this post on bidirectional text in HTML and CSS caught my eye! As someone passionate about web development, I find it fascinating how different writing systems can be accommodated through clever CSS techniques. I've been experimenting with RTL layouts recently using SmythOS to prototype some multilingual interfaces

There was a question and a lot of debate about using AI to just *generate* content in the target language. *No* translation. I *disagree* with a lot of smart people on this. It reminds me of those early self-driving car inventors who dreamed of lobbying the government to change the roads to make driving easier to automate. (Плохому танцору и ______ мешают...) Actually in both roads and content, that already exists -- railroads, "controlled language", templates for generating finance articles and product descriptions... It makes problems so easy automate that you don't even need AI. If you can do that, great, you should! But most content, and most technology, doesn't work like that. The 0.0...1% of content that gets translated with a human touch today is relatively valuable - that's why somebody got it translated even though it's painfully slow and expensive. As a buyer or user, when you want a translation, you generally don't want just some content. You want that article, that video, that contract, that post, that comment, that medical record, that app, that book... It'd be a joke to impose on humanity that everything we create be so bland and structured that it can be trivially generated in a hundred languages. Most translation is just fundamentally downstream of content creation, and always will be. Dealing with that is half the job. C'est la vie. Not too different than transport, medicine or any other technology that has to deal with the world as it is and would hardly be needed anyway if it weren't that way. So I file this idea under what Peter Thiel calls "indefinite optimism". It's not pessimism, but it's not a concrete vision of the future. And, like pessimism, it often becomes an excuse for doing nothing. Or for not succeeding at anything. Which is why it's so popular. Back to work.

Whaouh, such an amazing human and linguistical adventure ! They are saving a culture and making the world richer, wiser and simply better by spreading the spîrit of a great and ancient and still alive people, the Fulani. Thanks for the world !

thank you for uploading

How can this be done or learnt so I can utilise this with my Fijian Language? Just asking...

Obrigada, Renato!

Today, I have learned that I am a duck and need to become a chicken. The Translation Technology Landscape Today::IMUG 2018.09.20 Brilliant presentation by Renato Beninatto, especially the Q&A (minute 42:53 - 43:48) Minute 42:53 - 43:48 "Learn marketing skills. Sales and marketing. You are an enterprise of one if you are a freelance translator, and you need to think of yourself as a business. So, a business needs to have sales. It needs to have financial management and it needs to have good marketing. So, that is where you need to invest. This is how you are going to differentiate. It is not who is the best translator that wins, it is the one who shouts the loudest. Do you know why we eat chicken eggs and not duck eggs? Does anybody know? What is the noise that a duck does when se lays an egg? They don't make any noise! They are quiet. How about a chicken? You always know where they laid their eggs! Right. That's marketing. That's what you need to do with your business [... and network, network, network]."

Nice work , adlam tan

On diarama fota thank you

It's amazing really. May God bless you and all the wonderful white people supporting us, The Fulani.
