What the actual font? Bolding outrageously changes glyphs? 😮

(Kannada text "mo" rendered in three fonts: without and with bolding. Bolding the text in Nirmala Text font in MS Word changes the glyph to something non-existent in Kannada.)

What the actual font? Making a text bold changes the actual glyphs to something that doesn't exist in the language's writing system. 😮

(Kannada text bolded and rendered in Nirmala Text font in MS Word this case)

Google, what are these absolutely cursed date format options!??

Just give me YYYY-MM-DD 😭

I literally have to count out the month names on my fingers since for a decade+ I have lived in a world of Japanese dates (numbered months) and SQL timestamps 😭

#Luanti's website www.luanti.org now supports multiple languages, including German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Swedish and Russian.

And I expect more languages to be added because community translations are open.

In this video, @xfq, @w3c's Internationalization lead, breaks down the fundamental concepts of making the web truly global. @webi18n

Dive into the key distinctions between internationalization (#i18n) and localization (#l10n), and explore what truly matters beyond language, from character encoding and right-to-left designs to culturally adapted formats for dates, numbers, and names.

Loops is now ready to accept translations 🥳

I've updated the frontend to support i18n for nearly every string (including error messages), with the exception of the Admin dashboard, that can wait.

Excluding fonts-noto-extra from the base system sacrifices support for 39 writing systems just to save less than 400 MiB. It feels unreasonable for a general-purpose distro.

Admittedly, forcing all users to install ~400 MiB of fonts they may never use could be seen as unfair. However, at the very least, GNU/Linux communities that rely on these writing systems should actively support and promote distros that include fonts-noto-extra by default.
