wait (1) yoctoseconds

yoctosecond is the meaning of 10⁻²⁴ seconds.

<[yoctosecond] = [10⁻²⁴ seconds]>

cause now this is true!

This is a great reminder of how global the Scratch community really is! It’s amazing to see that Scratch supports over 70 languages.

For anyone looking to help out, keep in mind:

Age Requirement: You must be 18 or older to use the Transifex platform for legal and privacy reasons.

Accuracy: If you see a block that sounds ‘weird’ in your language, following the Translation Guidelines is the best way to suggest a fix so it stays consistent for everyone.

Extension vs. Interface: Remember, this is for translating the Scratch Editor/Blocks themselves. If you just need to translate text inside your game, you should use the green ‘Translate’ Extension blocks!

Thanks to all the volunteers who keep Scratch accessible for people everywhere!

In the top menu of the Scratch editor (web), the File > Load from your computer item is not translated.
In all languages, this item is still in English.
Tested in EDGE, Firefox, Safari on MacOS and Windows. It behaves the same everywhere.

documentation of E (yes this is a real project made by Koamodo975, i think he went to touch grass lol)

Hello.I'm wondering if that by the near future, would Scratch have translated into every major language?
