Today in #MultilingualDH: I just learned that zsh, unlike bash, can iterate over non-Latin Alphabets!
```
for letter in {أ..ي}; do
echo $letter
done
```
```
for letter in {أ..ي}; do
echo $letter
done

My first attempt to learn Python (in library school) was under Python 2, and it was beyond frustrating that the data I wanted to work with (Cyrillic) involved all kinds of elaborate workarounds to not get mangled from the start. I gave up for nearly a decade. #MultilingualDH
an example of why multicultural aspects are important even in very technical stuff like programming , is how Python 2.0 would become a fucking disaster if you typed anything in a non-Latin language and break itself into not even running

I love a good #MultilingualDH corpus!
Your university library may have a form (or you can send an email) to request cataloging open access online resources. Consider filling it out to help make non-English corpora more findable!

Interested by a corpus of 19th/early 20th c. French for your research?

Interesting #MultilingualDH piece on what gets lost in translation in AI-generated podcasts.
NotebookLM translates any language (I tested Norwegian, African American Vernacular English, and early 1800s English) to 21st century Standard American English in a midwest accent, and the cultural context is either exoticised or ignored, with puns and local context lost and US assumptions added.

Wonderful #MultilingualDH write-up on automatic speech transcription!
We tested OpenAI’s Whisper on 1,847 Holocaust testimonies from the Fortunoff at Yale. It achieved 85% accuracy, but the errors reveal how AI struggles in this domain. Full findings: https://wjbmattingly.com/blog/transcribing-holocaust-testimonies-in-yale-s-fortunoff-archive

I remember loving that this site existed, pointing students to it, and suggesting things (like the #MultilingualDH addition!) On the infrastructure side, there were clear, simple instructions on how to get started while I was still struggling to wrap my head around how Jekyll worked & liquid syntax.

Last week's assignment was to create a data set from your life, but Celine Heck took it a step further and embroidered it too! This is her caffeinated beverage intake for the week. Chinese was easier than Latin for embroidering the labels, a #MultilingualDH win on top of it all! #DHmakes
