What if …

What if someone coded a plugin to connect PoEdit to … not Crowdin, not Localazy, but to connect PoEdit to a Weblate instance using the API at least for the projects based on .po gettext ?

How a Portuguese-to-English Phrasebook Became a Cult Comedy Sensation
Meet 1883’s most absurd language guide.

by Tucker Leighty-Phillips June 29, 2016

"...It quickly gained notoriety among English speakers, including author Mark Twain, who wrote the introduction for the first English edition, published in 1883. Twain endorsed the book, saying “Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully, nobody can hope to produce its fellow; it is perfect.”

"...The book itself is a guessing game of intention and phrases contorted in the unorthodox translation process. If English as She Is Spoke is to be believed, trade occupations might include Coffeeman, Porkshop-Keeper, and Chinaman. The list of aquatic life noted under the heading “Fishes and Shell-Fishes” features well-known sea creatures like the Wolf, the Hedge-hog, and a Sorte of Fish..."

Hello everyone and especially people who contribute to the #translation of #YunoHost ❤️

I'm working on making manifests of apps translatable directly on our Weblate (it is used for the questions during installation and also to generate READMEs of apps)

I've launch a beta testing and a few apps are available for translation here https://translate.yunohost.org/projects/yunohost-apps/

It would be great if some of you could translate a few strings on differents applications to ensure that everything is working correctly ❤️

Any fluent German/English speakers out here? I have a translation question. Technical knowledge would be helpful, but I doubt that’s necessary as it’s a more generic question I hope.

Do not forget to translate these boosts and favorites 😉

pumptranslations, to linguistics

If you want to translate something into a language you don’t know for free and achieve the best quality, I would recommend using DeepL for machine translation and then asking ChatGPT to “review” or “refine” the text. This method can produce readable, good-looking texts. However, they usually contain multiple inconsistencies and mistakes, and you can’t be sure they convey the intended meaning and respect all the details.
