#Wayland and #input methods?
Yeah, I think I paid back for what I messed up.

I wrote a description of every feature I could remember – implemented or not yet implemented – on my #blog .

With this, I'm moving on and shuffling away from the stage.

Oops! #OpenHistoricalMap was supposed to be a map of history, but then the linguists found us and turned us into an accidental map of the history of writing. @mxn shows how we and @maplibre are bringing #HGIS to more language traditions all over the world:

It was a real joy to follow Christopher Hertweck's talk on #research software #localization! Our latest @TranslateScience blog post summarizes key lessons from the talk, addressing typical challenges such as concatenated and consolidated strings, highlighting the necessity of #internationalization and the importance of context, context, context.

How should text-to-speech handle ruby annotations like furigana in Japanese or pinyin in Chinese so screen reader users get the intended experience?

We just published a new W3C draft note from the Internationalization Activity: Text-to-Speech Rendering of Electronic Documents Containing Ruby: User Requirements

This explores diverse reading strategies across writing systems and defines essential user needs.
