In 2024 and 2025, we conducted 17 interviews with researchers, project leads, developers and philologists about #DigitalScholarlyEdition projects here in Oslo.
Our research assistant, Johanne Emilie Christensen, has written a blog post about her experience with transcribing and preparing the interviews, as well as our use of (and struggle with) voice-to-text tools.

I just tried to translate a small text (written by me a minute ago) into English. I tried and tried. I didn't understand why I couldn't find a solution.
A very large sip of coffee.
Suddenly I realised that my original text was written ... in English. 
Coffee! I need much more coffee!!!

My own talk, which is coming up / just happened, is on #Multilingual #Stylometry.
Based on our work for #CHR2024, we've moved on from the influence of language and translation on stylometric attribution accuracy to the influence of corpus composition. I'll be presenting both parts, but for the corpus composition issue, we are still at the stage of preliminary results.
With a special thanks to @artjomshl.bsky.social!

#DH2025: Xiaoyan Yang & @fpianz present a #multilingual #CLS pipeline comparing #English & #Chinese #fanfiction. Using #BookNLP, #ARMCC & #LLMs, they address #CoreferenceResolution, dialogue speaker & character feature extraction 
hot topics at this year's conference. 
The response to 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 translation project has been beyond my expectations.
Today I'm happy to announce that a new language has been added. Simona Mačiulaitytė translated the article "World Sleep Day" into Lithuanian! You can find it here: https://neurofrontiers.blog/lt/pasauline-miego-diena/
If you know any Lithuanian speakers, feel free to share it with them. As always, this support is a great way to celebrate the efforts of our volunteers.
And stay tuned for the next languages to come.
Great morning talk by Sascha Hesse et al. on the challenges and strategies in handling collections of #multilingual versions of a text, illustrated through the example of the Hannah Arendt Edition.
In Hindi, depending on the context, "kal" can mean either "tomorrow" or "yesterday"; "parson" can mean the day before yesterday or day after tomorrow.
Any other language do this? Sometimes I mix up yesterday/tomorrow and have to be reminded that I mean the other "kal".

We'd like to extend a huge thank-you to our first volunteer for translating our article "Vitamin D in the brain and beyond" into German! You can read it here:
https://neurofrontiers.blog/de/vitamin-d-furs-gehirn-und-noch-viel-mehr/
And of course, if you have German-speaking friends or family, feel free to share it with them! This support means a lot to our volunteers who’ve taken the time to make this work accessible in their own language and it's a great way to celebrate their efforts.
Has your #multilingual #science - that is all types of research- or teaching-related activities that necessarily include more than one language - been affected by current US policies, whether inside or outside the country? If so, @TranslateScience would like to invite you to participate in an online panel 
on this presumably in October. Get in touch via DM or email!

As a non-native English speaker from a not-so-popular language group, learning to read even casual science stuff was an uphill battle. First I had to learn English to a reasonable level. Then I realized that English-Romanian dictionaries hadn’t really kept up with science.
I eventually managed to get my hands on a fancy English-only dictionary (yes, a printed one, this was a while ago), but then I ran into another problem: I'd start from one definition, only to find another unfamiliar word in the explanation, then another one in that definition and so on, until I forgot where I had started. And even when I did understand a concept, I'd often be stuck with the English word and with a lot of frustration about trying to convey that in my own language.
Some of those struggles are outdated now. At least you no longer have to deal with a giant dictionary pressing into your ribs if you’re reading lying down. But the language gap in science communication still exists.
That’s why I’m launching a community project: The brain across languages.
We’re inviting students who speak more than one language to help us translate Neurofrontiers content into as many languages as possible.
If you’re interested (or know someone who might be), details here: https://neurofrontiers.blog/the-brain-across-languages/
Boosts are very much appreciated!
