We now follow unicode and unicode is being very strict about flags these days https://github.com/Crissov/unicode-proposals/issues/297 (In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #1) > We now follow unicode and unicode is being very strict about flags these > days https://github.com/Crissov/unicode-proposals/issues/297 Thanks for the link, that makes for a very sad read. I guess I don't see all the nuances here but it seems to me that unicode follows a geographical interpretation of the flags and KDE is trying to represent a language, it's broken by design but I accept there are probably very good reasons for it. The current representation is very ugly, as way of mitigation would it be possible to add something like a image of the world globe (if it exists as unicode) to represent a world-wide language, or possibly just a green block (the colour used in the posts in the link). I'll move this to the keyboard kcm for review. Technically it could render something else for esperanto, question is how much code that would be. Agreed, we could do something custom if it's not too much work. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kguiaddons/-/merge_requests/141 |
