If you are a fountain pen fan and wish you had a way to use up more ink to justify buying even more ink, might I suggest handwriting the first draft of a four-volume 19th century memoir translation from French to English? I am on volume four and have flown through ink over the past couple of years. And bought more. 😁

I see that not even Google is immune to bad no context translation, and Microsoft wasn't the only place that struggles with it (speaking from experience here)

I'm watching this video through Google Drive, and this means "Of quality." Not "Quality," that would be "Kvalita" ("Kvalita" the noun that means "Quality". What's written is an adjective)

My biggest complaint about #Mastodon, at the moment, is the inability to #translate posts. Being given the option to translate a post, from a language you don't speak, should be on by default. There are some posts I can click an option to translate and others (see example image), I can't.

It does bug me as I would very much like to know what these #Japanese posts are saying, especially those that relate to #anime.

I already own all the Murderbot books via my libro.fm subscription, but I finished listening to the last one earlier this week and I've been feeling kind of lonely. I'd love to buy the paperback copies, but the weak yen really makes the expense harder to absorb at the moment.

So in an attempt to scratch that itch and also for educational purposes*, I bought the first four novellas in Japanese today. Even though I got those first four all at once, since the Japanese release compiled them into two compact volumes, getting them in Japanese was both cheaper and more space conscious!

*The translator created an original personal pronoun for Murderbot. This is fascinating and I want to see what other cool tricks the translator used to balance all the gender and personhood stuff.

When Jeremy Blaustein had to translate “現地調達” (genchi chōtatsu, local acquisitions) for Metal Gear Solid, he coined the term OSP or “on-site procurement,” a term that went on to be used by other games and continues…

Browser-Native Translation and Language Detection APIs Coming Soon

hackers.pub/@hongminhee/2025/t

Hackers' Pub · Browser-Native Translation and Language Detection APIs Coming SoonJust reviewed the W3C draft for the Translator and Language Detector APIs. This is genuinely exciting development for web developers. The proposal would add native browser support for:Text translation between languagesLanguage detection of arbitrary textBoth with streaming capabilities<No more relying on third-party translation services or embedding external APIs for basic language operations. All processing happens locally in the browser. The API design is clean and straightforward:// Translation exampleconst translator = await Translator.create({ sourceLanguage: "en", targetLanguage: "fr"});const translatedText = await translator.translate("Hello world");// Language detection exampleconst detector = await LanguageDetector.create();const results = await detector.detect("Hello world");// Returns array of detected languages with confidence scores<This will be a game-changer for multilingual sites and applications. The browser handles downloading appropriate language models and manages usage quotas. The spec is still in draft form but shows promising progress toward standardizing these capabilities across browsers. Looking forward to seeing this implemented.
