Portal:Hi/Terminology
This page is for listing standard translations for words, terms and phrases which are highly repeated in the messages; so that translations across products can be standardised. Standard terms should be chosen keeping in mind:
- Is it in use elsewhere on the internet?
- Is it something that will be easily understood?
- Is it possible to have a well-known hindi translation instead of using a loanword?
- In case of synonyms, which sounds more formal and which is not derived from urdu
Current standard translation include:
Words
- article: लेख
- category: श्रेणी
- character: when refering to an alphabet: अक्षर or कैरैक्टर The latter should be used in programming contexts since अक्षर can consist of more than one character. Example: किया has 2 अक्षर, कि and या but 4 characters क ि य and ा . The context should be kept in mind when translating this.

Numerals
Since some projects use nagari numerals while others use arabic numerals; while translating, it should always be attempted to avoid direct use of either of them. If a parameter is availaible which contains the number, it should be used for specifying the number. If a parameter is not availaible, word form of the numbers should be used, such as एक for one, दो for two etc.
Language Names
There are possible variants of language names and spellings. The major ones are listed below. The Standard translation column attempts to list the language name/spelling which is most popular (with some exceptions), and other variants which are somewhat popular are given as alternates. This list can be amended by anyone, but the standard translation should not be replaced without discussion; and a minimum number of variants should be kept, only those which have considerable popularity. Use of the standard translation should be attempted in all translations.
