Time to take action to organize FUEL (Frequently Used Entries for Localization)...
krishna
FUEL (Frequently Used Entries for Localization) aims at
solving the Problem of Inconsistency and standardization across the
platform. It will try to provide a standardized and consistent look of
computer for a language computer users.
We already have some entries which need to be evaluate for the
consistency. These terms are gathered across open source platforms
(Kde, Gnome, Openoffice, firefox etc.).
We can find more about FUEL at https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/
And for telugu project https://fedorahosted.org/fuel/wiki/fuel-telugu
The main agenda to do this is, we need to gather face to face
and sit for one or two days
to evaluate translations for these terms.
Thanks & Regards,

I actually faced issue with consistency when I translated django and
tuxpaint . Both are different projects and different people ,hence I
changed the language .
But after some time I felt it is best to be consistent in localisation
. No wonder when a single person has many inconsistencies what about
the translations in a team ?
and what if we have a environment like GNU/Linux where many teams collaborate .
Fuel is a nice solution we could adapt .

This is very important because while creating the FUEL entries its
best if all of agree on some words !
Example :
How many here like "File" to be దస్త్రం ?
Hence I am very much looking forward to this fuel meet on telugu .
