+title: Improve Internationalization Support for the Guix Data Service

+
+The first half of my [Outreachy](https://www.outreachy.org/)
+internship is already over and I am really excited to share my
+experience. Over the past weeks I’ve had the opportunity to work on
+the [Guix Data Service](https://data.guix.gnu.org/), watch myself
+change, and accomplish way more than I thought I would.
+
+The Guix Data Service processes, stores and provides data about Guix
+over time. It provides a complementary interface to Guix itself by
+having a web interface and API to browse and access the data.
+
+The work I have done so far revolves around storing translated [lint
+checker descriptions][guix-lint-docs] as well as package synopsis and
+descriptions in the Guix Data Service PostgreSQL database and making
+them available through the Guix Data Service web interface.
+
+[guix-lint-docs]: 
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-lint.html
+
+Initially the Guix Data Service database had translated versions of
+lint warning messages available, but they were not accessible through
+the web interface, so I made that possible during the [contribution
+period](https://www.outreachy.org/docs/applicant/#make-contributions).
+
+Working on making lint warning messages available on the web interface
+made it easier for me to understand how translations for lint checker
+descriptions and package synopsis and descriptions would be stored in
+the database and later on be made available through the Guix Data
+Service web interface.  At this point, the Guix Data Service supports
+package synopsis and descriptions as well as lint checker descriptions
+in various locales.

+locale](/static/blog/img/guix-data-service-audacity.png)
+
+Hopefully these changes will provide the Guix Data Service users with
+a more feasible way to interact with Guix data.
+
+I have to note that this is my first internship and I was initially
+reluctant to believe that I would be able to tackle or successfully
+accomplish the tasks I was assigned, but with my mentor’s help and
+guidance I managed to.  So far it has been a rewarding experience
+because it has helped me make progress in so many aspects, whilst
+contributing to a project that will potentially increase inclusion.
+
+While working on this project, I’ve significantly improved my Guile,
+SQL, and Git skills and I am now more aware of how software
+localization is achieved.  In addition to getting more technically
+skilled, this internship has taught me how to manage time and emotions
+when dealing with more than one activity at a time.
+
+Now that a good share of what was initially planned to be done is
+accomplished, my mentor suggested working on something using the Guix
+Data Service data and I will be engaged in that during the remaining
+half.
+
+These first 7 weeks of my internship have gone by really fast, but I
+have enjoyed everything and I am so eager to experience what's to
+come.
