German translation

February 20, 2021 · View on GitHub

This is a page for collaboration on terminology between German translators

Let's build a coherent dictionary for the translation of technical and other Monero-related terms, providing consistency and ease of maintainability for future translators/contributers. The initial wordlist was branched off from the swedish collab.

Everything in this document should be treated as a request for comment, so it can and probably will change in the future upon further input.

Guidelines (WIP)

Translation of terms

Whenever possible, the terms from the 'agreed-upon' list should be used.

Handling of placeholder text

Placeholder text should not be translated, so that upstream changes are automatically displayed in the gui. Examples: '4...', '78.9239845', '2324.9239845'. This assumes that numeric value input defaults to US throughout localizations.

TODO: Compile and check assumption

Changed

Less ambiguous/incoherent: Former translation was found to be ambiguous technically or in meaning, or the term was translated differently throughout the GUI. This can and will always happen, understandability > consistency :)

^1 : Inconsistent in upstream?

Unchanged

Consistent: Leaving the existing translation made sense.
