Show HN: Matroschka – A Python steganography tool

- sorokod 10y agoFWITW, in Russian matroska is something a seaman may have, a hat for example. Matroshka is is nesting wooden doll which seems appropriate here.
- adrusi 10y agoThat's because the matroška container format is often formated as just "matroska" which happens to be a different word. The "š" is the character used for the "sh" sound in slavic languages that use the latin alphabet such as Croatian. "Matroshka" is an anglicized spelling, while "Matroschka" is a germinized spelling.
- colinbartlett 10y agoIt might have been better to transliterate "матрёшка" as "matryoshka" rather than "matroschka". Since ё is a "yo" sound, it seems more phonetically accurate.
- vojd 10y agoThanks for the comment. Matroschka is the German transliteration.
