yes but it's pretty small. the italian community is a bit larger however (simone lombardo is also one of the most prominent testers of retro software working on reactOS).
matt
another question: how do I add a preview image to a recently-uploaded file on the wayback machine?
matt
can I edit the .xml or sqlite metadata to add a new thumbnail?

You can try looking for info online. Do some research

I was just wondering

What OS would the Romans have used?

Latin support for Ubuntu? : r/linuxquestions https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/1jpt37/latin_support_for_ubuntu/
matt
little to nothing.

It would be nice to see a linux distribution with latin text support being employed in some banking terminal in the vatican city
matt
matt
some banks still continue to use OS/2 as their own OS of choice

now I'm curiously wondering: does latin even exists as a language option on linux?
Hard to imagine widespread support for a language only some Catholics speak.
Chungy
Could be neat though
Chungy
Comic Sans. Oof.

as a catholic, most catholics don't speak latin (still i find the idea funny, though)
Chungy
Thus "some"
Mike
a few
Chungy
I remember reading about Fr. Reginald Foster before he died, he was really passionate about keeping Latin a current and living language
matt
it is mostly used in ceremonies
matt
and processions
matt
certanly, latin is also used a lot in scientific circles and by lawyers other than religious institutions
Anas
And the official language of the Roman Empire
matt
until it lasted yes, nordic barbarians still used runes and they had a lot of stuff like cultural arts, poetics, chants and so on that are still misunderstood to this day.
Anas
Yea
Anas
I was joking
matt
it's ok
matt
(joke) I also saw some werdos all dressed up in robes that sang covers of famous western pop songs as gregorian chants

(joke) ...even if they even had the opportunity to show up in a local church, they would have been considered too satanic already for singing about modernities like that..:D

Debian would probably have it if anything. Even if it was only 5% done.

Now I kind of wish I knew Latin. Translating even a desktop shell might be fun.

I dare not to immagine what kind of cool stuff it may come out :D

Presumably it'd be the desktop. In Latin.

Translating ReactOS is probably feasible even by just one person.
matt
translating ReactOS into latin? How?
Chungy
go copy a en-US.rc file, call it la-VA.rc and start translating strings from English to Latin
Chungy
a good start might be in base/shell/explorer since that'd be the first user-visible thing on the screen.
matt
well, at least we have a good starting point
matt
kinda interesting as an one man project
Chungy
ReactOS is relatively small and probably someone could do it by themselves.
matt
yeah, definitelly
Chungy
You could do the same effort on the Linux desktop but your work would be never-ending. :p
matt
because linux is like 100+ components put together.
Chungy
more like 30,000+
matt
even more so
matt
you need to find equivalent words in latin, we cannot always rely on word-by-word translations
