The language style of Zulip is a little colloquial, while the Chinese translation prefers a formal style and also avoids stereotypes. Since Zulip is a modern internet application, many Chinese translations are borrowed from the popular Web softwares, such as WeiBo, WeChat, QQ Mail etc. that most of Chinese users are familiar with.

Zulip的文风比较口语化，考虑到大多数中国用户的习惯，翻译时的语言习惯稍微正式了一点，但也尽量避免刻板。Zulip是一款时尚的互联网应用，翻译时也借鉴了中国用户熟悉的微博、微信、QQ邮箱等软件的用语习惯，以期贴近用户。

"Message" can be literally translated as "消息" and "信息", both OK. Here "消息" is chosen for translation. For example, "Stream Message" is translated as "频道消息", while "Private Message" is translated as "私信". The domestic WeiBo, WeChat also keep in line with the habit. "Starred Message" is similar to "Star Mail (星标邮件)" feature in QQ Mail, so it is translated into "星标消息".

In Chinese "Realm" is literally translated as "域(domain)", "王国(Kingdom)" and is clearly inappropriate for Zulip. "Realm" in Zulip documents is also interpreted as "Organization". And "Realm" has some relation with "domain", e.g. Settings can be done in setting page to restrict user login coming from different "domain". Here "Realm" is translated as "社区(Community)" temporarily. Another choice is "社群(Communities)", which is borrowed from Google+. Recently "团队(Team)" is being taken into account for translation, because it seems more appropriate and many sentences can be translated much better and easier than "社区".

Realm直译为“领域”、“王国”，取直译显然不合适。Zulip中关于“Realm”的解释为“组织”或者“机构”（Organization）；另外，“Realm”还与“域”（domain）有所联系；例如，“设置页”中可以对“Realm”设置限制，仅允许有相同邮件域名的用户登录。因此这里选择译为“社区”，可能更接近本义。可选的翻译还有“社群”（Google+的习惯）。最近发现，“Realm”译为“团队”似乎更合适。尝试在Transifex中将“社区”替换为“团队”后，发现不少地方比以前通顺了许多。

There were several other optional translations, e.g. "群组(Group)", "主题(Subject)", and "栏目(Column)". The "频道(Channel)" is in use now, which is inspired by the chat "Channel" in the game Ingress. Since "Stream" can be "Created/Deleted" or "Subscribed/Unsubscribed", "Stream" can also initiate a "Topic" discussion, the meanings of "频道(Channel) are closer to "Stream" than others. Another translation is "讨论组", which is a term of QQ, in which it is a temporary chat group. However, "讨论组" has one more Chinese character than "频道(Channel)".

曾经使用的翻译有“群组”、“主题”、“版块”，还有“栏目”。现在选择的“频道”灵感来源于Ingress游戏中的聊天“Channel”。因为“Stream”可以“新建/删除（Create/Delete）”、也可以“订阅/退订（Subscribe/Unsubscribe）”，“Stream”内部还可以发起“话题（Topic）讨论。“Stream”还有一个备选方案，就是“讨论组”，字多一个，稍微有点啰嗦。主要参考自以前QQ的“讨论组”，在QQ中是一种临时的群组。

“Invite-Only Stream”是需要频道内部用户邀请才能订阅的频道；“Invite-Only Stream”具有非常好的私密性，用户在没有订阅时是不能感知这类频道的存在的。直译读起来有点拗口，因此选择译为“私有频道”。

|
||||||
|
* message table - **tabla de mensajes**
|
||||||
|
* muting a stream - **silenciar un canal**
|
||||||
|
* narrow - **filtrar**: there's no other word that's common enough in
|
||||||
|
Spanish for "to narrow" except for "filtrar". This is why we'll use
|
||||||
|
"filtrar" for "to narrow" and not for the english Zulip meaning
|
||||||
|
"filter", fo which we'll use "view" instead
|
||||||
|
* pinning - **fijar** (lit. to fixate)
|
||||||
|
* stream - **canal** The use of the literal Spanish word for stream
|

"Flujo" is very confusing and not the correct metaphor for Spanish

for thread "hilo" because, again, "hilo" is not a commonly
|
||||||
* view / filter - **vista**
|
technical term and would only serve to confuse users.
