hytga Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 they just want a complete list of computer terms that will be used in windows. Like when you go to "start>run"-(the armeinan equalente of these words). I doubht they really need to code it specifically for the armenian version.

Sip Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Do you mean a team to change the words? I don't see the point ... what's wrong with English? I would think creating an Armenian thesaurus, electronic dictionary, grammar correction, optical character recognition, voice recognition, or translation software is much more fruitfull than translating English words and phrases in the user interface... just my .02 though.

A worthwhile investment of time should be spent on something with high potential for reuse. Edited July 26, 2005 by armjan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
