Translations in languages other than English are machine translated and are not yet accurate. No errors have been fixed yet as of February 5th 2021. Please report translation errors here make sure to backup your correction with sources and guide me, as I don't know languages other than English well (I plan on getting a translator eventually) please cite wiktionary and other sources in your report. Failing to do so will result in a rejection of the correction being published.

Note: due to limitations with GitHub's interpretation of markdown (and pretty much every other web-based interpretation of markdown) clicking these links will redirect you to a separate file on a separate page that isn't my GitHub profile page. You will be redirected to the seanpm2001/seanpm2001 repository, where the README is hosted.

Translations are done with Google Translate due to limited or no support for the languages I need in other translation services like DeepL and Bing Translate. For some reason, the formatting (links, dividers, bolding, italics, etc.) is messed up in various translations. It is tedious to fix, and I do not know how to fix these issues in languages with non-latin characters, and right to left languages (like Arabic) extra help is needed in fixing these issues

Due to maintenance issues, over 25 translations are out of date and are using Version 8 or Version 9 of this README file. A translator is needed. Also, as of April 1st 2021, it is going to take me a while to get all the new links working.

Click/tap here to expand/collapse the flag guide section

**Flag guide** Flags were beginning to get added in version 2 of this document. I was originally just going to add the Ukraine flag, but decided to add more, until every language had at least 1 flag. They were done purely with the existing knowledge of the developer. In version 3, flags were added for every language. There are some notes that go with this: **[Unions `` and Nations ``]** Languages listed here that are official languages of the European Union have a European Union flag `` next to them. As of 2022 March 14th, there are currently 27 languages recognized by the European Union, from 27 different member states. Languages listed here that are official languages of the United Nations have a United Nations flag `` next to them. As of 2022 March 14th, there are currently 6 languages recognized by the European Union (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish) alongside 193 different member states and 2 observer states. **[One China (PRC) `` Two China (Taiwan) `` Hong Kong `` and Macau ``]** For neutrality reasons, languages listed here that have an official majority in Chinese speakers will receive all 4 of these flags, even if the language isn't Chinese or in the Sino family of languages. **[Global languages ``]** Currently, 1 global language is listed, and that is Esperanto. Esperanto is not native to any countries, its goal is to be a universal _lingua franca_ (Latin translation: _bridge language_) it is represented with a `globe with meridians` or `` **[Regarding sexuality ]** Sexuality is not measured here, I feel it would be unnecessary, as you are picking out a language, not a sexuality. **[Location of flag ]** Flags are located at the end of each language name (after the Romanization) with one space before, to the right. Like this: **[Pl Polski Polish ]** But not like this: **[Pl Polski Polish]** And also not like this: **[Pl Polski Polish]** **End of flag guide**

**2022.03.12** I was so angry and frustrated. I didn't save the file, and my computer randomly froze up twice, then crashed. I had to re-add all the flags, it took an hour to do so originally, and I was just seconds away from finishing. I couldn't save the file quick enough. Luckily, all the research was still in my head, and there was no data that wasn't easily replacable (identically) so it is a type of important work that was the best thing to lose, since it was the easiest to recreate, taking me less than 20 minutes **Other notes:** A language is missing: `Latvian` Possibly supporting the next 126 languages that are going to be added to Google Translate Plans to automate this process with the [`@AUTOMATE2001`](https://github.com/AUTOMATE-2001) bot Need to find a way to work with these languages on services other than Google Translate. There might be noticeable lag in this section due to how many flag emojis are in use. **Languages segment version:** `5 (2022, Monday, March 14th at 2:28 pm)`

Logo

The original logo for this project was a generic URL logo. Although it looked good, it was missing a second L, and was not original.

A new logo was proposed on 2022 April 30th at 2:43 am. I didn't get to it until later in the day, and it was accepted. This logo is a bit large in size, but is SVG, and has effort put into it. It is the first original graphic design submission I have received on any project (the one in the past was just a transparent version of an existing logo) credit to @Qamberhasnain for this logo. The original link is located here

Project icon

An image of a URL icon is currently being used as a placeholder for this project. I might use the same logo in the future, but with an added L at the end.

Software status

All of my works are free some restrictions. DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) is not present in any of my works.

This sticker is supported by the Free Software Foundation. I never intend to include DRM in my works.

I am using the abbreviation "Digital Restrictions Management" instead of the more known "Digital Rights Management" as the common way of addressing it is false, there are no rights with DRM. The spelling "Digital Restrictions Management" is more accurate, and is supported by Richard M. Stallman (RMS) and the Free Software Foundation (FSF)

This section is used to raise awareness for the problems with DRM, and also to protest it. DRM is defective by design and is a major threat to all computer users and software freedom.
