Eugen RochkoI think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

Brendan NyhanMy article for the @[email protected] today warns that Trump's "Big Lie" about election fraud is going global and how this may be the "new normal", after his allies started exporting it to Brazil and other countries. 👇 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/14/opinion/brazil-elections-bolsonaro.html

Nithou - Moved to @I finally "finished" a giant #translation project at work. Translation management has always been something deeply interesting for me, growing up in a multilingual country but unfortunately, a lot of businesses don't take good care of their apps besides their mother language, forgetting how words are at the core of their #UX.
At first, we went on the easy road and hired a translation agency. Unfortunately, we quickly realised that most of the translations were of bad quality, lots of them were translated loosely and you could feel they were not native.
So for this project we wanted to do better and implemented several things:
- I hired independent translators for each language, ensuring they were natives. One for each language.
- Discussions happened in a shared Slack channel which allowed to centralise discussions and questions
- We used #Crowdin to handle the translation management and onboarding
- We created a "guide" of things we expected: the tone we wanted to keep, rules regarding gender-neutral terms and overall user experience, ...
The project went fantastic, I had the chance to work with wonderful women who totally understood our application, its tone and the overall experience we wanted to give to our users across the language barrier. While it took some time to get it started, it's exciting to see it finally done and live, and to be able to modify and adapt the translations on the go when we see there's room for improvement.
The data we have are already showing improvement in our conversion rates for several languages while also showing a better understanding of the things we ask our users to do to validate their process.
So in short: Put efforts into your translations and work with independent translators, you have a lot to win.

VerbrannteOrteHallo #Fediverse! Diese Nachricht kommt von einem neuen Server. Bitte boostet und helft dem Toot seinen Weg durchs Fediverse zu finden, damit wir mit anderen Servern förderieren können.
WeRemember.social ist eine Mastodoninstanz für eine lebendige #Erinnerungskultur. Wir möchten die Sichtbarkeit und Vernetzung von Initiativen und Einzelpersonen fördern, die die Erinnerung an die Opfer des Faschismus wach halten.
JannisHallo #Politik-Bubble! Für alle, die den #Bundestag hier drüben gerne besser im Blick behalten möchten, habe ich fünf neue, kleine Bots gebaut:
Die Bots suchen alle 15 Minuten nach neuen Daten und sind damit immer aktuell.
Freue mich über einen Boost, damit das möglichst viele Interessierte mitbekommen. Und an die Interessierten: Ich hoffe, das ist euch von Nutzen! ✨

Nach 2 Stunden: Der Puls normalisiert sich
Nach 24 Stunden: Man vergisst, wer Dieter Nuhr und Lisa Eckhart sind
Nach 2 Tagen: Der Ironiespiegel im Körper sinkt drastisch
Nach 4 Tagen: Auch die Erinnerungen an Don Alphonso und Ulf Poschardt verblassen allmählich
Nach 1 Woche: Der Distinktionsdruck lässt spürbar nach
Nach 2 Wochen: Die Vogelapp wird gelöscht
Dominik BaurAls die Tochter unserer Autorin Birte Müller an #LongCovid erkrankt, beginnt für die Familie eine Zeit voller Schmerz und Verzweiflung. In dieser @tazgetroete-Reportage beschreibt Müller, wie aus dem „Wurm“ wieder Olivia wurde.
Kirsten loves artLotte Laserstein (1898 - 1993) malte in den 1920er Jahren die „Neue Frau“ - selbstbewusste Frauen des Berliner Stadtlebens. 1933 wurde sie von den Nazis zur „Dreivierteljüdin“ erklärt, erhielt Berufsverbot. Sie emigriert 1937 nach Schweden. Erst hochbetagt erlebt sie, wie ihre Kunst langsam wiederentdeckt wird. Hier „Traute im grünen Pullover“ von 1931, Privatbesitz.
