I think we are expressing the same difficulty of the use of
"translation" as a synonym for "localization".
However the problem remains that people who do not think of the
relationship between localization and translation may still search using
"translation" as the term when they are really looking for information
about "localization".
It would expect that a page about translation of text (list of services,
page about specific language issues, etc.) would be labeled with both
"translation" and "localization".
If someone searched for "translation", they would get the page about
"translation" as well as the page suggesting that "localization" would
be a useful alternative search if they did not get what they were
looking for using "translation" as a search term.

One clarification here. Localization and translation are not 2
slightly different ideas being used for the same concept.
Translation is one area of localization. Localization includes
translated text, number formatting, currency, date/time formatting, as
well as what calendar to use.

topics that covers the common areas.
We hope that it will help eliminate confusion over terms like
localization and translation where there were 2 slightly different ideas
being used for the same concept on different pages.
The difficulty of adding synonyms is that the label system would require
that every system administration page be labeled with all three terms in
order for all pages to be returned for any one of the terms in a search.
Suggestion: Have a Terminology page for each synonym that just states
"If you are looking for system administration, please search using
"sysadmin". This page could be labeled with all of the system
administration terms that someone might use. A similar page for
"translation" might help people who don't think of "localization".

Hi All
We will be adding labels to the documentation content to help make
searching
for documentation easier. At the moment we are proposing to use the
following labels.
• Guide (to be used at the top level page for a specific guide)
• Tutorial (to be used at the top level page for a specific
tutorial)
• Jboss
• System
• Administration (may need to combine with system)
• Security
• Deployment
• Development
• Geronimo
• Framework
• Data model (may need to combine this)
• Training
• Tomcat
• Localization
• Performance
• Websphere
• Glassfish
The labels seem to only support single words please let us know if
you think
that ‘sysadmin’ would be a better label than two separate ones e.g.
‘system’ and ‘administration’
I would put the 3 words ;)
Jacques
Please also let us have any feedback if there are any other specific
labels
that you think we should use.
Thanks
Sharan
