Building Websites and Translating Homestuck
Homestuck Epilogues Physical Book Cover | Homestuck by Andrew Hussie
It's very nice building a website from scratch, you get to learn so many new things! And having to use HTML (plus BBCode and CSS) on AO3 and MSPFA is kinda cool too!
I never thought Notepad ++ is a good translation tool, but welp, here we are xD
ooh... aaand, I really need to compile somewhere my notes on Homestuck characters typing quirks in french... like, there is a LOT of potential... think of "b1" (read: 'bien'- good). That's literally the equivalent of Vriska's "gr8" (read: 'great'- superbe).
aaand, like, translating is super cool... when translating Dirk's long(ass) rant about memes... I found myself needing to change the word 'capture', etymology wise, and, woah, doing some fancy word research is very fun!
I know this website is like 80% english, but I would really love to actually make it trilingual! I mean, yeah you could rely on machine translation, but, I think it's much cooler to have a human version... like, actually a breathing someone behind the screen telling you stuff they really like.
Alright, that's more or less it... ooh... and school's starting soon. I'm excited for it, but also kinda (understandably) nervous? The iffy part is that I won't have as much time to do this random Homestuck stuff I like doing... the plus side is I would (maybe, probably, HOPEFULLY) learn some ACTUAL software development tricks... and hey, maybe an excuse to share my thoughts online on it?
It's been real guys, take care ✨
