This Week in Matrix 2021-10-01-Nheko - eviltoast

Nico (@deepbluev7:neko.dev) told us:

While I am a bit busy at the moment, Nheko is getting a lot of valuable smaller contributions:

Updated the emoji pickers to Unicode 14, so that you can properly troll people.

Pasting images should now work properly again on Windows and macOS, including pasting SVGs!

The help and version command line parameters now work properly, even if an instance of Nheko is already running.

There has also been a lot of progress on the translations! We just cracked 50% translated, but since that includes a lot of languages with only a few percent, this is actually much more than it sounds! We actually have 8 languages with over 90% translations now. If you speak one of the languages at 70% or so, any help translating the remaining bits is very much appreciated. You can easily translate without an account here: https://weblate.nheko.im/projects/nheko/nheko-master/#translations If you want to translate without having to rely on the upvote mechanism, feel free to ask for translation permissions directly in #nheko:nheko.im. That is also the right room to ask questions about the translation process or translations themselves.

Nheko is also participating at Hacktoberfest this year. Translations done using the webinterface won’t get counted for that though, you would need to submit a pull request manually for that. If you always felt like contributing to Nheko would be fun, but you had no reason to, now you can do it to let someone plant a tree for you (or get a T-shirt)!

That’s all, I need to get back on my train!
