Gabi: Projects

My dearest pet project is Iedra.es, formerly Dirae.es, perhaps the most advanced online tool for delving into the Spanish language from a linguistics perspective. It is used by writers, translators, journalists, researchers and Pasapalabra contestants.

Some other toys and random content I made are:

  • pythex, a quick way to test python regular expressions.
  • Covarrubias, an ongoing handcrafted transcription of the Tesoro de Covarrubias (the first Spanish dictionary).
  • ipsofacto.org, a beautiful showcase of film cinemagraphs found on the web.
  • Covarrubiator, a toy to translate modern Spanish to Golden Age Spanish style. It comes with a companion Bluesky bot commenting on current events.
  • Municipios. An interactive map of Spain, France and Italy where you can easily find name patterns in municipalities. It was inspired by reddit user syl20_0's map.

Translation

I always liked translating from English to Spanish as a way to unwind and clear my mind.

For several years I diligently translated the xkcd comic strips, but now I only do it once in a blue moon. You can find them at es.xkcd.com.
