Well, the Academy is trying hard to help mass production of new terms. They have guidelines on how to translate an foreign term, and want their words be considered as an example of what has reached consensus, and now can be stabilized. These will be used in public media and public education, then. But they can't translate new terms, since one can hardly reach consensus on them, when one hasn't seen them in Persian context. Translating new terms, is what translators and tutors should do (possibly using the help the Academy guidelines provide). > Any way, there is a lot of argument on these issues > and it needs professional discussions. I agree very much. roozbeh _______________________________________________ FarsiWeb mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/farsiweb
