i meant most common, was an error on my part.

also, if you add internationalization support for 1 language in your app, it’s trivial (these days) to add other languages. My point is they should just add support for other languages, like chinese, japanese, english, etc.

More users = more money?

just so u know, kakaotalk does exist in multiple languages. feels like this whole thread is based on a false assumption

>Kakaotalk is in English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, Vietnamese (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kakaotalk/id362057947)

Have you actually used it?

I used it earlier this year in Korea, although it did have a hard to get to setting to change your language, many many things were still in Korean.

It is very difficult to navigate, but I asked for help and a native was able to figure it out.

Still more usable than Google Maps though, which will only give you a not so good train schedule. No walking directions at all.

I've seen tons of American made apps from large companies that show bits of English here and there when switched to another language.

Localization is hard, even for companies that spend a lot of time and effort on it.

It isn't just string replacements!

That's interesting, because Google Maps here in Japan is absolutely fantastic: train schedules are always correct (and updated with delays etc.), walking directions are good, etc. I guess having a big office here in Tokyo is a big part of this.

I think your talking about a different app, KakaoMap, which you're right isn't totally localised. KakaoTalk is though.

happy to be proven wrong! Cheers
