5 days agoVolunteers indeed have translated join-lemmy and the engine itself, but from what I’ve seen, Lemmy developers have never turned on Ukrainian in either codebase, unlike other languages with similar completion rate, which means any instance admin willing to use the translation has to fork, patch and rebuild to add the support. Technically, PieFed 1.6.x still hasn’t the translation-enabling commit cherry-picked from main, either, but 1.7 should have it if minor versions begin as branches off main.
Corollary from the article: if every major distro uses Red Hat tech, it’s a sign that there’s a lack of funding from other sources for the core OS development. The goal of an “EU OS” project should be to identify and push forward the yet-unexplored or resource-lacking areas of such development, with EU funds. To be a friendly competitor and collaborator to Red Hat. Not to rebrand whatever distro for local usage.
