Translation trap (English - German)

[Sonja Hurter]

The same translation (Englisch -> German) is used for different terms in the interface.

Stream -> Aktivitäten
Activities -> Aktivitäten

On the desktop, this is no problem due to the arrangement of the elements. On the smartphone I keep getting lost ;-)

My first idea would have been "Stream -> Verlauf". But "History" also means "Verlauf".

This is a problem with terms, that we use today. Many of the terms in software and internet use are 1:1 taken from the english language. We had that problem with "post", there simply is no word in German for that.
I named the both Aktivitäten different:
Stream = Aktivitäten (the activities in your entities)
Activities = Aktionen (because there you can trigger actions like sending email etc).

You guys could always do multiple 'language', for English there is EN-US, EN-UK, EN-AU, etc. I guess since this isn't an large enough variation language it probably have to be some other non-convention name:

DE-EN for German-English mix
DE - Standard Germany
(DE is German right? I'm not sure)

Getting the pull request approve might prove difficult though.

Your solution is a good idea! Where did you change the name? I have not found it.

[shalmaxb]

Administrator -> Bezeichnung Manager -> Global -> labels -> Activities=Aktionen und Stream=Aktivitäten

speichern und ggf. cache leeren. Das Ganze ist updatesicher.

Danke! Hat geklappt!

DE stands for German. Your suggestion "DE-EN" is great, but whether it will catch on. :-)
