When I set Firefox to Dutch, The links for Login and Registration get translated to Aanmelden and Registreren. In my mind, Aanmelden and Registreren both mean Registration. So now I am confsed, which of the links should I follow to login?In dit specifieke geval is het misschien handig om "aanmelden" als iets korts te zien (loop langs de receptie, zeg even gedag) en registratie als iets uitgebreiders (geef je naam en andere gegevens op). Iets wat misschien vaker voorkomt is dat je een taal pakt wat anderen ook gebruiken om makkelijker logboeken te kunnen lezen, of om makkelijker jouw foutmeldingen door te kunnen geven.
Google translate is funny :-)
In this particular case, it might be useful to " sign " as See something short (walking past the front desk , say hello ) and Registration as more elaborate managers (enter your name and other data ) . Something perhaps more common is that you pick a language which others Use for easier reading logs , or Easier to give your error reports .
Which also shows that having "translations" might give unpredictable results if the translation isn't up to par which may be difficult to check ;-) I don't think I'll ever use a Swedish translation of Wireshark texts. So I'd definitely would like to be able to "force" it to English should I ever use it on a computer with a Swedish language pack.
