Codeforces Language Picker: Replacing Flags with Language Names
Codeforces Language Picker is a Chrome extension developed by 0xc0ffee. It aims to fix the incorrect use of flags as language indicators in the Codeforces platform.
This extension serves as an example of how Codeforces would look without the use of flags. Instead of flags, it replaces them with the corresponding language names. By doing so, it addresses the issue of flags representing countries rather than languages, which can lead to confusion and misrepresentation.
Using flags as language indicators is discouraged by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is considered a bad practice. It is important to note that this extension is not a solution or workaround, but rather a demonstration of the problem. Users are encouraged to reach out to Codeforces admins to request a fix for the language picker.
