It is a touching fact that men, dying in battle, often call upon their mothers. I have heard them do so in five languages.

Could I go into shape languages for each Papa? Probably.
Nihil: Square/Rectangle
Primo: Square/Rectangle (but he has that Triangle energy)
Secondo: Square/Rectangle (Wide Width)
Terzo: Circle (Circle Me, Papa)
At least, that's how I see it just by looking at images of each one.

It’s hard learning a different language, particularly if the reason is location rather than pleasure. You have to account for natural ability in languages too, a bit like people who struggle with maths, spelling, sports. When I lived there it was a daily struggle to keep learning.

Imagine a social media platform merged with a Geoguesser-style thing... If you try to post about Country X or City Y, you first have to point to it on a map - and maybe answer 5 simple questions about its history, society, languages, cultures, etc. If you fail the test, your post is rejected.

The brief examines the issue of language data flaring and its impact on Africa’s digital future. It calls for stronger policies that embed African languages in national digital plans, fund documentation efforts, and drive inclusive AI development.

I live in a left to right natural language (English) and I dislike awkward clauses in programming languages where I read left to right
val = stuff_I_read_as_going_to_happen() if ha_ha_no_it_might_not
At least Python and Ruby allow this weird "if" and I don't like it
C ( ? : ) is fine tho

Translated metaphors often require a great deal of background knowledge about the L1/L1's culture (see all the footnotes on Chinese poems), but this time I suspect the meaning of the poem would automatically translate into many languages–other cultures where rain==good things

Great approach and method of observation.
The translation analogy is apt, but it also hides something eerie: we aren’t just mapping between two languages, we’re inventing a meta-grammar that never existed in nature.
That’s where the danger lives... when coherence outpaces comprehension.

The beauty and the horror of living with so many languages is that they are never 1-to-1 and any attempt to move from one to another will always leave something behind. That's always a shame but if you think about it that makes the part which remains more special than you might have ever realized.

It is interesting to find out about metaphors or idioms in other languages, such as how apparently in Ukraine, if someone's "roof is leaking" it's an idiom to describe being mentally unstable.

How to reintegrate over a million veterans? Groups in Ukraine are working on it
Many Ukrainian war veterans have physical and mental trauma, and struggle to return to civilian life. Here is a look at some groups trying to help ease them back into the community.

Very true!! I loved it, but I like to write. I hated being told to do it in the holidays though.
Other languages are a bit different too, and usually structured quite well to help understanding.
