Hola, hablas castellano?

the more i see software developers make localization mistakes (such as using the same string for "post" (verb, on a button to make a post) and "post" (noun, on a header when viewing a post), the more i continue to insist that they learn at least a bit of #esperanto

you can learn enough of it in two or three months to be able to read a wide variety of texts, and its grammar is clear enough that it avoids ambiguities that cause localization problems for monolingual english speakers

even if you never speak a word of esperanto again, just thinking about "oh, this is a button to make a post, so i'd use the verb form 'afiŝi' there, and that is a header displayed when viewing a specific post, so the noun form 'afiŝo' makes more sense there" when writing the localization strings will make it much easier for people who want to localize your app or website for french, german, russian, etc. (and probably also other languages, but i don't have enough expertise in that)

Hey #l10n and #i18n and probably browser experts, does the HTML `hreflang` attribute do anything? Like, never mind what the spec claims, what does it, like, *do*?

I’m diligent about using it, though as an American monolinguist, well…?

When I had an i18n biz, I recall it was useless other than SEO.

Question to localizers and translators :

- Do you translate FLOSS apps to « low ressourced » languages even if these apps lack of « a language chooser » and rely only on Android OS (limited) languages ?

LLMs present us with a unique opportunity to have a fresh take on the problems and solutions.

We are envisioning Glossia a a language hub where localization is just a tool.

Back In Time 1.5.4 release is schedule

That release will be part of the upcoming #Debian 13 "Trixie" and all its derived #GNULinux distributions.

All translations completed by that date will be incorporated into that version.

https://translate.codeberg.org/engage/backintime/

Thank you very much to all translators for your efforts and contributions.

We’ve hit a repdigit milestone: 5555 unfinished string translations in Back In Time project!

Anyone up for some translation fun? In sum there are 427 strings in each of 47 languages. Feel free to add a new language.

Always a joy when Lithuanian translation page og GNOME shows 100% translated. Even when that is just for a couple of days.

Verkko-#sanakirja't ovat hyviä, mutta aina silloin tällöin kunnollista paperista sanakirjaa kaipaa. Niin kuin nyt, kun yrittäisin keksiä muutakin suomen sanaa kuin ”#koristeellinen”, kun alkutekstissä on vuoroon decorated, adorned, ornate ja intricate.

Lisäksi tarvittaisiin #kirkkoarkkitehtuuri'n opas kertomaan, miksi suomeksi kutsutaan kellotornin tai -tapulin tilaa, jossa kellot varsinaisesti ovat – englanniksi ”bell chamber”. #kääntäminen #kotoistus #l10n #gcompris #kdeplasma

Good

To game devs out there: Always check the submitted translations before implementing them. And always credit (and pay) people for their work.

Good morning

I have a request :

Is it possible to build some tool for translators and localizers such as the « StarterPack idea » ?

I mean, I would like to inform or invite some friends to contribute to translate, let's say, 5 FLOSS projets.

I post a link to that « StarterPack » on which they Can find the name of the 5 projects, the URLs where to translate the project and the official Website and Git if available.

Now integrated in our design system library project the Swift Polyglot solution which helps us to find missing translations in our localisables!

wittrans 0.3.0 adds support for ISO-639 (Sets 2 & 3) and GNU C Library locale names. Now you can search using locale names like #pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese) and #zh_CN (Simplified Chinese). Please test and report any issues: https://codeberg.org/artnay/wittrans/ #opensource #linux #localization #l10n

#Kotoistaja on k*sessa englannin sanan ”#contact” kanssa. Lauseessa ”Select at least one contact” se ilman muuta voi olla ”#yhteystieto”, mutta lauseessa ”Invite selected contacts” se kuulostaisi pössöltä. Suomessa sentään erotetaan säntillisesti ihminen häntä koskevista tiedoista! Taidan päätyä kääntämään vuoroon ”yhteystieto” ja vuoroon ”tuttu”, vaikkeivat kaikki some- tai pikaviestinyhteydet toki ole tuttuja sanan perinteisessä mielessä. #l10n #KDEPlasma #Kaidan
