Style Guide

Keep things short

Most of the text is presented in dialog boxes on phones so keeping translations short is preferable to being verbose.

Acronymns, initialisms, and common abbreviations are all welcome so long as they would be recognized by beginners in electronics.

Prefer spaces over hyphenations

If compound words can either be hyphenated or combined with space, prefer space. This is to help the rendering engine layout text properly.

Use Title Casing

Most of the words are presented at title of things that can be modified. In English, this means most words get capitalized. Please use the right form of titling for the language.

Weird Words

  • AM is short for "Amplitude Modulation"
  • Autowire is short for "keep components connected during movement by automatically re-routing wires"
  • Current is electrical current

Machine Auto-translation

The script mtranslate.fsx is used to automatically translate missing words and was used to build the initial translations.

It can be run with the following command:

fsharpi --lib:$HOME/.nuget/packages/newtonsoft.json/11.0.2/lib/net45 --exec mtranslate.fsx
