while some translations are updated regularly, others are not maintained very well... probably because it is a lot of work. with todays ai it becomes a lot easier to keep a translation up to date. today i updated the french translation and had claude ai add 400 missing translations. from the german translations he has already done for me, i can say that he is really good at it.
before i ask him to do more translations i wanted to ask you, which languages you use and would like to see updated.
the well maintained ones are:
- french (haha)
- finnish
- german
- spanish
thanks.
i asked him, if there is any language that he cant translate:
Not a hard cutoff, but capability definitely isn't uniform. Roughly:

i asked him, if there is any language that he cant translate:
Not a hard cutoff, but capability definitely isn't uniform. Roughly:
- Strong: major world languages with lots of training data — English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Korean, Hindi, Dutch, etc. I can translate fluently and natively in these, including nuance, idiom, and register (which is what I was doing with the fr.po file above).
- Weaker: low-resource languages — many regional/minority/indigenous languages (e.g., many African, Southeast Asian regional, or Indigenous American languages), older or archaic language forms, and heavily dialectal variants not well-represented in text online. I can often still produce something plausible, but accuracy drops and I'm more likely to hallucinate fluent-sounding nonsense rather than admit I don't know it — worth double-checking with a native speaker for anything important.
- Truly can't: constructed/fictional languages without real corpora (unless well-documented, like Klingon or Esperanto, which I actually handle okay), extinct languages with only fragmentary records, or ciphers/private family languages.
