From: Ralph Haußmann Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 18:57:55 GMT Subject: AW: English/German terminology, git.git's de.po, and pro-git Message-ID: <001d01ce500b$c7c08b70$5741a250$@scanmyfood.de> In-Reply-To: Hi, My vote is G+E, too. lb1a, Florian Breisch and I are working on the german translation of the pro-git book (hosted on git-scm.com). We use the repository [1] to share our work. If someone wants to help us, JOIN US! The current translation of pro-git is mixed, Ger and G+E. For example, the translation of "annotated tag" is "Annotated Tag", "kommentierter Tag" and also "kommentierte Markierung". I agree with the opinion of Jan Engelhardt that german terms should be used if they are commonly used in technical context ("tree"=> "Baum" but "tag" should be "Tag" in german, too). There is a glossary for the pro-git book (see [2]) but it is not up-to-date and it is also mixed. Therefor I would like to avoid using this glossary. I like the idea of a shared wiki (git de.po and pro-git). I suggest a single page as overview and single pages for complicated terms. Maybe we can use our GitHub wiki (see also [3]).
