On 6 November, ČT24 republished an LSM report from Latvia about how smartphone language settings can influence content on websites and in apps. Digital security expert Elvis Strazdiņš explains that the order of preferred languages can affect which version of a multilingual website a user is offered.
He highlights preferred language lists and the option of changing their order. For multilingual readers, this is a reason to check their own language preferences and compare news sources. A person’s language choice alone determines neither their views nor the credibility of every text.
