What you are saying is that a small, relatively rich country can invest in supporting their own language: that, to me, is not political, but as raised previously, financial. It's also a good incentive for other big players (Google, Microsoft, Apple) to invest in a language that has prospective customers willing to spend more.
Serbian government would certainly support Serbian language voice recognition and synthesis, but probably not with as much money as Iceland would.
- eropple 5y ago> that, to me, is not political, but as raised previously, financial The idea that there is a difference between these two things is one of the more pernicious ones of the last hundred years. Money is power. The exercise of power is politics. They can't be separated.
- monocasa 5y ago> Politics (from Greek: Πολιτικά, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. It certainly sounds like this is a political situation to me, almost to a tautology. The fact that these decisions was made on the basis of financial gain doesn't make them any less political.
