Fwd: [Launchpad-translators] [Fwd: Launchpad translations terminology (was: Glossary for all languages)]

Je pense que ça peut être d'intérêt, mais on gagnerait à en discuter avant
de commencer les traductions pêle-mêle.

I'm forwarding this message to Launchpad Translators as I think this
terminology is important for all persons and translations teams
making translations using Launchpad Translations

At the Jaunty UDS (about one year ago) we had a session about starting a
glossary, terminology and other "translation standards". We didn't
achieve much, but we set up a project and a team.

I have created a first version for a set of terms that can form our
terminology:
https://translations.launchpad.net/translation-standards

Feel free to modify the POT file, request a merge proposal and discuss
improvements. The branch is here:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~translation-standards-devel/translation-standards/launchpad-terminology

We can discuss changes here or using the Answers section:

We have the Ubuntu glossary https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Glossary
but I think the first step would be creating a translation terminology.

I'm trying to make this discussion more generic by addressing the needs
of all projects hosted in Launchpad, not only Ubuntu.
This is why I have created the new terminology under the Launchpad
Translators umbrella.

Also since Launchpad Translations is "the default" tool for translating
project hosted in Launchpad, I'm looking after a better integration of
this terminology with the workflow of people doing translations using
Launchpad Translations.

Cheers,
