Ulyanovsk in Russia has a monument dedicated to the letter ั‘ (yo) which is often replaced by ะต (ye) due to awkward placement on keyboard (I suspect?).

On translit keyboard layout which I'm using it's no bother, so I can write ั‘ั‘ั‘ั‘ as much as I like ๐Ÿ˜€

@kravietz We should have more monuments for underappreciated letters. :)

Yes, someone also mentioned German umlauts in this context!

Fortunately, Polish spelling is so bloody complicated that nobody even approaches it without a proper Polish keyboard ๐Ÿ˜‚ All diacritics are however available as Alt combinations so Alt-O makes ร“ so quite easy.

In Russian translit keyboard ั‘ is placed at Shift-3 so replacing # which is not much of a loss.

@kravietz I once a long time ago worked on a web site project that had a Polish version of the whole interface, and we were all German developers, none spoke Polish. There I learned to respect Polish spelling. It was quite a challenge to make sure itโ€™s all correct! ๐Ÿ˜…

@tsturm

A lot of Polish people are struggling with this on daily basis ๐Ÿ˜‚

You should have seen our faces when the translator came back with the Polish translations for the menu items. German runs pretty long, but we ran out of space for many of the Polish words in the buttons. ๐Ÿ˜€
