Hello All,
2. Terminologies/Phrases:
such deamon..logins.. user home directory..scripts.. ssh..ftp..http..cgi..
How to shape-up its translation in a final phrase..
i don't know whether we should consider it like product names or not, but i
guess it should be attached with more describtive text.
also.. something like this phrase: "Allow sysadm_t to do almost
everything"
The same thing the word 'sysadm_t' i don't know whether it's a service
or
a deamon or whatever kind of process it is.. but i think it should be
attached with text defines what sysadm_t is?!
I want to propose a rule here: If an English speaker won't understand the
phrase, an Arabic speaker should ;)
In other words if an English speaker need an instructor or a book or ... to
understand it, the Arabic speaker should need it, too, or else we will close
our institute ;)
i want to ask.. how can i test these po files on fedora and see
arabic
supported.. i didn't install fedora but i just want to know how.
man msgfmt
3.Translation Conflicts:
last thing i guess.. We have to settle a way between us whenever a conflict
occurs in our translation..
we are not a big team..just 6 active members, and voting won't be a good
solution in our case.. i guess!!
for example: the word 'directory'..i would prefer
Maybe am wrong maybe am right.. but there is a conflict(little one) and we
should settle a way to solve such a conflict whenever it occurs.. something
other than voting because we are only 6 no more(hope we get bigger).. and
we all follow such way.. or is somebody here have the rights of Veto :)
Let's discuss it first: I am proposing different translations for directories
and folders since there are situations where there is a distinction. They use
folder for something different than a directory.
BTW, What's .pot files you'v been talking about!! :))
The original po file before beginning translation is .pot we just rename it
to .po before starting.
