Translation principles

Here we note the translation principles to help every translator translate in the same way.
If you decide to change a principle, please make shure that the needed change is applied to the existing translation.

Principle Reason explained
Schreibe zusammengesetzte Wörter als mehrere einzelne Wörter Obwohl das nicht der gramatischen Norm entspricht, ist es einfacher zu verstehen
Telegramm Stil Obwohl unvollständige Sätze und fehlende Deklination schlechtes Deutsch ist, ist der Text damit kurz und meistens leichter verständlich
sie klein geschrieben Höflichkeits Form "sie" verwenden, klein schreiben


Scandinavian translation resources

Translations of CiviCRM exist in Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. They need to be completed, improved and continuously maintained by feedback from users. Since May 2010, translations are maintained at the Transifex website, with pages for the Danish, Finnish, and Swedish translation teams and their discussions (no Norwegian team yet).

Translation of phrases should be consistent with a standard terminology (table below). Translations should be preferrably be unique and easy to understand.

Should system components (CiviEvent, CiviContribute, CiviMember, CiviMail, CiviGrant, CiviPledge, CiviCase, CiviReport) be translated or not?

"Pledge" is a hard word to translate. Greenpeace uses "støtte hver måned" (contribution each month) in Norwegian and "månatligt bidrag/belopp" (monthly contribution/amount) in Swedish. Bellona uses "fast giver" (steady contributor) in Norwegian. The Red Cross uses "støt os hver måned" (support us each month) and "fast bidrag/støtte/bidragyder" (steady contribution/support/contributor) in Danish and "månadsgivare" (monthly contributor) in Swedish. None of these examples is a real translation of "pledge" (the promise or intention of a recurring contribution). Authorizations for bank withdrawal are known as "avtalegiro" in Danish and Norwegian and "autogiro" in Swedish.
