Hello.

Inspired by a recent trip to India and the emphasis on local language content, I developed a script to translate my Hugo-based blog using Google Cloud Translate. This script processes markdown files, handles code blocks and pull quotes, and outputs translated versions, expanding the potential reach of my content to non-English speakers. While machine translation isn't perfect, the goal is to improve content discoverability and accessibility for a wider audience. I'll share results as data becomes available.

I've spent this week in India doing more research about Web Development in India and how mobile is changing that. Publically at least it is not rosey, app development and app thinking is very high whislt building for the web with mobile in mind is very low.

On the web determining and adapting to network type the user is on is incredibly hard. Until now.
