- jmcannon 12y agoI know, I know - I'm sorry. Despite some of the objections, I just think flags do make great language icons. I do understand that complaints, though. In that particular case, we chose the Brazilian flag because the list and audio is target at Brazilian Portuguese. We should probably explicitly write "Brazilian." Interestingly, we couldn't find a flag icon for Arabic that was neutral enough. So we just chose the green color from the Arab League flag (which I guess could itself be controversial) and wrote "Arabic" in white text.
- alexbecker 12y agoI would write "Portuguese (Brazil)" rather than Brazilian, similar to how you often see "English (US)" or "English (UK)". If I saw "Brazilian" my first thought would be "whoever wrote this doesn't know that Brazil speaks Portuguese".
- jmcannon 12y agoHaha, right - I was thinking "Brazilian Portuguese." Though, we will be launching Mexican and Canadian soon as well!
