Dear italian users,
do you have any good idea about how to translate "spanner"?
I had this doubt in the past, see end of this page:
http://lists.linux.it/pipermail/tp/2011-February/021547.html
stepping back for a bit: why do you want to translate this at all? It
is a lilypond specific term, so whatever word you pick , you have to
explain it to the user anyway. You might as well leave it in its
original state and stop agonizing over it.
I'm about to send the updated po file to the translationproject robot.
I've not translated yet the documentation parts where spanners are
explained. So if an italian user sees an output message about
"estensore", he won't understand what it is.
So I'll leave it untranslated until I've translated the relevant parts
of NR and the term has entered in the italian user's vocabulary.
In general, a translator should try to translate as much as possible.
At least this is what I've learned from other italian translators.
I think it's also a kind of cultural matter: in North Europe you are
more used to english words and language, while in Italy, France and
Spain it's different (for example, we overdub any foreign movie).
