#i18n

Besides Tikhonov regularisation (French transliteration) and Tychonoff's theorem (German transliteration) do we have another instance of a mathematician whose name is commonly spelled two different ways for two different results?

#Tychonoff #Tikhonov #Тихонов

#Translation #Transliteration #i18n #l10n

Does anyone know of any examples where transliterating someone's name to ASCII creates a linguistic problem, for example where removing an accent from a letter changes the meaning of a word from a name to an insult?

I’m super happy we could focus on priorities that are important to me:

🌐 First-class #i18n support — it should be easy to make documentation for everyone

🪶 Light-weight architecture — docs should load fast on any bandwidth

💁 Accessible UI — websites should work no matter how you access them

Always looking to improve all of this, so let me know if you spot any issues. Or better yet, come get involved. Contributions welcome!

My #May blog post is up! 🥳

This month, I’m sharing a method for generating custom #sitemaps with #Astro when the official sitemap integration isn’t flexible enough, for example when you want per-page `lastmod` values, instead of per-site ones, or have internationalised slugs the official integration can’t match to each other.

Enjoy it here: https://amxmln.com/blog/2023/creating-custom-sitemaps-in-astro/ 😊

Periodic reminder of how great a (hidden) feature the Linux (or maybe just Gnome) compose key is.

You assign a key on the keyboard to be your compose key, and you can type all kinds of characters and symbols in an intuitive way:

[ Cmp o / ]: ø
[ Cmp a e ]: æ
[ Cmp c , ]: ç
[ Cmp ? ? ]: ¿
[ Cmp ^ 0 ]: ⁰
[ Cmp x x ]: ×
[ Cmp - > ]: →
[ Cmp - - - ]: —

I've assigned Right Ctrl to be my compose key. I hardly ever use it anyway. 😊

Today I am learning about #localisation and #internationalisation with #Python. For somebody who's never dug into #gettext etc before, I'm finding there are *very* few tutorials that start from scratch of "OK, here's how to start internationalising your strings, and then generating templates to be localised".
I found this one, https://phrase.com/blog/posts/translate-python-gnu-gettext/, which has gotten me off the ground, but gosh it was hard to find.
#accessability #internationalization #localization #i18n #l10n

@brion @theresnotime or literally `gestionnaire-de-sacoche engin`!! We need a thin wrapper for #i18n

I didn't think adding translation to a project was going to be particularly easy, but I am starting to wonder if people maybe create their own solutions?

I was looking at https://www.npmjs.com/package/i18n, it looks nice. But it doesn't seem to let you break your translation text into multiple files for easier organization?

And I like this editor https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=thibault-vanderseypen.i18n-json-editor, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with the format the i18n node package uses.

#webdev #WebDevelopment #i18n #translation

@JorgeStolfi well, those "shock call scammers" are a real issue and they work internationally, exploiting legal loopholes to enshure they don't get jailed.

#SPIEGELtv did make a deep dive into those organized #scammers...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F94RpvSYxDg

Sadly @spiegelint didn't #i18n it...

Working with #calckey in #Dutch and seeing notifications, posts and things like that happening instantly makes it clear, that interface translation is hard when you base it on an external interface without a lot of the context.

#i18n

Also, the translation for 'Post' (as seen on the main Post button), is translated with 'Notitie'. Which, looking at the key might make sense (the key is called 'note'), but, does not make sense in the flow of submitting a #calckey post. #i18n #Dutch #translators

In #Linux and #MacOS, AFAIK, the $LANG environment var has this form:
<lang.2.letter.code>_<2.LETTER.COUNTRY.CODE>.<CHARSET> (Caps where seen)
E.g. mine is:
en_US.UTF-8
However, when looking up the pathnames for these it is usually: 'en_US/'
What is the the charset extension used for?
I am a newbie in the whole #I18N space and #M17N area.

Is there a way to get my Mastodon server to use American spelling? It uses "favourite " instead of "favorite" and I always find that a bit jarring.

@alberniweather Check out the Locale::Maketext framework for localizing text into different languages: https://perldoc.perl.org/Locale::Maketext

The good news is that it ships with #Perl, so users don’t have to install anything else.

Here’s a dated but still good article about using it: https://perldoc.perl.org/Locale::Maketext::TPJ13

And feel free to follow @Perl to send and receive messages with the rest of the Perl fediverse community!

Oh Twilio, this is not the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland #I18n

We're looking to run a month of interviews and presentations in June on @cfedev on #i18n ( #internationalization ) and #l10n ( #localization ). I'm looking for:

- 1 presentation on the topic (~30 minutes)
- 2 interviews on the topic (these are fun, no prep, but more technical)
- 1 interview with a #DevRel who is interested on this topic for our DevRel focused show.

We're having a #hackathon here at work, and it's my proud moment: I'm working on localization of Auth0 Dashboard, starting with #Ukrainian 🤩 (it's not 100% complete yet, but I'm on track to finish late tomorrow night)

I hope to make a point at the demo that #i18n is, in fact, #accessibility and we should treat is accordingly. Should be fun :)

Just upgraded to macOS 13.3.1 and got a very unpleasant surprise: macOS can't open some files with Unicode names.

Details: https://dev.to/eliteraspberries/unicode-bug-on-macos-2558
https://gist.github.com/eliteraspberries/b26406d3de0d8bd86fc769ca8ee769d4

TLDR: Only files with names in the Latin alphabet can be opened. This is a very serious bug.

#Translators of #opensource #software, do you use #translation software to help you quickly translate common strings, and then check for correctness? If not, why?

#i18n

Oh my, this is a larger #footgun than I thought:

```
$ touch A a Z z
$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 find . -name '[A-Z]'
./Z
./A
./z
```

In en_US.UTF-8, the #regex of "[A-Z]" won't match lowercase "a" (even though it matches all the other lowercase letters). I'd have to change to "[a-Z]".

I knew that setting the right #locale in a #shell script is an important thing but now I see it as a must instead of a mere recommendation.

Thanks a lot for the post, @parvXm!

@ocdtrekkie - YUNoHost has a CI-driven automatic quality ranking for their apps, called "level". Details here: https://yunohost.org/en/packaging_testing#application-quality-level
- The manifest can provide estimates of resource usage. That's very nice.
- It looks like everything is ready for #I18N That's points. (I've done none of that for Dropserver :(

The only thing I'm unsure of with YUNoHost iw their "app id" which is a string chosen by the dev, and it's not clear how it stays unique, or how the system handles non-unique ids?

A friend just committed to a git repo
“add XK to accepted BIC country codes (#2046)”
while this is nice, I would not use such a project.

Please people, I have seen so many hardcoded ISO constants in projects and many simply do not make sense.
So many things are baked in JS and they are always up to date.

Please people, think alone what
:digitalcourage: Intl.
can do for you.
It gives you locales, languages, currencies, currency symbols, countries, regions, units and so much more.
Probably one of the most underrated built in APIs

My #introduction finally!

Hey, my name is Karithina (they/them)!

I'm a goth, a breast cancer survivor, nonbinary, pansexual, and autistic. I have ADHD, two cats, a house full of Halloween decorations all year, and live in Australia.

I'm a web developer, designer and content editor that is super passionate about accessibility and the indie web. I've also been a graphic designer and a digital media generalist, so I'm used to straddling the world between art and tech.

I have a mostly native plant garden but also a collection of vincas and cactuses. I'm a recovering plant murderer.

I make art that's ink, watercolour, pixel-based, or collage mainly.

I like to play video games that are mainly creative, social, chill, puzzle, retro, pixel, biology, and/or roleplay based. My ongoing favourites are Creatures Docking Station, Furcadia and VRChat.

You can find my website at https://www.4o4.au

I've had this intro as a draft for over a year but it keeps changing because I'm frustratingly organic.

Yes, string-manipulation in #C is not for the faint of heart (or the inexperienced) – use a saner, higher-level language instead:

@lightweight Fair. #i18n often goes unrecognized as a strength of well-run FOSS projects.
For that TMU game, is it the same team as the #a11y maze? It was nice to get that one through French localization.

#JavaScript #i18n #charset

Does anyone have ideas for how to fix this "broken characters appearing" issue on the Podverse website?

It seems like it might be related to charsets, but I don't know how to fix it...what charset should we use? Are we sure using a different charset won't break with other podcast info?

If you think about it, the word “Internationalization” (I18N) (the process to enable translations in software) is technically wrong. It has nothing to do with nations because languages transcend nations. The word “international” means “between nations” but I18N is not about nations at all. It's about languages.

As a replacement, I suggest "Interlingualization" (I17N).

When someone is going to claim that using #GoogleTranslate for #i18n is just fine, feel free to show them this screenshot:

I've been poking around in the codebases of various #Mastodon apps, and run across lists of followed #Hashtags and lists of.. #Lists… that aren’t being displayed in alphabetical order and it was driving me nuts. Why?

Then I realized perhaps it’s because sorting alphabetically might not actually WORK in all #Languages. Is that why these aren’t sorted?

Seems like you could make decisions to sort or not based on the majority of your user demographics.

Thinking about making #Traco (https://github.com/barsoom/traco) store translations in a single JSONB column per model. It’s a bit laborious currently to add columns everywhere when we introduce a new locale. Or we could switch to some translations-in-own-table solution – neater in some ways but more complex in others. Experiences/thoughts? #rails #i18n

One of the kindest, sharpest, dedicated-est @astro maintainers (already a fabulous bunch of peeps) was promoted to the much smaller "core" group.

It's not just GitHub permissions on a repo, which maintainers have. Core members are responsible for upholding our values and "steering the ship."

The project, and the community, is in our care. @yanthomasdev is a true leader in Astro, #Documentation, #a11y, #i18n & someone I'm honoured to lead with & learn from. 💜

OH, and I totally forgot.

The apps and websites take into account your locale now as reported by your system to localize certain elements and interaction.

It's the initial scaffolding for future translation/localization support.

One of them, which is in danger of getting a little sidelined next to #WebC, #Edge and Partial Hydration (is-land), I'll discuss at the upcoming TheJam.dev 2023: the new #I18n plugin. I will build a small starter project and say a few things about the Internationalization process, the Accept-Language header and #Netlify's redirect rules. Looking forward to it!!
