Much like the British on holiday, NHS COVID-19 app refuses to work with phones using unsupported languages

Re: What about multiple languages?

I note the clutching of pearls generally.

My first thought when I read about this was "If you have a problem matching a supported language then fall back to English as a sensible default.

It is, after all, one of the major global business languages and there is a good chance that anyone using the App would understand it.

Or have a contact who could."

Major software blunder to output nothing.

It also highlights the lack of thoughtful testing.

Or the unwillingness to accept testing results.
