Piglatin in Debian!

This is too good not to blog it, but it’s horribly old too.

While composing a message for #522776, I wanted to see where the output of locale-gen is stored (/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, it seems), but my first try ended up with me looking at /usr/share/locale, where I couldn’t help but notice that Inkscape comes with a translation to, wait for it... Piglatin (apparently since 2006). There sure are people with lots of spare time, and I sure hope he did the translation programmatically!

Anyway, here’s the obligatory screenshot, including some out of date strings:

If you’d like to run it yourself, you’ll need to create an en_US@piglatin locale first. I did it by sticking this file in /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US@piglatin and adding a line “en_US@piglatin UTF-8” to /etc/locale.gen, etc.
