      One thing I wish iOS/Android did was have the option for these emergency alerts to be multilingual, or provide some sort of auto translation. When i was in Japan in November, I received an emergency alert due to NK launching some missiles. It’s pretty scary to have your phone blow up with a loud alarm, and not being able to read the alert because it’s in Japanese. On iOS, you also can’t just copy the notification to translate it. I had to take a picture, and then have Google Translate translate it.

      I was anticipating some big earthquake, but turned out to be a child playing with his rockets.

        I’m able to take a screenshot and translate this comment in the photos app in iOS.

        Edit: I have no idea how good the translation is, but I’ve done it this way for things that needed translation.

          You’re right, but that was my point, you have to take a screenshot and translate it. It wasn’t something I thought about when my phone was blasting out a loud alarm.

          In those kind of emergencies, either it should’ve been auto translated to the users’ default language, or a quick translate option should be available.
