An online petition is asking for the Cree language to be added to Google Translate.
It was created by publisher Joseph John, who wanted his comic book “Citizen Canada” to reflect the country’s diverse history by having the hero speak English, French and Cree.
However, he quickly learned that Cree, the most common First Nations language in Canada, is not an option on the Google Translate app.
Data from Statistics Canada’s 2016 census shows there were more than 96,000 Cree speakers in the country.
