- I agree to follow Scribe-Android's Code of Conduct
- This issue is about one language, and I've changed the title to reflect this
Language support
Indonesian doesn't have gendered nouns or verb conjugation. For basic usage, Scribe can help learners by providing autocompletions, autosuggestions, and translations. Then, in the future, we could add support for prefixes and suffixes, which are the tricky part of this language.
Keyboard variants
Indonesians mostly use a QWERTY keyboard.
