Technical Dictionary on the Wiki

10th December 2006 - 37853 Reads

The technical dictionary aims to translate and standardise technical terms that are used in software. It is an effort to unify the terms used across all projects, to present the user with consistant and understandable interfaces.

We have been, since some time, trying to discuss the terms using the mailing list. This created many problems: discussions are forgotten, people discuss terms over and over and there is no single point of reference for all terms.

To solve these, we have recently imported the dictionary to the wiki. You are welcome to contribute, whether you are a native english or bilingual speaker. Proficiency is not need, normal users are also welcome since the work is being done for them, you can comment on whether the term is understandable to you.
The dictionary is available here (Currently only words starting with A are there):

Leave a comment on the discussion page if you would like guidance on where to contribute.

    Salam alikoum,
    … good idea ! I saw the french’s one in KDE’s localization team : http://fr.l10n.kde.org/dict/index.php, but it seems this project is better. I’m certain it will help many translators. Thank you for the community.
