  2. Hey, Mastodon and Fediverse!
    [TL;DR: help with translations 🇬🇷🇮🇩🇮🇹🇯🇵🇹🇭. Bonus: 🇫🇷🇲🇰🇳🇱]

    Brief context: the past week I've shared here a few posts in languages which, to put it simply, I can't understand shit of.

    I'd like to have a decent English (or Spanish) translation available, and while I'm moderately confident I can get a workable one done myself,¹ it'd be very, VERY welcome if somebody with an actual idea of what they're seeing could take a look. :3

    The languages (I don't understand * of) are: Greek, Indonesian, Japanese, and Thai.
    There's also Italian.

    There are some older ones in French, Macedonian and Dutch which would also benefit from a review, so I'm extending this to those too. :3
    [Several of the French ones ARE longish, be warned.]
    There should be some German and Portuguese ones as well, but I'm not locating them. 🤔 Oh well.

    This isn't a call for professionals, to be clear (I don't have budget to pay for that 🥴), but the texts aren't that long, it's a best-effort task, and it's got no strings attached, nor deadline. ^^
    (Really, if you see this in two years and I'm still around, feel free to ping!)

    The texts are about sex work however, most made by sex workers and all affirming towards it, so be warned if you got any issues with that (I'm guessing you'll block me outright in that case instead but… 🤷‍♀️).

    If anyone wonders: yeah, machine translations kinda do the work, but they're terrible. 🥴 If they even work (*ahem* 🇲🇰 *ahem*).
    And LLM-based ones DO hallucinate sometimes to boot. 🤦‍♀️ [More importantly though, they aren't an acceptable tool anyway.]
    “Solutions” in these lines aren't welcome, and anyone tooting LLMs in response will actually be blocked outright — I'm looking for human-brain powered mistakes exclusively. ;3

    Well, so that. If you feel like giving a hand or know somebody who could, be welcome!
    Boosts are fine as well. ^~

    ¹ One of the languages I do more or less understand (🇮🇹), other I'm used to do this and this time did come with an official translation (🇲🇰 & yay!), a third I kind of had to do the translation already just to write it (🇹🇭 oh the pain… 😵‍💫), and the others at the very least I didn't have to write myself, so I trust to have a sane basis. 😅

  20. The 7 Deadly Sins is the tenth album by the Italian #extremeMetal band #Necrodeath. The individual songs on the album are named after each of the #sevenDeadlySins. In addition, the album closes with re-recordings of "Thanatoid" from #FragmentsOfInsanity (1989) and "Graveyard of the Innocents" from #IntoTheMacabre (1987). The 7 Deadly Sins was also the band's first album with lyrics in the #ItalianLanguage.

  21. Can anyone express an informed opinion about some new / great ways for a Canadian to learn some Italian? I used Rosetta Stone many years ago for some very basic "tourist Italian", but would like to prepare a little more for an upcoming trip. It seems Babbel is the leader these days, but I wonder if there's something hiding in the bushes. I should add-- it really needs to be self paced, and I don't want to mess around with free approaches (I'm too old to figure some of that out, or risk getting something wrong), so DuoLingo may not be an option (but I might be convinced). #italianlanguage #languagelearning #languages #babbel #rosettastone #duolingo

    One #publicDomain item that is a "new" reference for our #wiki is "Dialogo de’ giuochi che vegghie sanesi si usano di fare" by Girolamo Bargagli (1581).

    It presents games played in a Sienese society, and includes some musical fun with pretending the sounds of instruments or animals.

    The full #Italian #book is available on @internetarchive:
