#multilingual

2025-06-16

As a non-native English speaker from a not-so-popular language group, learning to read even casual science stuff was an uphill battle. First I had to learn English to a reasonable level. Then I realized that English-Romanian dictionaries hadn’t really kept up with science.

I eventually managed to get my hands on a fancy English-only dictionary (yes, a printed one, this was a while ago), but then I ran into another problem: I'd start from one definition, only to find another unfamiliar word in the explanation, then another one in that definition and so on, until I forgot where I had started. And even when I did understand a concept, I'd often be stuck with the English word and with a lot of frustration about trying to convey that in my own language.

Some of those struggles are outdated now. At least you no longer have to deal with a giant dictionary pressing into your ribs if you’re reading lying down. But the language gap in science communication still exists.

That’s why I’m launching a community project: The brain across languages.

We’re inviting students who speak more than one language to help us translate Neurofrontiers content into as many languages as possible.

If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), details here: neurofrontiers.blog/the-brain-

Boosts are very much appreciated!

In the line of D&D jokes about living out fantasies like making a difference, having friends, getting 6-8 hours of sleep a night-

Noticed the line in the PHB that *all* starting characters know at *least* three languages, also.

Maybe I should try learning at least a second one to fluency...

Just putting this out in the open. If anyone on the fediverse needs a native Hindi language speaker to help translate stuff, feel free to hit me up. I'll try my best. Even if it's for a personal task. Don't be shy.

There can be beauty in death, bittersweet as it may be. A death surrounded by family, music, memories—love.

A piece inspired by a new friend. Mixed Japanese calligraphy and Latin #calligraphy. India ink on parchment-textured paper.

Poetry is my own. I am a student of the Japanese language, pardon awkward poetry—at the very least I expect I've rather unceremoniously mixed classical and modern Japanese.

A calligraphy piece, shot from a lower angle to show detail of the ink and strokes.A calligraphy piece, photographed straight-on, on a warm cream-coloured parchment. It features a haiku in both Japanese and English. Japanese calligraphy, in cursive script as one vertical line along the right side, that reads: hototogisu  sono me ni mizu ga kokoro kiku (時鳥目に見ずが心聞く). In English, it reads, "The time-birds call. And though your eyes are sightless now, still the heart will hear." Signed Laura Chan, dated 2025-06-04, along with the creator's Japanese stamp.

You want to use a #StaticSiteGenerator and need to support #multilingual sites? It’s now easier than ever! For quite a while, #Pelican had a great plugin for that use case. Now I helped migrate it to the new plugin format, which means that it can easily be installed from #PyPI. github.com/pelican-plugins/i18 #MultilingualDH #MinimalComputing

I needed an excuse to make a word cloud shaped like a brain and I finally found one. Who said dreams don’t come true?

But in all seriousness, I learned a couple of things about how to work with text data, especially short text across multiple languages and I’ve shared that here:

Ok so my #Multilingual self is LOVING this year's #eurovision :

#SanMarino sings in Italian
- ok not that surprising,
But how about:

#Estonia sings in Italian
#Netherlands sings in French
#Finland sings in German

So different from when #ESC was mostly English!

Well done!!

2025-05-13

This year's #ESC has more questions than answers:

- #SanMarino singing about Italy
- #Estonia singing in Italian
- and the #Netherlands singing in French

I love it! #Multilingual #Europe
