So, how has "TOOT!" been translated in every supported langage ? This way :

English : TOOT!

German : TRÖTT!!

Spanish : PUBLICAR!

Portuguese : PUBLICAR!

French : POUET!

Hungarian : TÜLK!!

Ukranian : DMYXHYTN! (DMUHIUTE!)

Chinese : PUBLISH!

Finnish : TALLENNA MUUTOKSET!

We'll, I can see why French people are so found of Mastodon. We're tooting in arguably the most ridiculous French word.

@mux2000 Oh, really ? And what does it exactly mean ?

("pouet" is the sound of a klaxon, or a fake fart)

Show threadmux2000 :microphone: :guitar: Apr 7, 2017
@Willvs It's a verb that originally meant to play the trumpet, but was colloquially borrowed to describe the sound elephants make.

@Willvs Someone has started a turkish translation of Tusky and is unsure of this one. https://github.com/Vavassor/Tusky/pull/65

Apparently, "ötmek" is close but doesn't have the same connotations.

@Vavassor So someone is trying to figure out how to translate "toot" in Turkish and keep the light-hearted connotation.

Wow.

I so love this place.

Tu utilises Google Translate ? Quel(le) has been. Sur Mastodon, il y a un chat bot hyper efficace : @Willvs comment on dit "clé de douze" en mandarin ?

@TouitTouit Ben non patatounette. Ce sont les traductions déjà intégrées quand tu changes de langue dans les paramètres.

@Willvs It can also be written as ‟POUËT” in french. Personally I prefer with the accent.

@Willvs (oups j'viens seulement de voir que t'es français)

@etn The accent just gave me a phonecall, he prefered not to be mentionned in a POUET-related discussion.

@etn En même temps si on s'écrivait nos blagues en français on se comprendrait mieux.

@Willvs Oui, oui, c'est vrai x)

Alors, c'est l'histoire d'un pingouin qui respire par les fesses. Un jour, il s'assoit, et il meurt.

Non mais, sinon, qu'est-ce que j'ai pas compris avec le coup du pouët-pouet ? Ou alors c'était drôle uniquement sur le coup, c'est une blague qui s'explique pas ?

@Willvs I don't have the time to translate Mastodon but in Arabic toot should be طوط.
Show threadWilliam AudureauApr 6, 2017

@saqeram Thanks to you I learnt the "t" letter in arabic.

(I've tried a few times to learn arabic and find the writing mesmerizing but so hard to memorize...)

@Willvs there are two t sounds one emphatic ط and one soft ت. 😊
Show threadmux2000 :microphone: :guitar: Apr 7, 2017
@Willvs @saqeram doesn't that just spell "toot" in Arabic script? surely there's a word in Arabic that's roughly equivalent?

@Willvs Pouet! Pouet!

@Willvs in spanish should be something like "claxon" or "bocinar" instead of "publicar" (= to publish, or to post)
