### 4/5 — Accessibility

*2026-04-07*

Please the option to select a 3rd language, for example with the Kidase app there’s the option to select a 3rd Language. You can select English or select the …. Dots and what it does it gives you the view or perspective of the 3 language step up. That is much better than having to split the screen based on the 2 language system of Geez and Amharic. Much better view and easier to manage because often times with the two language view it’s never scrolling like for like, #20 in the geez view is like #25 in Amharic or vice versa never perfect. Please make the adjustment.
