Thread:User talk:Михајло Анђелковић/Pot and kettle? :)/reply (5)

I've had an IRC chat with Rancher. It seems like the main part of the discussion is about using imperative vs. infinitive translations. We've had the same discussion for Dutch. In NL, Microsoft uses infinitive, Apple uses imperative for menu items.

It's really important to get consensus on this, because using this in a mixed way creates very confusing user interfaces.

I think getting it written down properly what the alternatives are, getting consensus with more than the two of you -- there are more than two translators for your language, right? -- and then sticking to it, and fixing whatever currently differs, will solve this problem.

UI translators must stick to conventions, otherwise users suffer. Please keep that in mind.
