We at the [Fairphone Forum](https://forum.fairphone.com) decided to go ahead and start using this feature even though it’s not supported yet.  
We hope that giving you an example of a working forum using this cool feature is a better motivation to work on implementing it than just some fancy mockups.

So, please come check it out!

Here is the introduction post to flag-tags in our forum:

> **[📊 Language Tags - "Final" Vote](https://forum.fairphone.com/t/language-tags-final-vote/26403)**

> \#Please vote in the post marked as “solution”. ▶ Original Post ▶ Recent Edit

and here is the list of tags:

###What works already:

- Contrary to my last post above in general this works with all [Regional Indicator Symbols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Indicator_Symbol).
- Like with all other tags you can now see all threads of the same language and follow or mute a language.
- So far we have been using discourse’s emojis (🇮🇹, 🇩🇪, 🇪🇸, …) in the topic title, which is by far the inferior solution. Searching for topics of the same language is a pain. Searching for “`:de:`” will show all (or better yet 50) topics that contain “`de`” in the title. Searching for “`:it:`” will yield zero results as “`it`” doesn’t count as a word.

###What doesn’t work yet:

- Not everybody can see (all of) these flags.
- The post I linked above includes a guide to make it work on almost all computers and Android phones, but a way to let every user see the flags without having to install an emoji font would be great.
- If you don’t see the flags you see `🇩 🇪, 🇫 🇷, 🇳 🇱, 🇮 🇹, 🇪 🇸...` which is usually also quite clear.
- but still we decided to keep using the flags in the topic title as well (for now).
- You can’t easily **#mention** an emoji-tag, you’ll have to enter e.g. `[🇬🇧](https://forum.fairphone.com/tags/%F0%9F%87%AC%F0%9F%87%A7)`
- You can’t tag a topic without having to copy-paste the flag unless it’s in the top 5 tags.
- (Minor issue): Even if you copy paste the flag you get a suggestion as though the tag was never used before. So without the “(x17)”.  
This is only an issue if you e.g. copied the flag of Clipperton Island `🇨🇵` instead of France `🇫🇷` and you don’t see that you are creating a new tag instead of tagging the topic as french (happened to me).
- PS: Searching for flag-tags also doesn’t work yet. It would be cool to be able to e.g. search all Italian topics on Margherita, if you’re not interested in the Spanish Margherita atm.

###So in conclusion

It’s already quite a nice feature, but if discourse starts supporting it this will be epic.
