Today, I decided to back @gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org with a monthly donation of 10,00€. The #GoToSocial project is free and open source Fediverse software providing a social media microblogging system that you can host yourself (or join an existing instance of) – very similar to how #Mastodon works, the software this instance is running. In years of hosting my own personal GoToSocial instance, I have come to love the project and never once run into an issue, even during setup, whe...

Today I learned that Feast of the Ascension (Christi Himmelfahrt) is not celebrated throughout all of Europe! Or, well, at least not as a public holiday. I had no idea! The agency I work for is based in Portugal and apparently it is just a regular workday there. Happy Father&#39;s Day to all who celebrate! #FathersDay #ChristiHimmelfahrt #FeastOfTheAscension

Here&#39;s a silly resource I just found: a comprehensive, annotated list of comic book FX (like &quot;Argh!&quot;, &quot;BOOM!&quot;, &quot;Yeowch!&quot; or &quot;BRRAAAP&quot;), with examples! https://www.comicbookfx.com/fxlist.php Not quite was I was looking for, but I am so glad it exists. #linguistics #translation #localisation #localization #comics #comicBooks

Dear fellow linguists in #German #localisation … Could we please collectively agree to stop hyphenating compound words so much? If it&#39;s a Spreewaldgurke in real life, why would it be a Düsterwald-Beere in your game? Yours kindly, Your LQA. 😅 (Only hashtags beyond this point) #localization #translation #linguistics #deutsch #gamedev

Come join the German translators&#39; club! We&#39;ve got...: - Formal language in wildly inappropriate situations, sir! - Over-use of hyphenised compound-nouns! - ›Inconsistent‹ punctuation “standards„!? - A conspicious absence of any dialect, sociolect, slang or casual manner of speech whatsoever! And somehow despite it all – a boatload of fun at work every day. 💜 I really, genuinely do love the vast, sometimes silly, but always exciting world of the localisation industry. You folks...

I translated the free and open source #Minecraft mod **Autowork** to German! Autowork expands the automation capabilities of the base game, adding a wide variety of utilities to enable you to build all kinds of contraptions. What makes it stand out from most other technology mods is its simplicity: it very much adheres to the &#39;vanilla&#39; style of automation, works with Redstone, does not add any new energy systems, complex HUDs or world generation. It&#39;s simply a do-it-your...
