The Traditional Chinese translations of Inkscape at the time was, let’s say, lacking. There were visible untranslated parts everywhere, namely in the Align and Distribute dialog, the dialog tab names, parts of the menu items, in the settings, and in the tooltips. My gripe was that some of them were partially translated, meaning that maybe the tool name was translated but the tooltip wasn’t, or in the case of the Align and Distribute dialog, some align options were and some weren’t, even though they are similar functions....

To allow the import of Adobe Illustrator files into Inkscape, we are developing a Python extension. This post outlines the progress in the 1st month of the project, October 2024. Work is carried out inside the git repository [extension-ai](https://gitlab.com/inkscape/extras/extension-ai/).

November 6, 2024, marks the end of the 20th anniversary year for the Inkscape project, and the beginning of a new decade of adventure. There were a few milestones this past year, among them an informal global celebration, a bug-fix program, an About Screen Contest, an Inkscape Summit, a summer of code, and the launch of version 1.4.

Here’s a brief look at some of those milestones.

On November 18, 2023, the Inkscape project celebrated its 20th anniversary.

The anniversary celebration was an online get-together of Inkscape users and contributors.

This was an initiative by the Vectors team and the intention was to bring Inkscape users and contributors together to celebrate 20 years of Inkscape.

After months of waiting, we are finally ready to unbox the latest version of Inkscape... meet 1.4, the Geek edition, where accessibility and customization reign.

Inkscape project developers, most of them volunteer contributors from countries around the world, have been plugging away behind the scenes on new features, improving current ones, bug fixes and setting the stage for the arrival of GTK 4.
