A great callout about user experience in an app that works with multiple languages. The author correctly identifies the problem of languages like Japanese that use multiple writing systems, but I would add Chinese to that list as well with its traditional and simplified character sets, which don't all nicely map one-to-one. Chinese is massively popular on the internet, poised to surpass English in fact, and a lot of that content (from HKers, Taiwanese, Singaporeans and overseas Chinese) uses the traditional system.
