Tip of the day: If an application has translated its interface into another language, you can choose the language in which it is used. #DEVONthink is, e.g., available in English, French, and German. Here is, how you can easily change an app’s language on the Mac. #localization #macos #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231121-change-app-language

PODCAST!
"Josh emphasizes the need for a new economic framework that prioritizes cooperation, well-being, and ecological stewardship.
How could we change the incentives that are embedded in our economy to prioritize the well-being of people and the planet? What would happen to our economies if we rooted them in the science of psychology, ecology, and physics?"
Das ist einer der unterhaltsamsten Vorträge die ich kenne zu Schei? encoding und den Problemen bei Localization und Internationalization: Dylan Beattie – There's no such thing as plain text. Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajfb5LSbQVM #encoding #ascii #internationalization #localization #i18n #l10n
The GNOME Welcome website has a Translation page now. Check it out for basic information of the GNOME Translation Project, including where the translation takes place and the room for chat about i18n and l10n.
Thanks Victoria for working on this!

With so many English fan translations in progress for the Saturn, it can be hard to keep track of them all. I take a look at three of them — Wizardry 6, Magic School Lunar and Yu-No:

Looks like it is time to archive Virtaal, the first graphic translation tool I've ever used.
4 Untranslatable Words Behind Patreon’s Internationalization Overhaul, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):
@rauschma Hi, did you mention recently that a TypeScript union type is limited to 25 elements? I can't find your post about it. (Searching Mastodon is a bit of a black art, it seems.) Is that true or do I remember this incorrectly?
The reason is that I am experimenting with scheme for localizations where the allowed strings to localize are elements of a union type. A limit of 25 would be really bad.

EDIT: Thank you all so much for sharing this, and to those who provided feedback!
I think we're good for now, but don't hesitate to suggest further improvements, to any of the translations.

I wanted to share some of my work for #PortfolioDay. I do #bookmaking and #bookbinding in my spare time. I love doing something with my hands. I've had to take a small break since our child was born but I hope to get back into the swing of things in the new year with better paper, new ideas, and more patience. Please see the next post with links to over a many projects from over the past year!

"When they spoke—at meetings, in testimony—they described a neighborhood I don’t recognize: dangerous, unfriendly, high-traffic, unpleasant. They talked about the church as an oasis surrounded by hardship. That’s not true, but to the extent that we believe it, we never seem to stop & ponder our role in it. I live here, but they largely don’t. So they share a kind of group fiction, reinforced by distance & repetition."

A healthy economy doesn't break if one big conglomerate goes down, for whatever reason.
Our economy is not healthy, but it could be. Local and Regional producers are the key to a sustainable future, not relying on exploitative food and goods shipped halfway around the world.
The caveat is that sweatshop conditions cannot be tolerated. It only works with living wages and reasonable incomes.

pleased to report my Chinese is strong enough to get mad at inadequately quality-controlled translations
it also mixes up store (merchant) and store (in box)
Food sovereignty, IMHO, means growing affordable local food first and foremost for local people, and only afterwards sending excesses to the regional or global marketplace.
That is the opposite of how predatory & extraction capitalism works - taking the best farmland and using it exclusively for export, leaving little or nothing affordable for local people to eat.

Glad I passed on buying "Abundance" at the Symposium Bookstore here in Providence.
The main premise of this book is false.
We cannot trust centralized or top down governance to make good choices for local conditions & local issues.
In fact, the opposite is true.

"The Strong Towns approach rejects the entire pursuit of permanence. It recognizes that healthy communities must be able to evolve."
