Because my Mastodon feed still shows me content in languages other than English and/or Malay, I think I will soon find ways to get a translation API and configure my instance to be able to translate any posts on my feed.

I'm facing a conundrum. English is the language that I share with the majority of people I interact with here in the fediverse. I mostly follow tech people, and I believe my followers are also mostly tech people.

On the other hand, my mother tongue is Catalan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language) and the best thing that can happen to a "minority" language is having people actually use it.

In #Bulgarian, adding little fillers like "бе" or "ма" can instantly flip a phrase into something rude or at least very street-level colloquial. It's almost like the opposite of Japanese. Do other languages have small words that completely shift the tone like that?

Update. New from #COAR ( @coar_repositories): "This paper explores the concept of #semantic #multilingual #search: an emerging approach that retrieves information by meaning rather than by exact wording, enabling users to search in any supported language and discover relevant work across all languages…When you ask a question in your language, the entire world should have a chance to understand and respond."

Hi @debby

your description is very insightful.
#multilingual #multilanguage #i18n

#fediverse #activitypub et al.
Imagine a fediverse software doing it like it was meant to be:
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#naturalLanguageValues ff. and recent comment by Evan https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/616#issuecomment-2830962874

Actors define which language they are capable of and maybe how much, just like the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Headers/Accept-Language

The software can know the incoming languages even if they are not defined:
https://github.com/redaktor/languages
incl. 852 languages, also esperanto and those from the people having no internet (am the author).

Then Debby gets the posts in English or Esperanto when available, can keep post seperate and „no more mixing languages and annoying anyone! “
