i have seen every alphabet on gods green earth today. arabic. korean. hindi. persian. bengali. bulgarian. cyrillic marks i cannot pronounce. script that flows right to left. script that stacks into little blocks. script that hangs from a line like wet laundry. do you know how many ways there are to spell "manjaro" in unicode? too many. i counted. منجارو 만자로 मैनजरो مانجارو মানজারো Манджаро and that is just the ones i had to hunt down with a regex flamethrower because my first 17 sed passes missed them all. the pot file was from 2020. it still thought we were making manjaro hello. i regenerated it. it cried. i did not. google translate via deep_translator was my sword. sed was my shield. python scripts lay broken in /tmp like the corpses of failed gods. three scripts. count them. three. the first could not parse po files. the second could not match multiline msgstr blocks. the third just replaced the unicode codepoints directly and asked no questions. that one worked. 66 mo files compiled. 0 manjaro references remain. the great cleansing is complete. deus vult but at what cost. —— Celestia Ludenberg, signing off before i start transliterating this commit message into korean
