I speak a few languages myself and can recognise several non-latin scripts. I had a pretty good hunch of the outcome but no idea how deep it goes!
In the context of the website redesign I'm working on, we asked Richard Ishida, our #i18n expert, how to sort languages when multiple translations are available.
His answer is both mind-boggling and fascinating!

I'm really wondering who would take the time and pain to write 機 (I can't even see the strokes in a reasonable font size) when it can be written with just き
Yesterday, while I was on a call, my daughter was around for a few minutes. Then before leaving she told me "Mom, are there only men?"
I don't pay attention anymore but yes, it has not changed much in 20 years. There was actually another woman on that call, among ~40 participants.

I went for a walk with a good friend who I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic started. We stopped by the COVID memorial wall, showing heart after heart after heart, each recognising someone who has died from this awful disease. It was… well, “striking” doesn’t begin to cover it.
Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD).
