Hi Eng.Munzir again
I take the hwbrowser and found in it 1 untranslated term and I translated
it and have some questions:
the first about the Fuzzy strings should i translate it or leave it?
You should translate it if it's not correct or unfuzzy it otherwise. Fuzzy
strings means it needs review. It could be rough translation or a translation
that it's msgid got updated.
the second about the short terms as IDE which has arabic
translation?
do I write it as it or translate it
I strongly recommend leaving acronyms as they are unless there is a popular
Arabic word for it. So, you say IDE not آي. دي. إي and not بيئة التطوير
المتكاملة and also not ب. ت. م but for things like laser, radar I would say
ليزر ورادار. If you still have doubt whether there is a known Arabic word for
one specific acronym, just ask and we can discuss it.
Happy translation!
