It's suffering from lack of time right now. I'm buried in OpenOffice (finally at 100%, so I can read my email before starting review), and Youssef Chahibi has probably been just as busy. He worked on a 1000-word base file, for quick matching, which I then compared with my personal glossary, recommending terms for inclusion/ exclusion in the base file, and for inclusion in a larger file. I sent that to him. I haven't had a chance to get on IRC since, so I don't know where he's up to. Youssef, are you there and have a minute? :) I still aim to work on this project, but it will have to be time snatched from OOo for a while. I want to go through both the base and larger file, adding definitions. We're also going to create an acronyms file. Youssef has already converted the Wikipedia list of computing etc. abbreviations [1] into PO format, and I want to compare it with my acronym page [2] and pending acronyms-to-add list, and again work on a fairly comprehensive resource. While I've been translating OpenOffice recently, I have really appreciated the current terminology file, which has reminded me of the current official vocabulary. It's so easy to forget the current accepted way to transate each item, so Pootle's terminology file has saved me looking items up. I've also been able to update the terminology file, when the current translation has changed. I think terminology files in Pootle, including acronyms, can save translators a great deal of time, as well as performing a QA function in reminding us of the correct terms and spelling. from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computing_and_IT_abbreviations [2] http://www.riverland.net.au/~clytie/viet/netacrvn.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
