Comment:
For this purpose, the ethnologue data is junk. It lists the USA with over
twice as many living languages as Pakistan. (PK 72, US 162) A more
reasonable source lists 8 to 10 languages for Pakistan:
https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/pk.html
Consider ink jet printing. It's used to print time stamps on everything
from plastic milk jugs to corrugated cardboard boxes. It could even handle
ethnologue's idea of languages in the USA.
I forgot: It's "left speaker" and "right speaker", not just "speaker". The
power brick and plug need labels too.
BTW, this also helps with the idea that theft will be reduced if the
laptop has a strong kid-look. Having the speakers labled is just not a
grown-up thing.
In any case, that's just hardware. The software also severely suffers from
a lack of labels. I can certainly post separate tickets for each problem,
but it's going to be a LOT of tickets. I hate to flood a bug database like
that.
