alt Hacker NewsAn interesting thing of this article is that the SVG image of the type matchup [1] has embedded automatic translation.
The type labels will be displayed in the language your browser is set to. I didn't even know this was possible.

Wow thats very cool, i was puzzled at first as to why the pokemon types were in Finnish!
It's using the <switch> tag for this

However, like with many of these obscure features, I am not so sure it works well in practice. I have the Windows 11 laptop I'm viewing that SVG from set with support enabled for english, french and russian, and I'm getting, among most of the English tags, a few stray "Psychique" and "Привидение" types in the svg. I have no idea how it chooses which one to show, there.
Oh that's really cool, I didn't know about this! I just linked to the wikimedia-hosted illustration, but that's a good perk too.
