Description

This extension is not a solution, not even a workaround. This is an example of how Codeforces may look like without an incorrect use of flags. Please reach out to Codeforces admins and ask them to fix that language picker.

Why? Because flags represent countries, not languages!

Flag may mean different things like country, citizenship, currency, location, etc, when a language is a means of communication. There is no one-to-one connection between languages and flags, because one country is not necessarily one language, and one language doesn't belong to one country only. Flag also may carry political agenda, tolerable in some societies, but unacceptable in others.

Using flags as language indicators is discouraged by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is considered to be a bad practice. More details on the suggestion not to use flags as language indicators can be found at World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Working Group Note 03 June 2014, see https://www.w3.org/TR/i18n-html-tech-lang.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
