In #GNOME 50 release of Damned Lies, our #translation platform, we got many improvements, most important of all now we support merge requests!

This allows our translators to push translations to projects on, e.g. #FreeDesktop #gitlab without needing to manually open MRs.

English speakers of the fedi. In a software with the interface in English, Reading a menu with verbs such as Save, Open, Close, Edit, Format etc., do you read them as imperative (an order: "do this") or as an infinitive (the "base form" of the verb, like "to do this")?

Are you a native speaker or have English as a second language?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@kagihq/116013637460783600

This is insanely high-quality.

I wanted to play around with its #Spanish translation capabilities and noticed it had Spanish from #costarica specifically. So I gave it as much #tico slang as could make sense and it got it incredibly well.

Obviously, #translation is an art, and I might’ve used slightly different wording, but an anglophone would absolutely get the sentiment from this translation.

It looks like I can’t post a picture on a quote-post, so I’ll reply here with the passage I used!

working on chapter 3 of my Analects translation. On the whole, there is no particular narrative cohesion to the Analects, but sometimes we catch glimpses...

(The original text to notes ratio here is ugly but necessary, these particular entries are baffling without extended cultural context)

People of Mastodon, I need some help translating something my mum used to say to me when I was young.

She would say in Flemish something like "curieuzeneuzen floorstitcher'.
I've worked out that curieuzeneuzen literally means "curious nose", but the part that sounded like "floorstitcher" has eluded me.

Sadly my mum passed away last week. She was born in Gent, but grew up in England. Remembering her today reminded me about the phrase.

On a related note, how does a country that small have 3 different dialects of flemish‽

Does anyone who knows traditional #chinese feel like translating something for no money and no reason except my curiosity?
It's these three images. They are from a book called Literary Works of the Tsengs (Tseng Ke Tuan, 1963). I have had this for many years, for very random reasons. There are only a few large images like this in the book, I think; the rest is fairly dense Chinese text. Maybe they are title pages or maybe fancy family mottoes... my knowledge of Chinese is zero.

If you know what these are, I'd be grateful for your knowledge.

The quality is amazing, they allow you to pick multiple variations (which is particularly helpful if you actually speak the language you are translating to, to some extent), and they sound really quite natural, especially as they try to mimic the original text’s tone of voice.

Tonight on translations that are almost as unhelpful as the idiom itself, “mark a boat to find a sword”:

There once was a guy on a boat
Who found out that swords do not float.
He pulled out his dagger
With native Chu swagger
And said “I’ll just make me a note.”

There once was a guy named Sir Ye who liked dragons. His tools looked like dragons, his tableware looked like dragons, his house and hall were decked by, you guessed it, dragons. Everyone knew this guy was a little too into dragons.

Word got around to a dragon, who came down from heaven to poke their head in through the window, their tail wrapping around the manor. Sir Ye was so scared that he lost all color as his soul fled his body. It turns out he didn’t like dragons — he liked furry fanart of dragons.

(by Liu Xiang, a contemporary of Julius Caesar a little over 2000 years ago)

In all seriousness, people's ability to connect emotionally with ancient cultures is heavily impeded by stuffy academic translations that follow form over meaning. For example, the translation on wikipedia falls for the classic pitfall of being overly invested in the exact units of measurement given, even though "a thousand li" and "a whole dan" are very much vibes-based, not precise measurements in a mathematical treatise.

All translation is interpretation; if someone wants no interpretation between them and the text, then they have to knuckle down and learn the original language (hey, that's what I'm doing right now). Being afraid to actually speak the idiom of your audience in your translation only strangles it into a lifeless lump lying between languages, lacking the spark that drove someone to write it and others to preserve it.

a little light Classical Chinese translation before bed because that’s what I’m like:

Zengzi’s wife was going to the market when their son ran after her, crying. She said “Go home! When I get back, we’ll slaughter a pig.” When she came home, Zengzi went out to catch a pig. His wife stopped him, saying, “I was just joking with the boy!”

Zengzi told her “you can’t joke with children like that. They have no wisdom, only the guidance of their parents. If you deceive him now, what he will learn is deception. If a mother deceives her child, the child no longer trusts their mother, and nothing more can be taught.” Then they had bacon.

So called because it was discovered in a market in Vietnam, it's a romhack translation from Japanese to English (presumably before the real English version released), except it seems to have been made entirely on the basis of a Japanese-to-Chinese dictionary and then a Chinese-to-English dictionary. For example, what's semantically quite close to "insert"...?

번역이 완료되면, 아래와 같이 메시지가 바뀝니다.

번역 기능은 제가 Hackers' Pub을 맨 처음 구상할 때부터 핵심 기능으로 고려하고 있던 것이었습니다. 소프트웨어 프로그래머로서 일정 수준 이상 성장하기 위해서는 반드시 영어를 배워야만 하는 불합리함이나 그리고 일본어나 중국어 등 영어가 아닌 언어로 쓰인 다양한 자료에 대부분의 외국인은 접근하지 못한다는 아쉬움을 오래 전부터 느꼈기 때문입니다. 다행히 얼마 전부터 LLM의 번역 품질이 아주 좋아졌고, 이를 활용하여 꽤 괜찮은 품질의 번역 기능을 Hackers' Pub 같은 작은 웹사이트에서도 구현할 수 있게 되었네요.

참고로 현재 번역에 쓰이는 모델은 Claude Sonnet 3.7입니다. 저렴하다고는 할 수 없는 모델인데요. 시범적으로 운영해 보고, 비용이 너무 부담된다고 여겨지면 Gemini 2.5 Flash 같은 다른 모델로 전환하는 것도 고려하고 있습니다.

아무튼, 모처럼 추가한 번역 기능이니 많은 분들이 유용함을 누리셨으면 좋겠습니다.

아래는 제가 샘플로 미리 만들어 둔 번역본들입니다:

• Ditch the DIY Drama: Why Use Fedify Instead of Building ActivityPub from Scratch? (영어) → 〈DIY 드라마는 그만: 왜 ActivityPub을 처음부터 구축하는 대신 Fedify를 사용해야 할까요?〉 (한국어)
• 〈애플리케이션 개발 측면에서 본 Drizzle ORM 대 Kysely 비교〉 (한국어) → 「アプリケーション開発の観点から見たDrizzle ORMとKyselyの比較」 (일본어)
• 〈deno-task-hooks: Git 훅을 Deno 태스크로 쉽게 관리하기〉 (한국어) → deno-task-hooks: Easily Manage Git Hooks as Deno Tasks (영어)
• Browser-Native Translation and Language Detection APIs Coming Soon (영어) → 〈브라우저 네이티브 번역 및 언어 감지 API 곧 출시 예정〉 (한국어)

Literary translation as a linguistic survival strategy | John Corbett

Technology can threaten minority languages such as Scots & Nuosu. Prof Corbett argues that literary translation can, among other things, support minority languages & sustain traditional cultures.

What I've taken away from last week's news & roundtable #translation #linguists #ai
https://tipap.mataroa.blog/blog/shocking-news-or-not/

@MastodonEngineering

#Translation

Why are there still so many posts from both individual posters and entire instances where translation is neither offered nor allowed (http 403 or 503)

Certainly if #Mastodon wants to compete as #SocialMedia on a #GlobalStage translations into the reader's stated Interface Language should be mandatory, unless explicitly prohibited on an individual poster-by-poster basis

What gives?

As it is now, I #Mute and #Block posters who will not let me translate their posts into a language I can read

Why do I want to give up my very finite screen space to posts I'll never be able to read?

I don't, and I won't

I'm on an instance currently running v4.3.7

Hackers' Pub은 단문(note)과 게시글(article) 기능이 따로 분리되어 있습니다. 그 중에서 게시글은 LLM을 이용한 번역 기능을 사용할 수 있는데, 이 때 LLM 번역이 오역을 할까 걱정될 수 있습니다. 그럴 때 LLM에게 번역에 관한 지침을 따로 줄 수 있는 방법이 있습니다. 정식 기능은 아니지만, Markdown이 HTML 문법을 허용한다는 점과 HTML 주석 기능을 활용한 것인데요.

본문 맨 위에 <!--와 --> 사이에 LLM을 위한 지침을 써 두면 됩니다. 예를 들어, 〈“조용한 연합우주” 문제를 해결하는 두 가지 접근법: 대화 백필링 메커니즘〉 같은 경우 제가 영어와 일본어 번역을 위해 다음과 같이 지침을 써 두었습니다:

<!--
For English translators:
- The title should be: Two Approaches to Solving the “Quiet Fediverse” Problem: Conversation Backfilling Mechanisms
- It should be noted that @julian@community.nodebb.org's original article is written in English, and this article summarizes, is supplemented with additional analysis, and translates it to Korean.

日本語翻訳者へのお願い：
- 「연합우주」は韓国でのみ使われる表現ですので「フェディバース」と翻訳してください。
- 「@xxx@yyy.com」のようなメンション構文の前後にはスペースを入れてください。
-->

위와 같이 아예 제목을 수동으로 지정할 수도 있고, 특정 번역어를 사용하라고 지시할 수도 있습니다.

LLM 번역이 아주 훌륭하긴 하지만 맥락이 주어지지 않았을 때는 사람 번역가든 LLM이든 여전히 오역을 할 수 있죠. 저자가 직접 맥락을 제공할 수 있다면 오역을 피하는 데에 도움이 될 겁니다.

Reminds me of the localization efforts on Mozilla's Firefox OS several years ago.

"Ibrahima Sarr, a Senegalese coder, led the translation of Firefox into Fulah, which is spoken by 20m people from Senegal to Nigeria. “Crash” became hookii (a cow falling over but not dying); “timeout” became a honaama (your fish has got away). “Aspect ratio” became jeendondiral, a rebuke from elders when a fishing net is wrongly woven."

Mastodon has a great translation tool that lets people read your posts in their favorite languages.

But the feature works only if you set the default language of posts (Preferences > Other > POSTING DEFAULTS > Posting language) and override it when posting in languages other than the default (click the language name button in the post editor).

LLM 기반의 게시글 번역 기능이 추가되었습니다. 우선, 자신이 쓴 게시글이 LLM을 이용해 번역되는 것을 허용하려면, 게시글 공개 설정에서 “LLM 기반 자동 번역 허용” 옵션을 켜 주셔야 합니다. 기존 게시글은 모두 이 옵션이 꺼져 있습니다만, 새로 쓰는 게시글의 경우 기본적으로 켜져 있습니다.

위와 같이 옵션을 켜 준 게시글은 위쪽에 다음과 같이 “다른 언어로 읽기” 메뉴가 표시되게 됩니다. 이 메뉴에 나오는 언어 목록은 언어 설정에서 정할 수 있습니다.

이 중에서 이미 번역이 완료된 언어는 바로 표시되지만, 아직 번역이 완료되지 않은 언어의 경우, 아래와 같이 기다리라는 메시지가 뜨게 됩니다. 게시글의 분량에 따라 번역 시간은 차이가 나지만, 짧으면 30초에서 길면 5분 정도 걸립니다.

번역이 완료되면, 아래와 같이 메시지가 바뀝니다.

번역 기능은 제가 Hackers' Pub을 맨 처음 구상할 때부터 핵심 기능으로 고려하고 있던 것이었습니다. 소프트웨어 프로그래머로서 일정 수준 이상 성장하기 위해서는 반드시 영어를 배워야만 하는 불합리함이나 그리고 일본어나 중국어 등 영어가 아닌 언어로 쓰인 다양한 자료에 대부분의 외국인은 접근하지 못한다는 아쉬움을 오래 전부터 느꼈기 때문입니다. 다행히 얼마 전부터 LLM의 번역 품질이 아주 좋아졌고, 이를 활용하여 꽤 괜찮은 품질의 번역 기능을 Hackers' Pub 같은 작은 웹사이트에서도 구현할 수 있게 되었네요.

참고로 현재 번역에 쓰이는 모델은 Claude Sonnet 3.7입니다. 저렴하다고는 할 수 없는 모델인데요. 시범적으로 운영해 보고, 비용이 너무 부담된다고 여겨지면 Gemini 2.5 Flash 같은 다른 모델로 전환하는 것도 고려하고 있습니다.

아무튼, 모처럼 추가한 번역 기능이니 많은 분들이 유용함을 누리셨으면 좋겠습니다.

아래는 제가 샘플로 미리 만들어 둔 번역본들입니다:

LLM 기반의 게시글 번역 기능이 추가되었습니다. 우선, 자신이 쓴 게시글이 LLM을 이용해 번역되는 것을 허용하려면, 게시글 공개 설정에서 “LLM 기반 자동 번역 허용” 옵션을 켜 주셔야 합니다. 기존 게시글은 모두 이 옵션이 꺼져 있습니다만, 새로 쓰는 게시글의 경우 기본적으로 켜져 있습니다.

위와 같이 옵션을 켜 준 게시글은 위쪽에 다음과 같이 “다른 언어로 읽기” 메뉴가 표시되게 됩니다. 이 메뉴에 나오는 언어 목록은 언어 설정에서 정할 수 있습니다.

Translators: unsung heroes of a multilingual web

Following the launch of the ‘World Wide Web’ (which became known as ‘the web’) – in 1990, users with a native language other than English reached 5 percent by 1994, 20 percent by 1998, 50 percent by 2000 and 75 percent by 2015.

Typesetting in four languages — #Taiwanese or #台語, #Mandarin or #中文, English & Gaelic — is a challenge. But the proofs for our short story collection translated between Taiwanese and Gaelic are coming into shape. And they're beautiful. Stories by Elissa Hunter-Dorans, Kiú-kiong, Naomi Sím & Lisa MacDonald.

The book is available on pre-order, and will be out in June, after which we're planning events in both the UK and Taiwan.

Just reviewed the W3C draft for the Translator and Language Detector APIs. This is genuinely exciting development for web developers.

The proposal would add native browser support for:

• Text translation between languages
• Language detection of arbitrary text
• Both with streaming capabilities

No more relying on third-party translation services or embedding external APIs for basic language operations. All processing happens locally in the browser.

The API design is clean and straightforward:

// Translation example
const translator = await Translator.create({
  sourceLanguage: "en",
  targetLanguage: "fr"
});

const translatedText = await translator.translate("Hello world");

// Language detection example
const detector = await LanguageDetector.create();
const results = await detector.detect("Hello world");
// Returns array of detected languages with confidence scores

This will be a game-changer for multilingual sites and applications. The browser handles downloading appropriate language models and manages usage quotas.

The spec is still in draft form but shows promising progress toward standardizing these capabilities across browsers. Looking forward to seeing this implemented.

@max I checked. While I have another account with mastodon.social which allows Translate as long as you have set a preferred language tweesecake.social does not have that setting. Can @mods please enable #translation for this site if possible ?

Hello “Mast”ers,
Is there way for users to setup translation for posts to preferred language in Mastodon?. In my case, my preferred language is English and I would like for an option at the bottom or in the ellipsis to translate it on request. This way we would have access to more streams of thoughts and perspectives without the confines of the language. Is it just about tweesecake enabling it?
Translation is accessibility too.

I grew up in a monolingual #Spanish-speaking household but was exposed to #English and the #Galician variety of #Portuguese at an early age. Upon moving to Barcelona as a teenager, I adopted #Catalan.

The fact that I majored in #Translation may not come as a surprise.

@yvanspijk Speaking of avocados, I saw this German menu in a restaurant in France. It was probably machine-translated because some of the word choices are bizarre (and "Sup" is not a word in German). Translated to English, it reads:

Facultative

• Sup Pineapple
• Sup Cucumber
• Sup Attorney-at-law
• Sup Sweet Potato
• Sup Onions Red
• Sup Chicken Teriyaki
• Sup Breaded Multigrain Chicken Needles
• Sup Cream Cheese

I can only guess that the "attorney-at-law" was supposed to be avocado. (The "chicken needles" are probably skewers, but I have no idea why "cream cheese" is in English given that Frischkäse is a perfectly cromulent German word.)

I translated (or tried my best anyway) the play "Le Drac" by George Sand, first published in 1861.

Like myself in the books I'm writing, Sand was inspired by the traditional Provençal legend of the drac, but Sand's play presents a somewhat different, more playful version of this being.

It was a fun challenge, if not always easy, and I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes 😳 https://www.stveje.dk/george_sand/drac/

You know those specialised translation sites (DeepL, That Monsterous Advertising Monopoly's translation site, etc.)?

Turns out GPTs translate text amazingly well.

Even with such prompts as:

Translate to colloquial Australian English: "Trotz sechs IPCC-Berichten, 28 COP-Sitzungen, Hunderten von anderen Berichten und Zehntausenden von wissenschaftlichen Abhandlungen hat die Welt nur sehr geringe Fortschritte im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel gemacht, was zum Teil auf den erbitterten Widerstand derjenigen zurückzuführen ist, die vom derzeitigen, auf fossilen Brennstoffen basierenden System finanziell profitieren."

Result:

Here's the translation to colloquial Australian English:

Despite six IPCC reports, 28 COP meetings, hundreds of other reports, and tens of thousands of scientific papers, the world has only made bugger all progress in the fight against climate change. This is partly due to the bloody fierce resistance from those who are raking in the cash from the current fossil fuel-based system.

(Using FastGPT: https://kagi.com/fastgpt?query=Translate+to+colloquial+Australian+English%3A++%22Trotz+sechs+IPCC-Berichten%2C+28+COP-Sitzungen%2C+Hunderten+von+anderen+Berichten+und+Zehntausenden+von+wissenschaftlichen+Abhandlungen+hat+die+Welt+nur+sehr+geringe+Fortschritte+im+Kampf+gegen+den+Klimawandel+gemacht%2C+was+zum+Teil+auf+den+erbitterten+Widerstand+derjenigen+zur%C3%BCckzuf%C3%BChren+ist%2C+die+vom+derzeitigen%2C+auf+fossilen+Brennstoffen+basierenden+System+finanziell+profitieren.%22)

I'd also tested against French, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, and English.

Looking for a trans-friendly English - Cantonese translator. I have a 🏳️‍⚧️ friend who needs translation assistance to come out to her partner’s parents who are native Cantonese speakers with limited English.

Please boost for visibility! Thanks!

If you speak any language* other than English well enough to know the vernacular, please reply with the translation or equivalent of

I recently wrote a #Fedify manual in Korean, and then translated it into English and Japanese. It's quite a long post, but it's relatively easy to accomplish with #Claude. Here's how I used it:

• Utilize projects to provide prior knowledge.
• Translate the table of contents first.
• Define a glossary.
• Translate chapter by chapter.

However, this method assumes you speak the target language—it's a way to reduce the labor of #translation, not a way to become fluent in a language you don't know.

nothing like changing your segmentation rules and f ing up your entire translation.

(will it help me in the long run? yes. did it generate dozens of orphan segments that I now have to go in and fix manually? also yes. (T_T) )

I realized I don't have a nice pinned #introduction post, so let's do that. (How many hashtags I can squeeze in?)

I'm an associate prof of #Chinese #Language and #Literature at #WashingtonCollege in #Chestertown, MD in the US. I mainly work on #Translation, #Narrative, and #Satire. Because I'm at a #SLAC, I teach just about everything, including #film, #志怪 #Strange, and hopefully starting next year, a class in Narrative in #VideoGames

I'll post #politics and #sports and #goofy stuff.

I have created a webpage that documents all my receipts and provides a detailed timeline of the events related to the British Museum's use of my translations of Chinese feminist Qiu Jin's poetry without permission, credit, or pay earlier this year.

Hello! I just migrated to digipres.club. Thanks for having me!

I have been writing #InteractiveFiction for decades, and also write about video game history, #DigitalPreservation #digipres, #retrogaming, #translation, etc. I'm bilingual 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 and toot in either language!

My last project was a #TextAdventure published on 30+ different platforms: hlabrande.itch.io/tristam-island.

I'm currently working on a #cento supported by a grant from the Canadian Council for the Arts.

Let's talk! 🙂

When you find your own work in the museum shop... #translation #xl8 #books #BookTranslations #HenryMoore

Hello everyone!

I am a #freelance #zzp #translator based in the #Netherlands, translating from #English and #German into #Dutch. My areas of specialisation in #translation are #advertising/ #transcreation, #fashion and #beauty, #art and #culture, #travel and #tourism, and #BookTranslations. I love #language, #books, #museums and #London.

Thrilled (lame pun intended...) to see that my first thriller #translation* will be out on 1 November: I translated Michelle Frances' The Boyfriend into Dutch.

*100% human-translated

Let me know what your experience with LibreTranslate is :)

J'ai plein de nouveaux abonnés depuis quelques jours, donc je pensais écrire un post de présentation.

Moi c'est Cedar, je suis une femme blanche d'une trentaine d'années vivant en Ontario au Canada. Je suis #anarchiste et je m'implique dans les luttes depuis bientôt vingt ans. De ces jours, je m'intéresse surtout à des enjeux liés à la #prison, y compris la solidarité avec les prisonniers détenus dans ma ville et l'opposition à l'expansion du système carcéral.

Je suis traductrice de métier (#traduction) alors attendez-vous à des postes sur les langues.

C'est la première fois que j'utilise les médias sociaux et ça reste expérimental. J'utilise Mastodon un peu comme si c'était LiveJournal dans la première moitié des années 2000, donc méfiez-vous. Je poste en anglais et en français.

***

I've had lots of new followers the last couple of days so I thought I would make an #introduction post.

My name is Cedar, I'm a white woman in my thirties living in Ontario, Canada. I'm a #anarchist and have been involved in struggles for coming on 20 years. These days I'm mostly focused on #prison issues, including solidarity with prisoners in my city and opposition to expansion of the prison system.

I work as a translator (#translation) so you can expect some posts about language.

This is my first time ever having social media, and it is still an experiment. I use Mastodon a little like it was LiveJournal in the early 2000s so watch out. I post in English and in French.

To all #gamedev and designers interested in a #French #localisation or #translation of their #videogame or #ttrpg.

I am always available for a chat about a potential partnership. Feel free to contact me!

I am very happy to share that, thanks to Literature Ireland, I will be translating into #Bulgarian the novel "Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha" by Irish author Roddy Doyle.

The novel won the Booker Prize in 1993. I don't remember exactly why the book grabbed my attention, but after I finished reading it, I just had to convince my publisher to get the translation rights 😀

Here's a little something by Roddy Doyle himself about how he came to write Paddy:

Update. I missed this from last year: "We broadly review the advantages and limitations of…machine #translation…and propose that translation can serve as both a short- and a long-term solution for making science more…accessible, globally representative, and impactful beyond the academy. We outline actions that individuals and institutions can take to support multilingual science."

If you know someone who wants a real person to write technical content, or edit text - especially medical, technical or academic - or translate from German to English please pass my details along or get in touch with me.

I'd love to work with plagiarism-averse clients who don't like their content being in or from an AI's training dataset.

Looking for short or long term projects with flexible hours, not a salaried position.

Stay with me, I forgot to make my #introduction when I moved here. I'm a fedizen since Feb. 2019, but I finally decided to settle at my own place. (It’s great, you should try it.)

I might post of my work about #translation, #writing #fiction, #publishing. Look out for #cats #gaming #books #sciencefiction and me being baffled by #politics.
