I don’t think anyone needs help translating what’s going on the other side of the pond right now.

Do you let AI generate code and publish it without a thorough check? Then why would you do this with your localizations? It's a recipy for failure and should be avoided at all cost.

Here at Wordcrafts we combine the power of AI and MT pre-translation with traditional translation technology and trained experts to bulletproof your international success.

✨ Creativity is at the heart of everything we do at .
So much so, we decided to dig into it ourselves — and we uncovered some pretty fascinating things.

From Ancient Greece to the Digital Age, our little research project looked at through time and type. You can see the highlights in our new mind map: mindnode.com/gallery

And we’re not stopping there. For one year, we’re putting creativity front and center with a new theme every month. Let’s see where it takes us. 🚀🧠

@ices Wir setzen Enpass ein, da die Apps "okayish" sind, man das aber einfach selbst per WebDav syncen kann.

Yeah, we don't wear suits and ties either. We strongly believe competence does not come from the clothes anyone is wearing.

Vocabulary Wednesday: Localization (L10n)! 🌐
While i18n preps your app, localization takes it global! 🌍 It's adapting your app with translations, cultural nuances, & regional preferences.
Think language swaps, date/time formats, & even imagery! 💯

I have a couple of questions. Who was the artist who thought this logo design would be good idea? And who at FU.Life Group actually approved this logo design to be fixed on every student hall they operate?

A big logo on a student hall building. On top are five columns, with the middle column being the longest and sticking out in height. Below these columns the letters FU. The whole logo design has a striking similarity with a hand showing the middle finger, and the FU underneath being the acronym for "fuck you".

"Driving with special permit between your legs only!"

Be careful how you phrase text. This applies to both road signs and software ui.

This ambiguous German road sign could be read as outlined above. What it actually wanted to say is: "Driving at walking speed and with special permit only".

German road sign:
"Befahren nur mit Sondergenehmigung im Schritt gestattet"
"Driving with special permit between your legs only"

Strava, how could I ever possibly forgive you?

"Sugreida" could've been avoided with a grammar checker or a human grammar checker: a proofreader/editor.

The correct word is "sugerida" (Brazilian Portuguese).

Also, there should be a space after "Concluiu".

#TranslationFail #xl8 #Localization #Translation #l10n #Localisation

Strava screenshot from my phone:

"Meta sugreida" instead of "meta sugerida" as localized to Brazilian Portuguese
