» Poza tłumaczeniem: co może ujawnić analiza wielojęzyczna i OSINT
Większość pracy wywiadowczej i w OSINT kończy się na angielskim. To, co naprawdę ciekawe, zaczyna się tam, gdzie tłumaczenie w ogóle nie powstaje — na przykładzie jednego cyberataku i pięciu języków pokazuję, ile ta luka faktycznie kosztuje i dlaczego na ten sam problem trafia się w due diligence, wywiadzie konkurencyjnym i ocenie ryzyka.
» Beyond Translation: What Multilingual OSINT Can Reveal
Most OSINT and intelligence work stops at English. The interesting part starts where translation never happens at all — using one cyberattack and five languages to show what that gap actually costs, and why due diligence, competitive intelligence and country risk all run into the same problem.
» Seven Hundred Languages and a Font Problem
By Ricardo Aries | Published 08/30/2026 | Miscellaneous | Not yet recommended
Indonesia has more than 700 living languages, and keeping them alive requires two different things that people tend to conflate: a record and a speaker. The record side runs into concrete obstacles — scripts that reached Unicode late or, like Pegon, not at all; Javanese material trapped in legacy fonts that no search engine can read; thousands of digitized *lontar* sitting as images because nobody has transliterated them; recordings labelled too vaguely to be useful. On the technology side, roughly ten of those 700 languages have usable corpora, and the parallel text that does exist is mostly scripture, which teaches machine translation a sermon register unfit for a tenancy agreement. That gap is where translators have a stake: orthography decisions, terminology for modern domains, legal and medical register, evaluation standards, and control over who gets to train on an elder's voice. But none of it makes speakers. Digitization buys time; only a household passing the language to a child keeps it alive.
» Real-Time Translation: Meeting the Demands of Instant Global Communication
In today's lightning-fast digital world, real-time translation stands as a remarkable blend of human brilliance and technological innovation. Expert interpreters, backed by sophisticated AI tools, transform instant global communication from dream to reality. Whether connecting global boardrooms, enabling virtual classrooms, or supporting critical medical consultations, this powerful combination ensures messages aren't just translated, but truly understood across languages and cultures. As technology advances, the human touch remains the secret ingredient, making sure every nuance and cultural subtlety finds its way across the language barrier.

By Lilián Borgeaud | Published 09/24/2024 | Miscellaneous | Recommendation:RateSecARateSecARateSecARateSecARateSecI
This is an ironical essay on why everybody should stick to the proper writing rules and conventions.
