Description

Expected Behavior

You should be able to switch languages with the globe icon in the Chrome OS / Android version of the Scratch App.

Actual Behavior

The Chrome OS / Android version does not have a globe icon, so you cannot switch the language. Therefore, there is no way to switch to Japanese hiragana character, "にほんご". This is a problem for small children who cannot read kanji character.

Steps to Reproduce

It always occurs. To switch the language, you need to switch the language setting of the OS, but the Japanese hiragana locale does not exist and cannot be switched.

Operating System and Browser

Chrome OS 91.0.4472.167
Scratch App 3.0.61-minSdk23

Research direction

Start by tracing the language-selection UI and locale handling for the Chrome OS / Android version of the Scratch App. Check how the globe icon and Japanese hiragana locale are represented, then verify that selecting にほんご is possible without changing the operating system language.
