Contributions
From time to time I contribute to various open source and free software projects; with code, packaging or translation. Keep in mind that some of these efforts are collaborations, and when it comes to translations at least, may not be entirely complete.
Code
While you can find examples of programming I’ve done in the code section of this page, when it comes to code that I’ve contributed to open source and free software projects you should refer to my GitHub account.
Packaging
So far I haven’t done a lot of packaging, though I have packaged biblatex-apa for GNU Guix as texlive-biblatex-apa – see patch 57085.
Translation
When it comes to natural languages, my mother tongue is Norwegian, and in writing I use both Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk. My second language is English (en-GB), my third German. Although I have no problem reading English, I try to contribute by translating English games and programs into both forms of written Norwegian.
The following sections describe some of what I have contributed to translate. Keep in mind that translation is often an incremental and collaborative effort, and that the application may have changed since last I helped to translate it.
| Title | Collaboration | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DictionarySearch | No | An extension for Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird that lets you look up the selected text in a dictionary. I've translated this to Norwegian Bokmål. |
| Gollum | No | A web-based Wikipedia-browser that I have translated to Norwegian Nynorsk. It seems to be defunct. |
| Launchpad | Yes | A platform for collaboration and code hosting for software projects. Many programs are translateable through this platform. I've mostly been collaborating with others to translate programs in the Ubuntu Linux distribution. |
| Mastodon | Yes | An open source federated and decentralized social network. I have contributed to the Norwegian Nynorsk translation. |
| Minetest | Yes | An open source voxel game engine. |
| MyPaint | No | An open source program digital painters that I have translated to Norwegian Nynorsk. |
| Stellarium | Yes | A open source planetarium. I've been collaborating with others to translate it to Norwegian Nynorsk. |
