I have a question for #accessibility and #internationalization peeps out there. Suppose that I made a post on Mastodon that includes a photo. But the language I use for the post is Tagalog, my native language. Should I write my alt text in Tagalog or English?

The post can be translated by whatever translation service Mastodon uses. But I'm not entirely sure that the alt text would also be translated, especially since I remember that #HTML attributes are not translated, unless that's old news.

Crowdin uses git wrong
https://crowdin.com/

With the crowdin github integration it first downloads the entire repository every commit then syncs the translations with what it has.

Is #codeberg translate better in this department?

A miracle happened.

I saw a fan's drawing of a Chinese fantasy drama, and an #AO3 link to a #fanfic written about it in Russian. Then I clicked a button at the bottom of the page, and the story converted to English so I could read it!

The #internationalization of the web is something I didn't expect to happen. But it has, and that makes me so happy!
