<br></div><div>Feedback? In particular, I've listed 20 Indic languages as buttons on the options page, and I don't have enough knowledge to check if they are all correct! So if someone could check, I'd be grateful :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Suggestions? What should I prioritize next?

Hi Srikanth (too many Srikanths!). Right now, you can use only one language at a time.
