Is it true that xiaomi.eu includes the Tango 32-bit translation layer for 64-bit only devices?

With the release of new phones with 64bit-only CPUs (like the POCO F6), it has become difficult to run 32bit apps. Of course, the app developers can just update their app to have 64 bit versions as well, but this would be impossible for old or abandoned software.

However, Xiaomi has apparently integrated a way to run 32 bit apps on 64bit-only devices (specifically Xiaomi 14) through an "ARM binary translator" called Tango:

I think I saw someone say that this translation layer is available in Chinese ROMs. Is this true? If so, does this mean it's also in ChinaROM-based xiaomi.eu as well?

Yes, Tango (a 32-bit to 64-bit translator) is used on China ROMs only. Global ROMs for those devices lack 32-bit support.
