Hi Sella,
Your rigorous approach to language usage is a MUST if you plan to have your
documentation translated BUT this week, I read a great article by Geoffrey
Marnel. It appeared in our Australian (NSW) STC journal and pushed the
philosophy of maintaining good terminology discipline in order to support
readers. Unfortunately, the article isn't on the net. Write to me offline
if you would like more info about the article, or about the importance of
the strategy for translation.
