From now on, translate.mapcomplete.org supports logging in with #OpenStreetMap (with the source code repository as intermediate step).
This means one less account to manage!
Thanks to all the translators for providing translations. And of course, feel free to join the #translation effort to get #MapComplete into your language.

The Tang dynasty poet Han Yu (768–824) wrote a well-known fable about Bole and qianlima.
Only when an era has a man like Po-le are there thousand-li horses. Thousand-li horses are common, but Po-les, on the other hand, are rare. Thus even though there may be famous horses, they only become abused under the hand of the man to whom they are enslaved, and they die in the stables—never having been recognized as thousand-li horses. Thousand-li horses at times consume a whole dan [approximately 60 kg] of grain in one feeding. If the one who feeds them does so without knowing they are capable of a thousand-li, then even though they may have the ability to go so far, they, having not eaten their fill, are lacking in strength, and their talent and beauty are not apparent. Moreover, if one wanted to rank them with regular horses, they would not make the grade. How then could they be asked to have the ability of going a thousand li? They are whipped inappropriately and fed in such a way that they cannot fulfil their innate talents. Yet when they cry out, they cannot be understood. With whip in hand the man approaches them and says, "There are not any good horses in the empire." Alas! Is it that there are really no good horses or is it perhaps that there is no one who really understands horses?](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/698069 "(long text warning)

"Fittingly, the 1,350-person Translation Bureau is leading the way in the federal government in experimenting with AI. It is developing the first project under Ottawa’s AI strategy meant to serve as a showpiece for what government can do with technology: a self-serve automated #translation tool for civil servants.
If the government is serious, the Bureau should set itself on a mission to all but put itself out of business, and to drastically cut the amount Ottawa spends on its services to fulfill its Official Languages Act obligations. If the translation profession is largely disappearing, so too should government spending and employment in the area, showing that AI could deliver meaningful cost savings and operating efficiencies."

This Global Accessibility Awareness Day we'd like to shout out to our translators! NVDA has been translated into over 55 languages to provide access to technology for blind and vision impaired people around the world. Recently we spoke with Harun in Türkiye, who shared how access, in his own language, has helped him: nvaccess.org/post/harun-fast-l…

Biweekly is a terrible word.
-- Would you know if “biweekly” means twice a week or twice a month in this email?
Edit: Guys, the whole point is that it can mean both :P

I've been working on a thing for a few weeks, and I'm hoping there are #Language / #FileFormat / #Markdown nerds and experts on Mastodon who can provide some input and sanity-check.
I looked for an existing markdown extension file format that would allow me to write a document in multiple languages, and I couldn't find anything that fit the bill.
So, I decided to create my own. 🤷♂️

There are 2 methods included: one for those comfortable making pull requests and another for those who are not. And if you're not up for making a full translation, I'd appreciate help ensuring new translations are accurate as they are created.
Thanks in advance!

What happens when you cross my crazy wak ass blind friend group, with state of de art AI technology, with my rediculous, embarrassing laugh, with a video about bad translations?
You get this: youtu.be/IpLWg9U4uRE?si=uhHKIV…
Fair warning, this is a lightly edited Discord voice chat session, and I apparently had my gain set waaaaaaay to high, so expect clipping and general audio discomfort.

So I am now ready to take on a new mentee. If you are Black or Brown (including South East Asian), are fluent-ish in Japanese, and want to become a manga translator, maybe I can help. Send me a message here or by email (littlenemo1905@gmail.com). Sorry, this doesn't apply to folks of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean backgrounds, since such people are already well represented in professional manga translation.
Boosts welcome! #manga #translation #Black #Brown #SouthEastAsia
This looks cool: #mozilla has released an add-on for #firefox that can do web page #translation *locally* instead of sending data to the cloud.

Based on Project Bergamot and implemented in WebAssembly
The translations add-on is now available in the Firefox Add-On store for installation on Firefox Nightly, Beta and in General Release.Rebecca Smith (The Mozilla Blog)
