This year at @fosdem, I'm giving a speech about videogames, translations and language barriers.

More specifically, I'll talk about how translations in @Luanti work and how my Luanti server @aes benefits from it: how, thanks to @Codeberg staff, our translation pipeline spiked once we migrated to @weblate and how we now feature 14 different languages. See you there!

📍 Brussels
🗓️ Sunday, 1 February
🕙 16:45-17:00
