   In the official Mastodon web app, the language selection menu in the compose window is the worst design affordance-wise. Nobody, unless they're a nerd, would ever look at the two capitalized letters (e.g., ZH for Chinese) and assume that they could choose a language.

   (Some would say that the ISO 639-1 language code is “not an obstacle,” any more than phone prefix numbers are, but, well, who remembers phone numbers these days?)

     Phanpy (@phanpy) seems mostly better about this. It displays language names together in their languages (e.g., Korean (한국어)). And it doesn't truncate long language names.

     The one thing I don't like is the lack of search, though.
