Translate secondary affiliation fields
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Please provide Japanese translation for the following strings:
"Pronouns"
"Please type in your pronouns if yours are not listed"
"Secondary Role"
"Academic institutions, volunteer positions, or second jobs"
"(Secondary) Organization"
It's okay to provide these as a comment and then someone else can make the code change. See screenshot below for context, or visit: https://speakher.jp/nominate-speaker
(Google / Machine translation unacceptable for this task, please only work on this if you are fluent.)
Here's a screenshot of the untranslated parts of the form:
My brief translation is like these.
"Pronouns"
→ 第一人称
"she/her"
→彼女
"they/their"
→彼ら
"Please type in your pronouns if yours are not listed"
→ 適切な第一人称がない場合は、入力してください。
"Secondary Role"
→第二の職業の職名 / サブポジション
"Academic institutions, volunteer positions, or second jobs"
→学術組織、ボランティア、副業など
"(Secondary) Organization"
→第二の所属組織、副業など
If you use the word "the main position ", it's possible to use "the substitute position".
- ポジション
- サブポジション
How about these?

We don't have a writing "pronouns" culture. Then I added some reason which understandable.
Thanks for the comments, @Kimmym6a and @shokokb. Kimmy-san, would it be possible to share your suggested translations as text in addition to the photo? Sometimes I have to look up individual kanji to read.
Just looking at this again, we should ask someone in the LGBT community for assistance translating the pronouns section. It is a new cultural development, and people can feel very sensitive about their gender identity. A direct translation from "she/her" to 彼女 might not capture the nuance of how a person wishes to be described. I know some people to ask.
Feel free to propose translations for fields outside the pronouns section! Thanks
Hi @ann-kilzer , Ann-san sorry for the late feedback.

Sure! Just in time, I wrote all of them down below.
