RoRers, I am often interested with technologies that interface with natural languages. These include machine translation systems, automatic (POS) taggers and speech recognition systems, to mention a few. Above all, I am a hardcore preacher of localization of software.
I am curious about the *literal translation* of the phrase "Ruby on Rails". Q: What is "*Ruby on Rails*" in your Language? A: In my language, *Chichewa*, (a language in Malawi. ISO codes ny, nya.), " *Ruby on Rails*" is *"Njero pa Njanje"* (read as *Njéro pâ Njânjé*). This question has been influenced by some the code snippets I have been seeing on this forum. They contain non-English words. They excite and energize me very much. Of course, "Ruby on Rails" is a proper noun which is often not literally translated in localizations, but I am just curious about it.
