Comment on What’s a glossary term? by Philippe

Do you need something like this :

For now it’s a quick glossary just based on the frequency, I plan to use more heuristic rules and similarity in the near future.

Perhaps Caspy is right, you could use Antconc or a similar tool and substract articles, prepositions and any list of bad words you can make up along the way. However the process will still be highly manual, and sometimes frequency is not the best filter: some key terms appear just a few times as compared to many other words like open, file or whatever. I think there’s been people working on this for years and there still is no solution but to hire a full-time terminologist yey :D

Seems like indexing everything and then getting a count for frequency for each occurrence would be the place to start…or I’m not fully understanding the concept…

hi Axel:

a good start would be a compilation of single-word nouns and verbs (actually and/or – like in the case of “File”). That should carry it a long way.

Check such a compilate by Slovenian Ubuntu community here:
https://wiki.lugos.si/slovenjenje:pojmovnik

The most appropriate container for this kind of information would be the TMX format, allowing a single-file, multilingual solution.

Regards

If you’re asking about l10n-stage-sj, no, not yet.

If your question is about something else, can you elaborate?

@Neil: The configuration on one side can be completely different from the one on the other. Branch names, preferred transports, repository packing options, and hooks will be very different between a hosting site and the average developer repository.
Git will not guess at how the remote side is configured, and is perfectly correct to ask you to run the command yourself.

You may be more comfortable with a git wrapper that adds some extra tutorial-style documentation, like eg: http://people.gnome.org/~newren/eg/

Here, eg makes the correct guess and asks you to use pull instead. It also formats the message better, without wasting so much space prefixing every line. If this guess is reliable enough you could suggest it for git.git.

Why is git asymmetrical, i.e. why isn’t pulling from one end the same as pushing from the other?
