Language support

What I know about Indonesian grammar is that there are no articles or grammatical gender for nouns, so in those regards Scribe wouldn't be needed for noun genders. Another thing is that verbs don't need to be conjugated, but for past I'm reading that we need to add the words sudah (informal) or telah (formal), so maybe it's at times confusing which one needs to be used.

Another thing that was brought up as being difficult is what the various prefixes and suffixes mean for words. Maybe allowing someone to look up what prefixes/suffixes are in their native language or separating the base word from the prefixes would be helpful 🤔

Something that seems to be hard is the plural of nouns :) Thus the Plural key might be of more use to potential Scribe users :)

Keyboard variants

There likely are variants if the user is used to using AZERTY or QWERTY. It looks to mostly be QWERTY though :)

Contribution

Would be happy to discuss how Scribe could help second language Indonesian learners. We could at the very least do the translate feature.
