I can give a perfect bad example: the Youtube app on my iPhone somehow determined to change to Amharic. This is the Google support article: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/87604 https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/87604 telling me the buttons to press in English. Also, I don't know/speak Amharic, and so at the time had no idea what language it was, and the iPhone translate doesn't even recognize this Ethiopian language. Bit of a pickle that could have easily been mitigated by a universal multilanguage icon.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> the Youtube app on my iPhone somehow determined to change to Amharic Was this about 6 weeks ago?
- TheJoeMan 1y agoYes, actually. Is there an article about it? After updating to iOS 18.4, Amharic was appended to the end of the list of preferred languages in the iPhone Settings app. However, what's interesting is it was ranked below English, and apps are supposed to use the languages list in order, but perhaps Youtube is alphabetically sorting the list?
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> Yes, actually. Is there an article about it? Not that I know of. It just happened to me, too, around then. I thought it had to do with my pet fascination with the Ethiopian civil war and GERD.
- hombre_fatal 1y agoYou can set the language individually per app in the iOS settings. But I thought it defaulted to your global setting.
