If everything is displayed in the same language then sort by the displayed language. You don't want to have to search for Spanish near the E letter because it's sorted by the original espanol in the background since that's not what you as the user sees.

It's Dutch uwu speak, but the real version would not be much better: "Oeps! De trein is stuk. Wij zijn heel hard aan het werk om dit te maken. Misschien kan je beter fietsen."

(Oops! The train is broken. We're working very hard to repair it. Maybe you'd be better off biking.)

No

Probably not so funny other way around hah

It’s like all the developers in the field got handed access to some IP dataset and they’re just looking for reasons to use it. Screw the users I guess?

Even worse when a version is actually different. I had to check the US prices in a store once, it decided "nah mate, your IP's not American, clearly you're a bloody idiot, here's your native version" and even when I manually changed the url to US English, as they did languages based on part of the path, it still decided clearly I must not know what I want. I couldn't even try to infer the price, as the product didn't exist on my version of the site.

And aside from that and language pet peeves, what if you're on Holiday? Or live in an area that speaks a lot of languages close together?

As Cousin Mose said, the language is in the header, the fact that some web devs decide the IP address is clearly a better way to figure out what language you want is insane

I have my Google Account set to English, but YouTube still autotranslates all video titles of newer videos to German for some reason...

That's just how locales work. When you set the language, you also get the associated date/time representation, unit system, etc

My pixel set to Australian English works fine in metric. I presume you chose British English where they use miles rather than kilometres, of course that works for me as I also want Australian spellings

We do both.

A) use the language set by the user in their os/browser B) switcher shows the language name in that language

Done, easy, etc. IMO the hard part are great translations and designs that work in languages where every word is a novel. And yet, here we are.

If you set your language on a website what’s the difference between them using the header versus using the selected language for fingerprinting?

I understand what you’re saying but even I, a person who splits all their traffic between three different VPN tunnels and goes way too far with DNS blocking don’t really care about fingerprinting based on language.

If the person really cares so much they can set the browser language back to English then manually change it on each website they visit. We shouldn’t punish everyone on such a silly privacy preference.

Edit: Yeah of course just downvote me, don’t bother to engage in any kind of dialog.

Have you used the web and/or VPN lately? I send the language header but am bombarded by content in the wrong language all the time.

Be that as it may, I honestly don’t see what difference that would make in regards to OP’s point…

OP said that it's from the Fairphone website. The website has separate settings for language and region, language is shown in English and in the language itself, i.e. "Dutch / Nederlands", region is shown in the current language. So the website is actually doing what OP wants.

Why would they use the American flag for English? We speak American. /s kinda?

Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified) and the Union Jack as English

It's a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)

I have seen at least one site where they used the English flag. Luckily I have watched the European Cup a few times and could recognize it.

Have different locales for uk and us

🇮🇳 obviously.

Zimbabwe obviously 🇿🇲 ah fuck

I mean, if they insist on everything being in Dutch then at least include a flag. If you're going this deep on the UK obviously having the list in the native language is preferable.

The reason for the list above being all in Dutch might be because it's a list of countries, not a list of languages. (I speak some Dutch)

You use both obviously

They're going to hiss at me aren't they?

Unicode uses the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two letter county codes to avoid dealing with flags themselves.
Those are designed for nation-states, and controlled by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency.

Adding the British regions was a mistake imo.
