With reference to my earlier mail, I have one more query! (may be my
collegues in Germany will be able to help me)
As i am tranlsating the key terminologies to german 2 queries come up:
1. what should be the criteria to decide which terminologies to be retained
in english?(e.g. DataOwner should be retained as same or should be converted
to German)
2. If, We germanize the english terminologies, will all the terms take
article "Das"?(e.g. Das DataOwner)
How to decide the article?(As i spoke to 2 native german collegues"there is
no fixed rule as such". what needs to be done in this case? )
Regards,
Beena

Hi All
I have written a manual and help for Industrial automation application. This
application supports the multiplelanguages. Now I need to translate the key
terminologies to germany(time being).
But my key board doesn't support special alphabets of german/ french, Is
there any software(free downloads) available which let me work on multiple
languages, without affecting default language setting (english) of computer?
Reagards,
Beena
