Sending an uneditable, non-convertible scanned #PDF for #translation is the best way to get a massive fuck you from your humble #translator.

Firefox's new built-in #translator still leaves much to be desired. In this translation from German to Italian, #Firefox confuses Russia with Belarus and shows difficulty in interpreting verb tenses. Even Google's translation is not error-free, but it is overall preferable to Firefox's (also because certain errors completely change the meaning of the article). So for now #TWP extension remains my go-to solution for translations in Firefox. Sorry #Mozilla!

Belated #Introduction !

Hi I'm Pengu, and I'm a Taiwanese-American in Japan working as a #translator and #interpreter in the #VideoGames industry. My hobbies are #JPop (mainly #LDH) and #Jfashion (mainly #EGL #LolitaFashion) but also just Japanese entertainment and pop culture in general as well.

I have a toddler with my spouse as well as a cat named Feels.

I was on a different instance before but I've moved to Ohayooo and I think I'll stay 🌞

Welcome. It's OK to say Xitter BTW, most people I interact with understand that the letter X in front of a vowel takes a soft sound, as in International Phonetic Alphabet sound ʃ

#Mastodon #translator #editor #HumanRights #SustainableDevelopment

I've been using Mastodon for awhile now, but since I've (finally) changed servers, I guess it's time for a new #introduction !

I'm Taylor and I'm a Canadian #writer, #proofreader, and #translator living in Tokyo.

My main muse is #reading, but #LanguageLearning is also a high priority for me. Expect many posts about #books and my inability to stop buying them.

よろしく！

#bavarder v1.0.0 will be released at the end of the week 🎉🎉 with a new UI, local model support, history, command running and more

If you are a #translator, you can translate on #Codeberg #translate https://translate.codeberg.org/engage/bavarder/

Thanks everyone who contributed to this release!

Are there any English>Portuguese translators out there who have some time to take on a ~5,000-word article that would be a pretty solid antifascist mitzvah? There might be some money in it, but not much. (Asking as a fellow translator who’s done a shit-ton of volunteer/underpaid work over the years for projects that don’t have much money, but are worth supporting.)

I've just learned that DeepL FINALLY released its Firefox extension, and I got really excited. It seems to work really well on websites that aren't in your set language!

Sadly, it doesn't seem to work on Mastodon. The extension doesn't seem to detect other languages in what it thinks is a wholly English website on my end. I was really hoping I could use it to read non-English toots on PC, but I guess that'll have to wait. ✊ 😔

I don't suppose anyone I know here (given there are a fair few #Welsh folk among you) knows any freelance Welsh-to/from-English translators?

It's as part of a (potential, next year) project with oral histories for @museuminabox

#freelance #translator #Welsh #English

New instance, new #introduction!

I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.

I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!

I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.

I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.

I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).

Come say hi 👋

oh good grief... so I caved and dug out the vinyls and the record player...
I totally forgot they had done a song called "Ronnie Raygun Blues"

Spoiled the ending of a game for myself while translating related materials and looking for references.

Linking a different reference to my reviewer to not spoil the game for them too💔.

PMs in Singapore don't seem to know the difference between #Norwegian and #Czech 🤦🏻. Or they just don't care.
Good luck with that.
