Just another Perl shrine
perldoc in translation

on Apr 11, 2002 at 08:09 UTC ( #158245=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Not long ago little and I had a chatterbox conversation on this topic, because he just set out to translate the perlfaq into german. And he is not the only one: bjelli has already started a project for a German Translation of the Docs.
Even the faq is huge, so it is no small amount of work - but bjelli and little have valid reasons, I think:
little contributes to http://www.perl.de, a german forum for Perl - Users, and often encounters young people willing to learn perl that don't have sufficient knowledge of the English language to be able to understand the faq or any other part of perldoc.
Usually the persons in question are young and just have learned English for a short time at school. Should that be just tough luck?
Another point was the rising popularity of PHP (esp. in Germany, I guess this will be the same in other non-english-speaking countries) - with PHP the docs are available in several languages (not with the distribution itself but ready for download) - This makes it considerably easier for the student starting to dive into any scripting- and programming language.
Yes, there are books in a whole variety of languages - but I wouldn't expect a 14 year old to buy any technical book - they are expensive.
I can say the following about bjelli's motivation:
bjelli teaches perl both in adult education and at the university in austria. even the university students often don't know enought english to appreciate the man pages.
she started the project "Deutsche Perl Doku" http://perlwelt.horus.at/Doku/ in the summer of 2001, but after a short period of activity the work has pracically died down. the goal was/still is to create german translations in the pod format and feed that back into the normal perl distribution. there's a CVS server with 5 finished files, 5 more are "works in progress".
Of course I can tell anybody, if the books are too expensive for you, ask somebody to give them to you as xmas or birthday present.
Or I can translate the faq ever so often, because a faq question in http://www.perl.de comes up, and I have to translate parts of the faq for the one that asked.
Or we can try to set up a combined effort of German monks and mongers and French monks and mongers and Spanish speaking monks and mongers, to provide a version of the docs in those languages.
This will be difficult and a lot of work - bjelli and little already started doing their part and both a willing to translate more - What do you think? I especially would like to hear the opinion of Monks whose native language is not English.
This meditation is brought to you with the kind permissions of little and bjelli. Thanks to both of them.

Comment on perldoc in translation
Re: perldoc in translation

I guess I'm luckey. Although my written and spoken English are very bad, I usually have no trouble reading Perl documentation. Reading the distribution perldocs was my main way of learning Perl, and yes, translated pages are lacking and much needed.
There are, however, several reasons for me for not translating to Dutch. For starters, it's WAY too much, and would have to be done by multiple people. Another problem is that I can't decide on translating terms. Which words should not be translated, and how hard will it being consistent be? If you're not translating alone, you need to establish policies, etcetera etcetera. Even writing ABOUT Perl is hard if not in English, because you constantly have to decide whether you're going to translate a common Perl term.
Yes, I reinvent wheels.

well, the translators will probably have a hard time. I once started writing a german introduction to xemacs (which by now has become the 'official' german intro page) and I can tell that writing docs is no fun. Usually you won't be as accepted in the open source scene when you're writing docs (or do graphics or webstuff) compared to writing a programm. This is a real problem with the commnunity! You're probably off with a better reputation when you're writing the 10,000th email programm/IRC client or editor than when you're providing good docs.
More than that I have made the experience that you receive patches/bug reports and feature requests for a programm _much_ more than for the docs you wrote.
An argument from a totally different direction is that I really prefer reading the docs in english. For one it keeps my english uptodate, or even improves it, on the other hand I always have the feeling of "missing" something in german docs; it's the (unconscious) feeling that translated docs are probably outdated.
And as a closing I will hereby offer to help translating a bit :) (insert usual time blurb here...)

you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion
by nefertari (Chaplain) on Apr 11, 2002 at 10:00 UTC
My native language is german and I have (nearly) no problems with english documentation, but that is because I read english books on my own. But for my father, who has to read medical books in english for his job (and has nearly no problems with them) english computing books are too difficult. For him german documentation would be very good. For very young people (the 14 years old ones) it would be good, too.
But of the university students I think that they should learn to read english documentation, because there will be some day, where they won't get a german translation.
by Molt (Chaplain) on Apr 11, 2002 at 16:16 UTC
I'd just like to wish you luck on this. I only speak English, and never really realised Perldocs hadn't been translated into other languages. I suppose I always took it as granted they'd be available in all the major languages to be honest. This is a major hole in Perl's coverage, and I'm glad someone's patching this one up.
Hopefully when there's a critical mass of documentation translated there should be people who use that documentation who'd be willing to help carry on the good work. Light at the end of the tunnel?
Brazilian Experience
by nferraz (Monk) on May 20, 2007 at 23:32 UTC
We've set up a wiki at perl.org.br to write new articles and translate documentation.
The interesting part is that we wrote a TWiki plugin to accept POD instead of wiki-markup or html, so we just published perldoc and allowed people to translate it; all the changes can be reviewed using version control and other TWiki features. (TWiki itself is written in Perl :-)).
And I think that helped the project to be successful, given the number of registered users and translated files.
BTW - I'd love to collaborate with other user groups to set up similar wikis.

Low Melatonin Is More Disease-Causing Than PCBs!
The American Cancer Society survey of over one million people in 1959 to 1960 found that 2% of the sample reported getting less than 6 hours of sleep per night. A number of later surveys in the 1960s and 1980s indicated significant increases in the number of adults reporting short sleep durations. By 2004 the National Health Interview Survey indicated that for adults between 30 and 64 years of age about 30% were getting 6 hours or less of sleep per night. Given what we know about the impact of sleep loss on health and the potential for accidents, such increases are indeed alarming.
Melatonin is the hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain that induces a deep state of sleep. More recently, science is showing that a substantial more amount of melatonin is actually being created in the gut than in the pineal gland. If you didn't know, serotonin is also created in the gut.
When our gut production of melatonin becomes low, the gut becomes inflamed and that can signal the start of more Gastrointestinal issues. Colonocytes, which are the cells that line the colon – are even effected when melatonin levels become low. The colonocytes become inflamed. (Inflammation in the colon leads to colon cancer).
Studies show that melatonin actually improves the inflammation in the gray matter of the brain – this is especially important for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia. The brain is inflamed in this neurological disease.
Studies also show that if you have a traumatic brain injury, concussion, hit your heads in a car accident – nearly always afterwards you will develop gut issues. The gut and brain are linked without a doubt.
If you do not take probiotics, have leaky gut, have bacterial/parasitic infections in the gut – your brain is invariably affected as well.
The "happy neurotransmitter" serotonin is produced in the gut – bad gut, bad brain function!
Who Is At Risk For Low Melatonin?
Shift workers, graveyard shift workers, those with Insomnia, or any occupation that cause you to be awake over night and sleep during the day, reversing your circadian rhythm.
Because of this melatonin disruption, melatonin is actually being converted into Serotonin on a needed basis. You will find that because of this melatonin steal, you will not sleep as well. You may also find more incidence of mood disorders and depression because of this constant pattern of melatonin converting to serotonin.
When the body is imbalanced in 1 area, it will pull on other pathways to compensate. Your body wants to be balanced all the time.
The Different Stages of Sleep.
There are stage 1 – 4 and then REM sleep.
Stage 4 sleep is when the brain cleans out all the toxins and garbage – this is why sleep is so important.
What about those who have bad dreams when they take melatonin?
Rapid Eye Movement (REM). If you go into REM sleep with high cortisol/adrenal issues, all your dreams will be in fight flight. That is precisely why you will have weird dreams. Which you weren't having before you started taking melatonin because you didn't go into deep REM sleep!
What about those that take melatonin and wake up groggy?
Normally when everything is functioning on its own & perfectly balanced, you spend time equally in each of the stages of sleep (stages 1,2,3,4, REM.) But that doesn't always happen, sometimes a person can go from stage 1, 2, 3, REM and back to 1 (totally skipping over the stage 4 of sleep).
When someone has been stage 4 sleep deprived and then starts taking melatonin, the brain will go into a "catch up mode." The brain will spend a disproportionate amount of time in stage 4 of sleep. That's what's causing the grogginess. The solution: Take the melatonin 1-2 hours before bed and it can help with the grogginess.
1. Low dopamine people are the ones that crave: chips, savory, cheese, nuts, salty, fatty foods, wine.
L-Tyrosine is an amino acid that is the precursor to dopamine, you may have a deficiency in this amino acid. L-Tyrsosine is also very important for proper thyroid function, and can improve appetite control.
2. Low serotonin people are the ones who crave: sweets, chocolate, dessert, sugar.
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that has shown significant improvement in eliminating cravings for sweets. It also helps to repair gut lining/leaky gut. *Caution: if you are fighting active cancer you should avoid L-Glutamine.
Both L-Tyrosine and L-Glutamine are naturally occuring in foods. But higher therapeutic doses may be needed if you are having these symptoms. As always, talk to your functional medicine practitioner about this, and they'll know what to do!


We get pretty excited about finding new places and shops, but we don't know that we have ever been as excited as we were to hear about the opening of Antique Avenue on Ottawa Street. We had asked some friends if they had any suggestions for great flea markets (Jacklyn is in the market for a tapestry and some other furniture pieces). Our friend Sarah showed us an article in The Spectator and we quickly made plans to visit early Saturday morning.
Owners Tom Watson and his business partner Adam Hughes purchased the entire lot of collectibles from one person. It is difficult to articulate just how incredible it all is. The gentleman known only as Darryl had been hoarding over the course of 30 years; he would buy out complete collections from people all over Ontario from estate sales, yard sales, auctions and the like. "I was blown away. There was so much stuff and it wasn't on display," Tom said, "There was no way I could go through everything." Imagine a two story farmhouse, two storage facilities, buses and trailers filled to the brim and you'll get an idea of how large this collection is. After making their best guess they bought everything for $100,000. With the help of Tom's mother and their friends they have just started uncovering and categorizing all of Darryl's treasures. "The shop owners on Ottawa Street have been really friendly," Tom explained, "Patrick from Decades has been over here helping out."
It's not often that we're speechless, but we genuinely could not fathom how one person could collect all of this. It's a vintage lover's dream. We started imagining country kitchens and discussing how we could re-do portions of our homes. These antique irons peaked our interest, its hard to believe this is what women used back in the day. We felt like we went back in time.
We love to use old mason jars as flower vases and to hold things like sewing materials and cotton balls. There are hundreds and more to be un-boxed. It's quite overwhelming. They also had gorgeous vintage milk jars. You remember the post on the beautiful ones Jacklyn recently purchased.
Probably the most exciting thing we were shown by Tom and Adam were these Eaton's cards. When you held this wooden viewing contraption to your eyes, and brought the postcard closer to your face the photos were supposed to be 3D. It reminds us of one of our favorite childhood school videos.
Anything you are looking for you are likely to find here. We adore this vintage Singer sewing machine. We also stumbled across amazing first edition books as well as etiquette books tucked away in boxes in the back (future posts on these to come). If your willing to hunt, they have tons of treasures that have yet to be unpacked. Stephanie found 1940s and 50s editions of Canadian Homes & Gardens and Good Housekeeping. They were in perfect condition with charming illustrated covers. Plus there was a whole box of 1950s editions of Life Magazine. Très cool.
If you don't already have plans this weekend, you must check out Antique Avenue. Take our word for it, and bring a lunch. You'll be there a long while. The best part is they are open everyday.

US Ski and Snowboard hires two new coaches to help improve Olympic Alpine success
By James Diamond
US Ski and Snowboard has hired two new Alpine regional coaches as part of its ongoing initiative "Project 26" - a bid to train more Alpine medal contenders in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
Mike Prado joins the western region having previously worked with the women's development team and as an under-16 and under-14 coach at the Squaw Valley Ski Team.
He is also an ex-US Navy rescue swimmer.
Brad Farrell, meanwhile, joins the eastern region staff from Mount Mansfield Ski Club in Stowe in Vermont.
Before that he was at Burke Mountain Academy where he served as the head football coach for the boys' under-16 and under-19 teams.

"The addition of Mike Prado and Brad Farrell bring two high-quality coaches to our regional staffs," said Alpine development director Chip Knight.
"They are both very excited to make an impact in their respective regions.
"It's important that we have great coaches at the regional level as we seek to reinforce connections between our clubs and the national team in our new development system."
Both Prado and Farrell will work as part of a team alongside development head coaches Marjan Cernigo and Sasha Rearick.
They have already started in their new roles, helping coach nearly 50 athletes at the recent National Development Group camp in Mount Hood in Oregon.

Russia aims to become the first country in the BRICS group of leading emerging economies to ratify an agreement on the foreign currency reserve pool, according to Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Vadim Lukov.
"An agreement will be ratified soon on establishing a pool of foreign currency reserves. Russia will most likely be the first country to do this,"Lukov said on Friday.
South Africa will contribute $5 billion, Russia, India and Brazil will allocate $18 billion each while China will provide the remaining funds, according to the envoy.
The goal of the pool is so that BRICS member states could urgently replenish their liquidity from it in different proportions to resolve problems with their balance of payments.
Meanwhile, Moscow is sure that new members will eventually join the New Development Bank (NBD), as the group wants to avoid it being called the 'Bank of BRICS'.
In July, BRICS members signed an agreement in Brazil to forge ahead with the $100 billion NDB, which would also possess a reserve currency pool worth over another $100 billion.
Experts from BRICS countries are also discussing the creation of a new independent rating agency the Russian envoy said, adding that China's rating agency Dagong was currently in talks with Russia on the issue. The new Universal Credit Rating Group (UCRG) is to rival the so-called 'Big Three' that currently dominate the industry. The creation of an alternative agency was raised after Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch Group downgraded their rating regarding Russia's creditworthiness following the Western anti-Russia sanctions.
The BRICS grouping of emerging market economies will meet for summit twice this year; on July 8-9 in Ufa, and either on November 15 or 16 on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Antalya. Some 120 events will be held in 16 cities within the program of Russia's BRICS presidency program. Nineteen meetings will be held at the ministerial level.
Russia took over the presidency of the BRICS group from Brazil on Wednesday. President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce Sergey Katyrin became the BRICS Business Council head.
The BRICS group of prominent emerging economies was established in 2010, when South Africa joined Brazil, Russia, India and China in what was previously known as BRIC. The BRICS countries make up about 40 percent of the world's population and command a combined economy of about $16 trillion.
