Here is a simple but useful ha[k for formatting @google Translate in Gā (a language in 🇬🇭), but can be apply to other languages, especially “DDLs” that are added to Google Translate. You = “nyɛ” (Plural form) You = “o / bo” (Singular form) In Gā.

Is it only our team or everyone else is experiencing this glitch — ChatGPT’s grainy noise over images we are generating for an animated commercial video? Also, the route to maintaining consistency in generated images in same scenes is painstakingly “fun”. @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp

>> And see it as a modular system that can generate different combinations of its visual units into same or similar glyph possibilities. In the end, I am aiming at creating a complete character set and turning it into a usable font.

@hhpapazian, This is usually use in royal writings during the Ottoman Empire, and was used in the Sultan signature. It is a very specialized thing and... it is seen as a decoration. [Perhaps, explains why not capitalization in Arabic daily usage.] (June 03, 2025, @_KamalMansour)
