Some general translation comments (I don't particularly know about Spanish). Alejandro Riveira Fernández: > I'm open to sugestions. the same problem with "commit" (either verb or > noun) tracking branch, push ( propagar is ok? ) etc... For my translation, I used the translated versions of "check-in" (as in to check-in to a flight) for "commit", for "branch" I used the same word as for a branch on a tree, and for "push", I translated as "send". If you can't find a direct translation, finding a simpler synonym in English is usually a good way to go. Also do check if there are translated GUIs for other version control software, and try to be consistent with them. >> I'm not sure what the standard translation of EOF is, but seeing as it >> stands for "End Of File" it wouldn't surprise me if there is something >> similar in Spanish like "FDA" (Fin De Archivo) or something similar...? > > I think people use the EOF just like they use NULL or cd-rom or many other > neologism If there is doubt, it is usually better to spell it out, possibly keeping the original abbreviation (such as writing "EOF (end of file)", with "end of file" translated). -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/
