en	What is the Fediverse?
gd	Dè tha sa cho-shaoghal?

en	To exchange emails
gd	Airson post-d a sgrìobhadh

en	do you need to join the email provider
gd	an leig thu leas clàradh le solaraiche

en	of your penpal?
gd	do charaid-sa?

en	How about their phone network?
gd	Dè mu dhèidhinn lìonra an fhòn aca-san?

en	[Meow]
gd	[Miamh]

en	Of course you don’t
gd	Tha fhios nach leig thu leas idir

en	because standards exist to federate these services
gd	air sgàth ’s nan stannardan a leigeas leis na seirbheisean sin

en	enabling you to communicate with anyone
gd	conaltradh le duine sam bith

en	regardless of provider.
gd	ge b’ e cò an solaraiche aca.

en	Without federation,
gd	Gun cho-nasgadh,

en	you would have to subscribe
gd	bhiodh agad ri fo-sgrìobhadh fhaighinn

en	to multiple providers.
gd	le iomadh solaraiche.

en	Or worse,
gd	No nas miosa buileach,

en	the services with the most users
gd	ghabhadh an t-seirbheis leis an àireamh as motha

en	would hoover up everybody else,
gd	de luchd-cleachdaidh thairis a h-uile gin eile

en	eventually leading to monopolies
gd	agus aig deireadh na sgeòil bhiodh lèir-shealbhachdan

en	and open to abuses.
gd	agus cunnart droch-dhìola ann.

en	So why should everyone subscribe
gd	Mar sin dheth, carson a bu chòir dhan a h-uile duine fo-sgrìobhadh

en	to the same platform to share videos and messages?
gd	air an aon ùrlar gus videothan is teachdaireachdan a cho-roinneadh?

en	Why aren’t social networks federated?
gd	Carson nach eil na lìonraidhean sòisealta ceangailte ri chèile?

en	Each planet here is like a service provider.
gd	Tha gach planaid an-seo coltach ri solaraiche seirbheise.

en	With a centralized approach,
gd	Le innleachd mheadhanaichte,

en	you can only interact with the people
gd	chan urrainn dhut conaltradh ach le daoine

en	on the planet you live on.
gd	a tha air an aon planaid ’s a tha thu fhèin.

en	Now imagine…
gd	Nise, saoil…

en	if you could communicate with people
gd	gum b’ urrainn dhut conaltradh le daoine

en	on other planets.
gd	air planaidean eile.

en	Imagine…
gd	Saoil…

en	if you could share videos, events
gd	gum b’ urrainn dhut videothan, tachartasan,

en	instant messages, microblogs…
gd	grad-theachdaireachdan, meanbh-bhlogaichean…

en	with the whole universe.
gd	a cho-roinneadh leis an domhan gu lèir.

en	Imagine…
gd	Saoil…

en	if it didn’t matter which planet you came from.
gd	nach biodh e gu diofar cò leis a tha thu.

en	Standards are a common language
gd	’S e cànan cumanta a tha sna stannardan

en	for software to communicate.
gd	a chùm conaltradh bathair-bhog.

en	Your login on any one of these services
gd	Le clàradh air gin sam bith dhe na seirbheisean seo

en	allows you to interact
gd	’s urrainn dhut conaltradh

en	with a whole diverse universe
gd	le domhan ioma-dhòigheach

en	whilst not being tied to just one corporation.
gd	gun a bhith ceangailte ri aon chorporaid a-mhàin.

en	This is… the Federated Universe.
gd	Seo an domhan co-naisgte.

en	The Fediverse!
gd	An co-shaoghal!
