Hey, today I found one more unrespectful #localization situation:
- pot file not updated in 4 years while Po files keep receiving translators work.
- Po files are merged using maintainer name, and not the translator name... Yes @weblate does provide commit with the translator name.

And yes, weblate detects context references to unexisting file, which triggers an alert, which point at you, maintainer.

Can we be respected? If so, just update this and keep our names in git

I knew that the Panama Canal was dependant on Fresh Water from a large lake in southern Panama, so no big surprise that since Panama is having a major drought this year, traffic through the Canal has been impacted(1).

But did you know the Suez Canal depends on Fresh water too!? In the literal middle of a desert. For some reason, this blew my mind. It's also, obviously, not doing well with drought and increased demand on precious water(2).

It seems the two major world “shortcuts" for our shipping networks are in a bit of a pickle. Who could have predicted this? Your stuff on the Slow Boat from China might be taking a little longer. Or perhaps we should re-localize our production?

And decarbonizing RFN all those factories and ships would be good too. Also, clean electrification of trans-continental railways seems good. We have the answers. We know what to do. Do it.

So I guess there are 2 types of #SwiftUI devs:

those who have already implemented #localization in their apps, and those who have been ignoring this topic "for now”.

I'd like to share a few tips on how to hit the ground running in the right direction

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.

#accessibility and #Localization things you may be forgetting.

1. Icons - Have a button such as trash🗑 to delete an item? Don't forget to translate the alt tags for screen readers!

2. Images - We all know to put alt tags (hopefully), have you translated them?

3. Logos - If your company is "Banana" but as a bank it's written out as "Banana Banking", don't forget to translate the Banking part.

4. Units - Not everyone uses metric/imperial. And not every industry uses metric in a metric country.

Localizing a Jakarta Faces (JSF) web app:

-> placing translated texts outside the war file reduced build times by 36%
-> this blog post explains the difficulties and the solution

You can still get my localization-friendly pixel fonts at a discounted price: https://itch.io/s/99670/august-bundle-

Norwegian? Sure.
Icelandic? No problem.
Klingon? Eh… I must confess I'm not well-versed in Star Trek lore.

Je viens de décrire sur mon blog la manière dont je compte mesurer l'état de santé des communauté linguistiques dans le domaine du logiciel libre :

New HREFLANG study by Patrick Stox and Joshua Hardwick with some interesting findings.

"We ran the largest hreflang study ever, nearly 10X larger than any other study. In total, we looked at issues on 374,756 different domains that used hreflang tags. Our findings show that 67% of them have at least one issue."

Just found about the localization language format that Mozilla created a few years ago for Firefox: Fluent
https://projectfluent.org/

Looks quite an improvement over other formats I know like gnutext (PO) and xliff.

A good implementation for .NET I could find is Linguini from Ygg01:
