SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open Tokodon 2. create new message 3. select a different language than default OBSERVED RESULT - the order of the languages seems arbitrary (why is English called “American English” and listed close to the bottom, neither E nor A are at the end of the alphabet) - there is no way to search/filter for languages, making the user to carefully scroll through the whole list to spot the desired language EXPECTED RESULT - sort languages by alphabet (in either their native tongue or in the default language of KDE/Tokodon) - enable search/filter of languages, so the user can simply find english by typing the (first) letters of it SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.5-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 30.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: SLIMBOOK Product Name: PROX-AMD5
I can confirm that this is still an issue with tokodon 24.12.2 and that I would also want to see implemented a solution like the proposed one (search and alphabetical sorting)

Git commit 96be8745c6ea52dd99f640d4c19ce23b1344a0b3 by Joshua Goins. Committed on 27/04/2025 at 20:55. Pushed by redstrate into branch 'master'. Show both the localized and native name of a language in the selector This is only half of what we need to do in the selector to make it more usable, but I encountered some problems when integrating a search field. This should still be a modest improvement, though. M +8 -2 src/editor/languagemodel.cpp https://invent.kde.org/network/tokodon/-/commit/96be8745c6ea52dd99f640d4c19ce23b1344a0b3
I'd be great if one could also "favourite" some languages so they appear "on top". This is actually how apps like Fedilab do it, to the extreme to which you can only select from those "favourited" languages.

Tokodon already does this, but the UX isn't super obvious (related to this issue I guess 😅) Tokodon will put the UI languages at the top, so if you have your system set to "German, French, fallback to English" then it would put those at the top. Mastodon has a preferred posting language, I need to double-check if we can read/write that.
