I've a remarks concerning the proposed patch to the translation of gdm
debconf questions.
-"Ekran yöneticisi, X Window Sistemi'ne grafik arayüz ile giriş
yapmayı sağlar."
+"Ekran yöneticisi, X Pencere Sistemi'ne grafik arayüz ile giriş
yapmayı "
+"sağlar."
I'm not sure that translating "X Window" is a good idea as it's the
name of technology. In French it's not translated for example.
What do you think?
Thanks for bringing up this tricky situation. I've changed the old
translation because it is only partially translated. There are several
alternatives:
1. treat "X Window System" as a proper noun and don't translate it at
all (X Window System'a ...)
2. treat "X Window System" as a proper noun and translate it as a proper
noun (X Pencere Sistemi'ne ...). this is the new translation submitted.
3. treat "X Window" part as a proper noun as you suggested and translate
the rest like a common noun (X Window sistemine ...)
4. treat only "X" as a proper noun and translate the rest like a common
noun (X pencere sistemine ...)
(3) doesn't feel right since after a quick check I've seen both "X" and
"X Window System" are commonly used but not "_X Window_ system".
X(7) notes:
The X.Org Foundation requests that the following names be
used when
referring to this software:
X
X Window System
X Version 11
X Window System, Version 11
X11
I'm not sure on how to proceed as well so I'll check with the others.
