I am annoyed at a library for writing Rust in German[1] which suddenly got popular (a friend who doesn’t even write Rust found it) (even though it’s been out for a while, and is a fork of the same idea, but in French[2]), because I think the person making it either didn’t put much thought into it or just doesn’t actually speak German (the GitHub user has a German name and claims to be located in Germany, so probably not).

A lot of the words are either a bad choice, an incorrect translation due to the word having two meanings in English, or aren’t taking advantage of the fact that you don’t, in fact, have to translate the words directly. And the choice of whether to abbreviate a specific thing, like impl in English, is done haphazardly. And the worst is that, for some reason, fn was changed to fk! Why‽
@anselmschueler What's the point to translate it?
@xorgrox It’s a joke that’s not executed well
@anselmschueler I mean if English is a problem than the rest of the journey will be a lot more painful.
@anselmschueler Ahhhh. Sorry. I somehow got it wrong. Funny joke
