Convention for Chinese Translation

谢东平 Dongping Xie edited this page Mar 27, 2015 · 14 revisions

Purpose

This page aims to provide a discussion place for the convention/translation issues. The discussed issues will be put into a CONVENTION.md file that could be used as the source and the reference for the Chinese translation.

Uncertainties at the translation can also be discussed here.

Workflow

The version at the https://github.com/DongpingXieTUD/ModelicaBook/tree/chinese-integration will be built and pushed to the S3 Bucket http://cnbook.s3-website-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/cn/

Please send the pull request to this repository.

Style Guide

Escape Spaces

The RST constructs requires spaces before and after the word. But in Chinese language, no space should be used. The solution is to escape the space with a backslash: \ *重要*\ instead of *重要*

Some words of latin origin are italicized in the original text. For example

*e.g*, *i.e.*

Obviously, if they are translated, one shouldn't be using them in italic style, since they are now Chinese words:
