# 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 translations
|
|
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.
