"Quantas Liras" is TURKISH, ISTG they know exactly what it means. I did this from #Babelfish. I can read minds, yk. I know it's easy to get, but do you realise that if it's outside of SOCIETYRULES they'll pretend they don't

▪︎ that's a way to ask a Price in Turkey
▪︎ that's a thing I picked up, I've a Feeling it's really old

ACTUALLY used this also in Italia and I'm still in MILAN2002. Italians most all know Spanish, but they pretend to not. There I did it from Logic, but in Turkey it felt right

After Babel Fish

More communication is not necessarily better communication.

@oneeyedman cómo se usa en los oídos, yo creo que es más bien como el #BabelFish de #THHGTTG

Lástima que está limitado en el número de idiomas, igual que la app #Translation del aifon.

Dudo que queme muchos bosques, porque se procesa localmente, en el teléfono, sin granjas de servidores

Apple has invented #babelfish

... and having to reverse-engineer the gobbledegook or ultimately fruitlessly because of tech-determinism-fait-accompli ("but it's a feature! is has to work!") switching the "helpful feature" off

there's no #babelfish

I think that #internationalization of scientific #education & #research is good, and a roll back (as has been considered in several European countries) would be bad.

My reflection (starring the #babelfish !):

Academic language has become a proxy for European culture wars

Some European governments are rethinking the use of English in universities, exposing tensions between internationalization and national priorities.
