Description

Terms
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.
