[[MediaWiki:Echo-notification-notice-text-only/he]]

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Guycn2

AFAIK, the Echo extension only uses three words: "Alerts", "Notices", and "Notifications".

IINM, "Posts" and "Messages" are not used in this extension.

"Alerts" refer to the red badge (), and "Notices" refer to the blue badge ().

"Notifications" is a general word that includes both "Alerts" and "Notices". This is actually the special page (Special:Notifications) that shows all kinds of notifications, i.e. both alerts and notices.

In Hebrew we have a problem, because "Alerts" means "התראות", "Notices" means "הודעות", and "Notifications" means either "הודעות" or "התראות". This results a confusing duplication, because this way the translation of "Notifications" must be similar to either "Alerts" or "Notices". Currently, it is similar to "Notices", as the special page in Hebrew is called "הודעות", while the blue badge is also called "הודעות".

Yeah, that's the issue more or less.

Months ago at the previous change I carefully went over all the messages and made it consistent. I had to be repetitive because we don't have enough varied words. I am fine with doing it one more time if needed, but I'd really appreciate a glossary that everybody can use. And of course it will be OK to update this glossary when needed.

If you translate "Notice" by "הודעה" and "Alert" by "התראה", that fine.

Translate "Notification" by "הודעה" is not that confusing, because Alerts are the most important Notifications.

Amir, speaking of glossary I think T129088 is for you. :)

Any updates? Thoughts?
