One of the cool things about internationalizing a piece of software (making it so that its interface can be easily translated into other languages) is that it lets you localize the software in some unusual languages.<\/p>\n
Case in point: if you go to Google's language tools page<\/a>, you can specify (down at the bottom of the page) what language you want the Google interface to appear in.<\/p>\n There are plenty of languages that are commonly used by real people listed there, such as Arabic and Hebrew and Swedish and Russian. And there are some less-common ones, such as Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Frisian, Tamil, and Scots Gaelic. And a couple of invented languages: Esperanto<\/a> and Interlingua<\/a>. And then there are, well, the others.<\/p>\n Yes, you can use Google in Swedish-Chef-speak<\/a>, Elmer-Fudd-speak<\/a>, Pig Latin<\/a>, or Hacker-spelling<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ain't modern technology wonderful?<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the cool things about internationalizing a piece of software (making it so that its interface can be easily…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
