It’s sometimes *so* frustrating #English speakers cannot understand that a) one English word can acquire many distinct translations, or b) several differing English words can be translated with one and the same word.
Today’s pet peeve: “ #shortcut”. In @Vivaldi, it stands not only for ’a special key combination’ but also ‘an icon on the speed dial tab’. In Finnish these require different translations; however, no hints are provided by the developers as to which one is meant. #localization #l10n
Resources, le logiciel de monitoring par défaut du futur Ubuntu, sort une nouvelle version le 1er février.

* Real-time language switching from the #UI.
* Browser language detection w/ persistence.
* Currently: English and Spanish, more to come.
* Separates UI localization ( #l10n) from content language selection.
More i18n is WIP, e.g., language preference from profile, RTL support, locale-aware formatting, docs and website translations, adaptive UI, community translations.

I know that it may sound like one of the milder and sillier neurological conditions, but it's a thing nevertheless, and it has unexpected real-world consequences.
They could call them, I don't know, "FIRST" and "SECOND", or "LAST", or something. But no, they gave them names that millions of people like me have a hard time understanding. And it happened when Kurt Cobain was alive, so now they can't be changed.
In general, any usage of the words "left" and "right" in computers is at least a yellow flag, or even a red flag. Anywhere. User interface strings, help pages, visual design documents, programming language keywords, and so on. It's a likely #accessibility problem for people with Left–right confusion and a likely #localization problem for people who read right-left ( #RTL) languages. I happen to belong to both groups.

Don't mind me, I've just used a new (to me) Gnome app for a few minutes

Dive into the key distinctions between internationalization ( #i18n) and localization ( #l10n), and explore what truly matters beyond language, from character encoding and right-to-left designs to culturally adapted formats for dates, numbers, and names.
