Welcome to the New Broken World! This song is dedicated to Linksys for one of the best website translations ever, that „made my day“ 😅 #outsourcingVictims #yourWebsiteIsYourVisitingCard #anotherDeletedPages #http301 #redirectedToNirvana #whenYouSayNothingAtAll

After clicking on the link on the administration-page of my new Linksys-Super-Duper-WiFi7-Router, I just wanted to download the new version of the software… but NO! I’ve been asked if I wanna be redirected to the „austrian“ page…

Sadly I was dumb enough and clicked on the „Yes“ button, which redirected me to this wonderful page with the best localisation and (german) translations ever, as evidenced here:

So I wrote a song to thank Linksys for their efforts, hard work and obligingness and wasting a lot of bucks only to help me having better user experience in my langauage (german). Thank you!

Here is the lyric. For the music, just imagine the music of „Thank you for hearing me“ from Sinead O’connor (R.I.P.) which you’ll find here on youtube, or the song from Ronan Keating „When You Say Nothing At All“ also on youtube:

„Thank You for Translation“

(Verse 1)
Thank you for translation,
Bridging every word,
When I needed understanding,
You made my voice be heard.

(Chorus)
Thank you for forwarding page,
Thank you for the HTTP error,
Thank you for the little things,
And thank you for nothing at all.

(Verse 2)
Through the code, through the language,
Through the clicks and the screens,
Every task, every detail,
You make it all feel so serene.

(Chorus)
Thank you for forwarding page,
Thank you for the HTTP error,
Thank you for the little things,
And thank you for nothing at all.

(Outro)
Thank you for all the help,
Thank you for all the small ways,
Thank you for translation,
In the digital maze.

Thank GOD! I did not check the „Save Preferences“ checkbox 🤣 (Web-Dev-Insider-Joke)
