@dreyfusslugado A dev (a member of a team) was assigned the task of connecting the SPA (single page application) to a third-party translation service, and since they can't test how it works without adding any languages they added all of them, assuming that the client or product owner was responsible for the final list of languages they were supposed to use. And then the client or product owner, who is not beholden to the same Agile Project schedule pressures that the rank-and-file are, couldn't be arsed to complete their own task of writing a list of the three or five languages they actually intended to use.
Which is kinda the worst-case scenario mostly because it means the app handling your medical intake information is connecting to offsite servers not managed by the app's operator. What's equally likely is despite the massive length of the list only English (default) actually works, every other option (including those one might reasonably expect) don't, or every option only displays English because the SPA went live without any language modules that actually contained the relevant languages, only English because that's what the devs used for testing.
