I was hoping to use Scribble in the Duolingo app for learning Turkish. However, my iPad language settings are English, and Scribble does not recognise non-English characters, like ü.
When I hand write “köpek”, I expect to see the text köpek. However, Scribble maps my input to “kopek”, dropping the very important umlaut on the o.
The bug breaks my learning immersion. I can’t begin to imagine how frustrating it is for genuine multilingual people using Apple Scribble to hand write in more than one language.
I’ve only had the ipad + pencil for two days, but I can already begin to predict my dissatisfaction.
Not giving me an easy way to map between unique input patterns and binary representation was one of the reasons I dropped macOS in favour of Linux Debian based operating systems on my laptops and desktops in the past. If Apple doesn’t introduce support for multilingual users, I will definitely switch to the first OS / hardware company that does.
