It’s apparently Thank a Dev Day<\/a>. Initially I didn’t really want to “spam” anyone’s inboxes with messages. But it just so happened that I wanted to fix some typos in the Finnish translation of Fedora’s installer Anaconda<\/a> and I do actually want to take this opportunity to thank some developers. I still don’t like the idea of sending somewhat “meaningless” emails to people whose inboxes are probably already full, so I decided to use my blog:<\/p>\n

I recently discovered the Virtaal<\/a> translation tool by the translate.org.za team and I was using Virtaal to do my typo fixes. One interesting feature in Virtaal is that it does spell checking via PyEnchant<\/a>. Spell checking is something I haven’t really seen in other translation editors, but it’s really useful in making high quality translations.<\/p>\n

Here’s how (I think) the spell checking stack works when using virtaal. Virtaal uses PyEnchant to call the Enchant<\/a> spell checking library, which then calls Voikko<\/a> to do the actual Finnish spell checking.<\/p>\n

So in TaDD 2009 I’d like to thank the developers of each part of this stack for making my life as a translator much easier. Thank you, developers of Virtaal<\/a>, PyEnchant<\/a>, Enchant<\/a> and Voikko<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
