I like the small improvements in #software. For a while now, #Weblate now displays the priority of components with these little icons, for priorities from very high (two arrows up), high (one arrow up), normal (nothing), low and very low (downward arrow, 2 downward arrows).Components already had priorities, but they were invisible and only affected sorting.#translation

The perils of semantic drift over multiple millennia:"古者，贵以德而贱用兵。"The intended reading of this ~2100yo statement concerning how to deal with foreigners: "In ancient times, virtue was valued and use of force was despised."What I first read, influenced by the everyday modern usage of the words:"In ancient times, virtue was expensive and use of force was cheap." Literally dead opposite implication! (sentence is from first few paragraphs of Salt and Iron) #classicalchinese #translation

读史者考实录通古今若亲目口而诵心而惟朝于斯夕于斯Read all of history, go through every shelfAncient to modern, and see for yourself;Profess with your mouth, possess in your heartFrom dawn until dusk, to learn every part. - a verse of Three Character Classic, an educational poem for ancient Chinese children, rhyming translation by me #classicalchinese #poetry #history #translation

Oh and if anyone has any recommendations for printing/selling stickers, please do share them!https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/114732954062673558#stickers #fediverse

@ShaulaEvans I agree. I've studied Chinese off and on and have learned only that I have very poor visual memory.

@eltonfc I picked option one, but I'm not sure I understand what an infinitive is even after looking it up

@rperezrosario if I just boost, I'd guess the language setting comes from the boosted post? (Do you know?)

I want to #work with [you] people in the #Fediverse !Translating your articles, #proofreading your #writing, doing #research for your video essay on a 20th century philosophical school, teach you one or two #languages, doing admin for your educational non-profit, exchanging broader knowledge around politics, humanities, literature, helping sell you woodcarving art pieces...but above all I want to make #art and creative things with you.I run out of options and resources to find "normal" work IRL where I live, or escaping to study in Europe,and it is in part because I had already started being too influenced by people on here to be able to continue accepting the dire conditions offered in my immediate environment,but also, I joined here because I did not really belong in said environment already. so the thing is, I can only do the things listed remotely, online, for now.Anyone interested?#translation #job #jobsearch #fedihire
