I get what you’re saying but I shared it because the motives are the same. Why does Tibetan language matter at all? This BDRC article about digital representation of the language is tied back to that motivation. And the language is under threat due to Sinicization (the program of brainwashing Tibet so it looks like the rest of China). In other words, this discussions around a digital effort is tied to a greater effort to preserve Tibet (land, people, culture).

From my point of view, representation of minority languages matters no matter the political situation. I'm aware that this isn't always (and wasn't always) universally accepted, but I would still think that it's less controversial than political autonomy.

For example, people can support increased representation of the Welsh language without wanting Wales to secede from the UK.
