Err... No thanks, DeepL. This word does not even exist.

Be careful with MT!

I'm a theater lover and also sometimes translate plays into English as part of my job, so I found this article fascinating! It talks about the process of adapting the musical CHICAGO into Arabic for Lebanese audiences.

Why doesn't CSS provide any options for adding character based fallback options? Seemingly only the browser itself can do this. It would be nice to be able to provide some options here.

Translators do more than just translate words into another language for our clients. Sometimes we're cultural advisors, explaining how they could rewrite their texts slightly to make them more effective and profitable in another country or culture.

LB reminds me of all the fun & fascinating heuristics one uses to diagnose / problems. eg, in the language list, does a website sort 🇩🇪 with the Gs (German) or with the Ds (Deutsch)? in the countries list, is 🇨🇦 amongst the Cs (Canada) or with the Ks (Kanada)?

These are the configuration options you will have as a developer for my in-app framework.

You’re in full control of when & how much to request from your users, & what additional instructions you want to give.

Do you miss anything?

This illustrates the difference between translating (=keeping the correct meaning of ground floor) and using a dictionary to replace words without understanding the content. Neither the author nor the editor checked how floors are numbered in France, what a shame. 'premier étage' means 'the floor above the ground floor', not 'ground floor'. I wonder why they automatically assumed we number the floors like in the US.

In May we held a US memorial service for my mother, who died earlier this year. Multiple speakers remembered Amerikannada, and specifically plaintively wished my parents could have used the tools available now, the tools that make indie publishing, in Kannada, so much more feasible without staggering work.

So here's a shout-out to toolmakers, especially the and folks who provide that capability to my parents' intellectual heirs. Thank you.

I know Truth Social is based on Mastodon. I know its main audience is English-speaking.

Still, I failed to anticipate the logical conclusion: when you view his profile in a different language, Trump literally toots.

The profile lists all of his “tutar” when accessed in Norwegian. They never updated or changed the localisation, of course.
