# Polish translation style guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use semi-formal Polish for translation, some specifics:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* informal "you" (*ty*) instead of more formal approaches (e.g. plural "you" (*wy*), using any formal titles like *Państwo*, *Pan/Pani*)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* imperative, active and continuous verbs, e.g. *manage streams* - *zarządzaj kanałami*, not *zarządź kanałami*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* not using reflexive *się*, e.g. *log out* would be simply *wyloguj*, not *wyloguj się*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* warm and friendly phrasing whenever appropriate
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* no slang or regional phrases that could be unclear or too informal, e.g. *zajawka*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* consistent usage of Zulip-specific terms and common verbs for actions, even if it means repeating - this is one of the key aspects of "semi-formal", as synonyms would be often more appropriate in written Polish
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* mindful usage of long words and phrases - it's sometimes hard to translate English to Polish concisely, be mindful of how it looks on the frontend after translating
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* balance common verbs and nouns with specific IT-related translation of English terms - this can be tricky, try to check how other resources were translated (e.g. GMail, Microsoft websites, Facebook) to decide what wouldn't sound awkward in Polish
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some terms are very tricky to translate, so be sure to communicate with other Polish speakers in the community. It's all about making Zulip friendly and usable.
