Since I can't control what the ad networks do, I'd rather opt just to eliminate ads entirely and provide this website as a legitimate "free lunch" so to speak, no strings attached. But on a moral level, I also want to stop putting us further down what Mikko calls a "Free Lunch" style of service, where the service is provided "free of charge" in exchange for selling ads, which seem harmless but these networks promote tracking of personal data, even if the user does not consent to it. The amount of revenue is just enough to cover for the site's hosting costs, but for me it's also a tax nightmare, and most people have ad blocks anyway (I sure do!). When the new site launches, we are probably going to kill the ads. Also, there's now a fun little Critical Role easter egg in the search form, because I can do that. But if you insist, there's a Latin subreddit just for tattoos.īack to the grind now. I still aim to respond to each of you in kind-but for those of you asking for me to evaluate tattoos they want to get, let me hit you with a blanket statement: Don't get a tattoo of anything in a language you don't speak confidently. Rest assured, at the very least I can say with certainty that I have read every single message that has hit my inbox. But it's certainly next on the road map!įinally, I want to apologize for the slow responses to emails I have been receiving from every one of you. This has taken a back seat until the other two features are better hooked in with the parser/assembler. The third feature is: Adding tools, quizzes and games to the learning resources section. So, I addressed "two out of three" of the features in the works. It's intentionally been created as a self-contained component to keep it decoupled from the website. Like the website itself, the parser/assembler will be open-sourced to the public. While Latin is considered a very academically rigid language, the fact remains that it still has several irregularities, plus a language that persists across millennia has a habit of changing, and we wanted to write our parser/assembler to account for some of the major deviations (like providing optional old poetic variations of declension endings).
ENGLISH TO LATIN TRANSLATOR FULL
To provide full declension/conjugation tables for word entries and search results.Įssentially, we are writing a parser/assembler from scratch, which is painstaking.To search more intelligently for variations of Latin words, not just search for matches against their dictionary forms.Salvete, everyone! Progress has been ongoing on two out of the three following features I had listed out in a prior update:
