The Pronounator They/Them 🦄

Mensen die nog "directrice" zeggen, zeggen die ook "Zij is de prima inter pares"?

Ik werd vandaag na n half uur wachten bij de apotheek meneer genoemd bij t weggaan.
Ondanks de wachtende/meeluisterende mensen die inmiddels op de hoogte waren van mn naam, straatnaam, geboortedatum en precieze medicijngebruik, keerde ik na een korte interne strijd terug naar de balie en zei dat ik geen meneer ben.
"Oh, sorry".

🤔 Sorry voor de fout of voor dat ik geen meneer ben?

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.

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.

When I started the IC_Null channel the idea was to cover topics primarily about #cybersecurity, #hacking, #pentesting etc. from a #blind perspective. Blind as in #screenReader user, that is. But an overarching topic is showing off what jobs are (up to a point) doable for this demographic and where the obstacles are. Today's stream leans that way: we'll be looking at the premier #translation and #localization tool, Trados Studio. Supposedly they have upped their #accessibility as of late. I'll be the judge of that 💀
I'll see you all on #youtube and #twitch just under 1.5 hours from now. https://twitch.tvic_null youtube.com/@blindlyCoding #selfPromo #stream #trados

“By fusing a dialect-laden verse with knowledge and respect for Dante’s original, Gray has, almost inadvertently, built a bridge across borders and nations. Yes, this is a strange, idiosyncratic, individual text, but it is at the same time an undeniably Scottish one.”

—Jamie Mackay, via Words Without Borders

Words Without BordersIn "HELL," Alasdair Gray Creates a Celtic, Wind-lashed Translation of Dante's "Inferno" - Words Without BordersSince the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri finished his Divina Commedia, in 1320, more than one hundred different translations of his work have been published in English, over a dozen in this decade alone.
