I am spending my evenings reading your messages about how difficult it is to navigate social media without our own script available. It is clear that millions of us deserve to interact with this technology in the language that defines our heritage and daily lives.

Seeing this grow brings me so much hope because our languages deserve to be accessible on platforms we use every single day. Knowing so many people feel this same connection to our scripts makes this fight feel possible at last.

Translation needed for these specific languages… it is also good for Facebook for it will bring in more users young and old, the demographic growth results in the translation for Eritreans and Ethiopians.
YES PLEASE! We have been waiting for this for years.
really hope they listen to us this time. why is it still not added yet?
it is about time facebook recognizes our script. so many people here struggle with the english interface and this would help my parents use it so much more.
ge'ez script is very important for our history and culture. adding these languages will make it so much easier for everyone back home to stay connected.
