Description
Count missing authorized descriptions and unauthorized supplied languages.
Source support, credit and authorization are different concepts. Supplied flags and vocabularies can support record bookkeeping but cannot independently establish consent, cultural authority, equitable credit or legal reuse rights.
Count missing authorized descriptions and unauthorized supplied languages.
When to use this tool
