If anyone in Ireland is offended at the use of a Union Jack to signify the button for English language then they need to grow up. Fast.

- names_are_hard 5y agoI don't know much about Ireland, maybe it's not that sensitive an issue there. So how about this: what's the correct flag to show for Arabic in Israel? Last time I fiddled with some automated kiosk at Ben Gurion airport I noticed they used a Jordanian flag for Arabic. That's an interesting choice, because if I had to guess most of the people choosing Arabic at that kiosk would not choose that as their flag.
- brigandish 5y agoThey're not choosing their flag, they're choosing a language.
- duskwuff 5y agoSo have another example: if you were to translate your application into Tibetan (for some reason), what flag would you use for it? (The Tibetan flag is literally illegal to display in Tibet, as the Chinese government considers it a symbol of the separatist movement. So you probably don't want to use that...)
- brigandish 5y agoI'd show them a picture of the Dalai Lama's face. Would that cause trouble? For whom?
