When I started the IC_Null channel the idea was to cover topics primarily about #cybersecurity, #hacking, #pentesting etc. from a #blind perspective. Blind as in #screenReader user, that is. But an overarching topic is showing off what jobs are (up to a point) doable for this demographic and where the obstacles are. Today's stream leans that way: we'll be looking at the premier #translation and #localization tool, Trados Studio. Supposedly they have upped their #accessibility as of late. I'll be the judge of that
I'll see you all on #youtube and #twitch just under 1.5 hours from now. https://twitch.tvic_null https://youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #selfPromo #stream #trados

We're thrilled to #announce that we have #partnered with WeMavin Language Services Co., Ltd. for all our localization needs!

What do you think about the idea, to have (context specific) link in each GUI dialog redirecting to the opportunity to modify the current translation or report problems?

Localization of a TypeScript app? Meaning the texts the users see adapt to the language configured in the browser or otherwise picked? There are a lot of copious frameworks out there. But for small projects, an extremely simple **and** type-safe way is to just use a JavaScript object and use TypeScript typing to make sure a translation request in the code does not request something which cannot exist.

See my codeberg snippet.
https://codeberg.org/harald/Codeschnipselnotizen/src/branch/main/typescript/Localizer.ts

Localization is important to make Decentralization work and last.

Decentralization without Localization can be susceptible to Centralization.

Decentralization with Localization spreads out decision-making and power to groups (that could consistent of a single individual) with a personal stake in the outcome of the decision-making.

Which creates incentives that lead to greater resilience to Centralization.

Added Simplified Chinese and Portuguese(Brazil) languages to my Open Source game. But some strings are translated used Deepl.

If you are fluent on any of those languages and want to contribute, by reviewing the strings, this is the CSV file: https://github.com/Eibriel/RobotAnomaly/blob/main/localization/localization.csv

The @w3c Timed Text #WorkingGroup invites implementations of the "Dubbing and Audio Description Profiles of TTML2 (DAPT)" specification for exchanging timed text content in #dubbing and #audio description workflows #timetoimplement

https://www.w3.org/TR/dapt/

DAPT enables scripting, voicing, and mixing for dubbing and audio descriptions, supporting video #localization and #accessibility.

We’ve hit a repdigit milestone: 5555 unfinished string translations in Back In Time project!

Anyone up for some translation fun? In sum there are 427 strings in each of 47 languages. Feel free to add a new language.

In 2023, I thought my indie dev career had taken a huge hit. Apple Sherlocked my app RemafoX. But instead of quitting, I built something better.

Now, TranslateKit 3 makes AI-powered #localization effortless.

Here’s the full journey, including how it all started with a weekend hack:

→ Nigerians are building affordable alternatives to AWS and #Google Cloud
https://restofworld.org/2025/aws-google-cloud-nigeria-alternatives/

“The payments to #AWS gradually skyrocketed as the naira depreciated around 70% against the #dollar between 2020 and 2024”

“Besides the option to pay in #naira, these companies allow #Nigerians to store their #data within the #country — an advantage most of their Western rivals lack. #Local servers give businesses the benefits of low #latency and data #localization […].”

I uh... may have forgotten to localize something. Otherwise dropping in the latest translations has gone surprisingly well, no major unsolvable problems.

I still can't believe my luck. I *just* got into freelance #localization / #translation and I immediately got headhunted by a really good and reputable agency. I am looking at the dire state of "clients" on ProZ right now and can't imagine if that was my life right now instead.

Examples of changing bad currency into good in #translation.

These will work with any translation environment such as Trados Studio, Phrase or Wordfast capable of using regular expressions for Find & Replace. Also with other text processing programs that are regex-savvy.

compulsive localization of a random comic for children ("斗罗大陆"); mostly I just like the word "myriad" and want everyone to know it literally means ten thousand (the literal text is like "a soul beast of ten years, a soul beast of a hundred years...,")

TIL my halo is purple.

I noticed the German translation of Planify could use some improvements. Some of the text strings made no sense and were outright wrong about how the app works.

Then I noticed some peculiarities of some of the source text strings — lots of duplicates, differing in capitalization, weird phrasings, etc.

Went into the code to investigate in hopes of eliminating duplicates and learn the context in which they're used.

Let's just say this is me right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbSehcT19u0
