But they continue working. ACCESS TO [link] AND FAVE IT TOUCHING IN [ + ♥ ⌉ All Cultures: Pi (π) and Angelo Sotira. A few days ago our group -#AllCultures- received the best of the news. Worried because an excessively anglophone staff which would maybe not understand our fair and enriching demand, we read in [link] that Angelo Sotira, +spyed, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), Founder and alma mater of deviantArt, is actually working on dA's new version (the 8th) and... He was born in Greece!! We can't possibly think of any other language that could represent better the concepts of plurality, universality and respect which make our group's emblem. We dreamed that in this new version the module that holds the titles in our page could host any kind of character written within. Maybe eliminating the very own title in the link and generating access to the works simply via alphanumeric combinations or increasing the destined space to allow non English characters' Unicode HTML codes (something that, in the other hand, would always be good in the name of one's own creativity and descriptive need. Many times, the space for titles may look scarce, we always can look for alternatives, but it's important to entitle with freedom). We fully trust dA's technical team capability, we are aware of their solvency and we think "Everything is possible in the Net". Thanks to Angelo, it won't be necessary to explain to the US people once again the hetereogeneity of their own country. Indicating towards other deviants their European names may have been modified in Ellis Island not so many generations ago or, turning back, they will find wherever they are looking to other people of families hailing from any region of Europe, Africa, Asia or Hispanamerica who provided and provide their language and their culture to the reality of the country. It's the very essence of the USA since their own creation. Probably Angelo will be «Άγγελος» for his family and in his environment the language of Aeschylus, Plato or Homer (the real deal, not Matt Groening's fantastic alter ego; in the other hand most probably of European ancestry and with some "rare" letter in it primitive appeal: Gröning or Gröening) will be spoken. Who else better than Greek people, generator of what we know as "modern world", Arts protectors, creators of Philosophy and Democracy, first exhaustive studious of History, Geography, Physics, Mathematics, to exemplary the multiculturalism in their language and the richness of a respectful and interconnected world? The Greek people... Owners of a language that, together with Latin, continues to generate the etymological base of all the world's languages. The new words that science and progress generate adopt a Greek or Latin root in any language and it's been like that for centuries. Don't look for English roots, neither Normand, Saxon nor Celtic in "biology" or "biography", better notice the Greek words «βίος» bios, life; «λóγος» logos, study, etc. And it's like that for all languages with base in the Occidental romanized writing: biología, biologji, biologie, biologija, biologi, biologije, bioloogia, bioleg, bioloxía, biológia, bitheolaíochta, bioloģija, biologija, bijoloġija, biolojia, biyoloji... It also is the phonetic-etymological base for many other alphabets. What comes to my head is the most universal of the symbols, the only one used by absolutely all the 2.261 languages that count with writing system. The relationship between a circumference and it diameter, meaning, pi (π). Being honest, a number: 3'14159265..., present in all knowledge's orders: in Physics and Mathematics, in Geometry, in Drawing, in Design, in Art. Look for the farther language, the strangest writing system you can find and there you will find π. Among uncomprehensible characters, a familiar face. The most universal of all human writing symbols is also a forbidden character in deviantArt titles. Despite being part of the header of thousands of books and even movies and artworks, despite being part of our lives up to unsuspected extremes. We request dA's staff the maximum effort to improve our page enabling the space for titles of other languages in the name of cultural respect and creative freedom. Please, do convey our message to Angelo: Άγγελε, μπορείς να μας βοηθήσεις; AND OUR FIRST NEWS TOO. FAVE IT: [link] My friends don't want to belong to deviantArt — A few days ago I invited some friends to join to dA's artistic community and I even sent them a lifetime Premium membership. All of them rejected my offer, with no exceptions. This ones are some of the replies: Sincerely Yours, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. - "Diálogo del espejo"Just a few examples. Thanks, but no. Gabriel García Márquez, 1982 Nobel Prize (altough I don't give myself importance) - "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"And $ yes but £ not? Freedom, please, freedom... Samuel Langhorn Clemens, a.k.a Mark Twain - "As Opiniões que o DL Teve"José Saramago, 1998 Literature's Nöbel - "Os Lusíadas"Saúde. Luís de Camões - "Manual prático do vampirismo"Abraço. Paulo Coelho. - "La Nausée"Jean Paul Sartre (J'ai refusé le prix Nobel de littérature en 1964 et refuse les Llama badges) Strange characters? Ñ, Ç, Ø, Ę, Å, Ô, Ü, Dž, Э, Ş, ß, Á, È, &...π! Complete list of forbbiden Occidental characters here: «All in HTML» They are our culture. The universal culture. English is just an intercultural communication vehicle. Art speaks 1000 languages. deviantArt must not restrict creative freedom, titles are important. Join our group to request the maximum effort in order to change this situation. dA will be better tomorrow. We all are deviantArt. ALL LANGUAGES, ALL CULTURES. Join |
• deviantART translated in multiple languages.
"For as much as we all would like deviantART to be translated in our own language, we should remember that this website is based in the US, hence the reason why it's in English."
— That is, "everybody would like to have dA in their own language, but we're sorry, dA is based in USA and therefore it's in English."
• Titles with more than 30 characters and also allowing special characters in them.
"This one is really common, especially the request of using characters like "ü à é ç ! ?". The main reason is that people would like to be able to write titles in their own languages and from time to time foreigners languages use accents on letters and other special characters."
— That is, "if we start making the use of new characters possible, everybody will want to use their mothertongue's accents and special character sets."
- The Internet was created in USA and with the character codes that English language required (called US-ASCII). The alphabet for English is the most limited of all variations of the Roman alphabet; it will be found short when one tries to write in other languages with the former (English alphabet). What in start was logical (additionally for ease of use), cannot be considered a goal anymore.
- The Internet was massified during the mid 90s, but it was not until October 2007 when ASCII modified its system (basically changing from 7 to 8 bits) to enable the inclusion of Ñ and Ç, and other "strange" characters of foreign occidental languages in the address bar. It was not a consequence of a will for improvement, but the governments of different affected countries made pressure during years; until then, the response was "it is impossible". They would also take into account the economical possibilities of this expansion, of course. The cases of incompatibility with browsers or navigators, etc. have been gradually resolved.
- Late 2009 year, an international comission (ICANN - Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), sponsored by the UN, removed the US government from control and included non roman characters in web addresses and domains.

• deviantART translated in multiple languages.
«For as much as we all would like deviantART to be translated in our own language, we should remember that this website is based in the US, hence the reason why it's in English.»
— Es decir, "a todo el mundo le gustaría tener dA en su idioma pero lo sentimos, esto se basa en los USA y por ello es en inglés."
• Titles with more than 30 characters and also allowing special characters in them.
«This one is really common, especially the request of using characters like "ü à é ç ! ?". The main reason is that people would like to be able to write titles in their own languages and from time to time foreigners languages use accents on letters and other special characters.»
— Es decir, "si incluímos algún nuevo carácter, todo el mundo querría usar sus idiomas extranjeros y sus acentos y letras especiales".
— Internet fue creado en USA y con los códigos de caracteres que ellos necesitaban, el denominado US-ASCII. El alfabeto inglés es el más limitado (26 caracteres) de todos los alfabetos romanos, todos los demás tienen carencias de mayor o menor importancia con él. Lo que en su creación tiene su lógica por motivos de sencillez de funcionamiento, no puede considerarse una meta.
— La Red se masificó a mediados de los 90, pero no fue hasta Octubre de 2007 cuando ASCII modificó su sistema, simplemente, pasándolo de 7 a 8 bits, para permitir la inclusión de la Ñ, Ç y otros caracteres "raros" del alfabeto Occidental o romano en la barra de direcciones. Y no fue consecuencia de una voluntad de mejora, los propios gobiernos de diferentes países afectados presionaron durante años. Hasta entonces, la respuesta era que "es imposible". También valorarían las posibilidades económicas de su ampliación, claro. Los casos de incompatibilidad con los navegadores, etc. se han ido resolviendo.
— A finales de 2009, una comisión internacional (ICANN, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), auspiciada por ONU, retiró el control al gobierno USA e incluyó los caracteres no romanos en las direcciones o dominios de la Red.
