  1. Kävin korjailemassa #LinuxMint'in asentimen käännösjonoja. En tietenkään voi vakuuttaa, että ne pysyvät: joku voi aina käydä muuttamassa ne takaisin tai johonkin aivan uuteen (ehkä parempaankin?) suuntaan. #Joukkoistus on tämmöistä. #kotoistus #L10n #Linux #FLOSS

  2. Siihen on syynsä, että mieluusti käytän vain ohjelmia, joiden suomennoksesta olen ainakin osin vastannut itse. Tein pois luovutettavalle koneelle #LinuxMint'in OEM-asennusta, eikä tainnut olla ainuttakaan ruutua, jonka käännöksestä en olisi jotakin kielivirhettä tai kömpelöyttä huomannut. #kotoistaminen #kääntäminen #L10n #floss

  3. Prvo letošnje spletkarjenje bo ob četrtkih ob 19h
    v #Tektonix

    Gre za to, da se (kvazi-)tedensko za 1-2h dobimo in izboljšamo spletno prezenco #Kiberpipa, #LUGOS, #HackerTrain ipd.

    Trenuten (WIP) plan za to poletje je:

    - planet odprte kode
    - lažje/redneje pisanje za Kiberpipo in LUGOS
    - več mostov za komunikacijske kanale
    - javen forum za slovenjenje #l10n
    - letaki za Kiberpipo
    - (ideje še pridejo v živo)

  6. Mitä enemmän itse osallistuu ohjelmien #käännöstyö'hön, sitä kriittisemmin tahtoo suhtautua näihin ”rajuihin säihin” ja ”ukkosmyrskyihin”. #kotoistaminen #kääntäminen #L10n #sää #HuonoKieli

  7. This thing here is something the #GNOME project always did; I'm glad gettext is helping making it default behavior:

    "In a po/ directory, the PO files are now exactly those that the translators submitted or committed in version control, or a translation project's daemon committed on behalf of the translators. They are no longer regularly updated with respect to the POT file in the same directory."

  8. As a #RDataTable translator and, more importantly, as a former #GNOME translator, I'm happy with the 1.0 release of gettext, an incredibly good internationalization and localization toolkit. If your software project is not using gettext yet, do consider changing that.

  9. If I'm getting ready for localization of my film and I want to add both subtitles and descriptive audio, should I just use SRT for both?

    Obviously they would be used differently, and I will likely record the English descriptive audio myself. But it seems like SRT would provide a good representation for other language readings. Does that make sense?

  10. RE: iosdev.space/@Jeehut/116716117

    Digging deeper there's more to it than just the one-line prompt: #Xcode 27 ships with 2 built-in localization skills that get called here.

    They are pretty impressive, covering many topics including pluralization & style guides for 14 languages. Not bad at all! 💯

  11. When Craig said #Xcode can now translate entire apps, I was worried at first. But turns out Xcode is literally just starting an agent session with the prompt "Please translate into <language>" 😅

    Phew 😮‍💨 –– @TranslateKit is saved. At least for another year. 😊

  12. Did I hear that right, Xcode is getting capabilities to fully localize an app? Gotta test it thoroughly to see if I should be worried for @TranslateKit or not… 🤔

  13. RE: universeodon.com/@Edmonds_Scan

    Upon seeing this toot for the second time, but in a more tired state of mind, I interpreted `locale` as in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_( and paused for a moment...

    I still remember all the codepages I needed or encountered back then, so let's list them as in the quoted:

    - ru_RU.cp866
    - uk_UA.koi8-u
    - ru_RU.koi8-r
    - ru_RU.cp1251

  14. Konform Browser 140.11.0-101 was released a few days ago and packages are available.

    codeberg.org/konform-browser/s

    See release notes for details.

    Brings in latest security fixes from Firefox ESR 140.11.0 as described in mozilla.org/en-US/security/adv. Users of all Firefox-based browsers should upgrade to fixed version before loading untrusted content.

    Konform Browser now comes with global translations and localization bundled. This means you can get UI in non-English languages out of the box without having to download language-pack addons.

    This release also comes with improved memory efficiency and a few other minor improvements and fixes.

    In other news, Konform Browser is now additionally available in Artix Linux repositories.

  15. It's finally happened! forgejo-cli supports localization! if you wanna come help translate it into new languages, go over to its Weblate page: https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/forgejo-cli/forgejo-cli/

    I haven't written the contribution documentation yet, so please do ask any questions you have.

  16. La plateforme de traduction #l10n de GNOME ne fonctionne pas ce matin.

  17. I found the translations for my favorite self-hosted music streaming app a bit lacking.

    So I rolled up my sleeves and did something about it :3

    First time using Android Studio, too, in order to test them on my own device and an emulated Android Tablet x)

  18. Zdravím české překladatelstvo!
    Od dob, kdy se psala původní příručka pro překladatele, se pár věcí změnilo. Překladatelský tým GNOME má nyní novou a podrobnější příručku. Není kompletní — stále přemýšlím, co přidat — ale doufám, že pomůže dalším zájemcům o překlad začít překládat.

    Novou příručku najdete na gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Transla

    Děkuji všem překladatelům, současným, minulým i budoucím.

  19. i have a question for speakers of different languages regarding how the software you are using expresses the concept of "an action is currently happening" (examples in english: "Downloading updates..." / "Saving report.doc, please wait...")

    so far i see the following options, please correct me or provide with additional ones, or info on languages i have not mentioned

    #german / #deutsch: passive voice with phrases such as "wird heruntergeladen" (is being downloaded)

    #french / #français: nouns corresponding to verbs, such as "lecture" (reading), "téléchargement" (down-/uploading) and "enregistrement" (saving)

    #russian / #русский: likewise verbal nouns, such as "чтение" (reading), "загрузка" (loading/uploading), "сохранение" (saving)

    #italian / #italiano: verbal nouns ending in -aggio

    #japanese / #日本語: verbs ending in 中
