It’s systematic Monolingualism. Which even though this is something that has a big negative impact on me and my particular life, I am willing to first attribute to ignorance before discrimination.
It’s just easier to make a product that follows a one country one language pattern. And the numbers of multilingual people are in the minority.
- ClumsyPilot 4y ago> I am willing to first attribute to ignorance before discrimination I think ignorance is a fair answer for an individual like you and me. However when you are a giant organisation, the organisation can be evil without anyone individually being so. In organisation ignorance and evilness is really hard to distinguish, and easy to conflate on purpose. It is the job of the leadership to not be ignorant, or at least to hire someone who isn't. Thats why AI ethocs teams where the correct move.
