Future headline? -- #Google fires entire AI staff, changes global default language for all Google services to Chinese.
@lauren When I did UI in Google, I heavily advocated for default Chinese language.
You know how hard it is to design a UI that works for both German and Chinese without completely blowing up the layout? And between the options, Chinese tends to be more horizontally compact thanks to the ideoglyphs.
@PeterLudemann @mark Of course, little of this mattered with the G transition to "Material Design" and such low contrast fonts that if you were much older than about 25 you might as well have been using Braille.
@PeterLudemann @mark I did too. Either there was no response or ... you guessed it ... "WAI".
