When localizing an application, maintain consistent conventions for technical terms while respecting language-specific rules:
- For acronyms, follow the target language’s capitalization conventions:
- In English: Use “Dag” with capitalized first letter only (not “DAG”)
- In Spanish: Use full capitalization for acronyms (“DAG”) as per RAE guidelines
- For technical terms, prioritize what’s familiar to developers in that language:
- Keep universally recognized technical terms in English when they’re commonly used by developers in the target language (e.g., “heartbeat”, “token”, “backend”)
- Use localized versions when they’re more recognized by developers in that language (e.g., “커넥션” instead of “연결” for “connections” in Korean)
- Be consistent within each language across the entire application:
// English "dag_one": "Dag", "dagRun_one": "Dag Run", // Spanish "dag_one": "DAG", "dagRun_one": "Ejecución del DAG"
This approach ensures that the UI remains intuitive for developers working in different languages while respecting established conventions in each target language.
