info from Maltz: mode, theme
by De'vID 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

I still don't understand why, but several people have asked for {boQwI'} to have a {DIvI' tu'qom}. --- begin quote --- For “mode,” use {lo’} “use” (noun). “Night mode” would be {ram lo’} “night use, night usage.” “Search mode” could be {SammeH lo’}. ({nejmeH lo’} also works; depends on how confident you are in your search engine apparently.) “Lesson mode” could be {ghojmeH mIw lo’}. For “theme,” {tu’qom} “appearance, configuration” should work. --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: preferences
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

This is in references to the "preferences" or "settings" page found in software. --- begin quote --- Maltz thought that {SeHlaw} could work if it’s referring to the whole page, not individual settings. An individual “option” or “preference” is {DuH}. A “category” is {buv} “classification.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: scoring
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

--- begin quote --- The traditional/old Klingon way of keeping score involves cutting oneself ({pe’’egh}), and this is the term still in use. A “tally” or “(total) score” follows the same tradition. They say {mIvwa’mey}, literally “scars” (even though, in traditional scorekeeping, the cuts turn to scabs and eventually go away). This term is also used for “census” or “headcount.” “Out of” is awkward. {loSlogh pe’’egh; vaghlogh nID} “cut oneself four times; tried five times.” This is the construction even if the person stopped after four and didn’t really attempt the fifth. Maltz wasn’t sure how “statistics” would be distinguished from “tally” in this context, but maybe {mIvwa’mey poj} “tally analysis” or {mI’ poj} “number analysis” would work. --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: lesson, tutorial
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

--- begin quote --- A “lesson” (like in a textbook -- Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc.) is {ghojmeH mIw}. (This is not “lesson” as in “Let this be a lesson to you!” That’s {ghuH}.) A “tutorial” could be {X ghojmeH mIwmey} “X lessons” (where X is the thing the tutorial is about – algebra, Roman history, a software program, whatever). --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: some software terminology
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

Bugs: --- begin quote --- A “bug” is a {Qagh} (not a {ghew}). --- end quote --- Versions: --- begin quote --- Depending on how it’s used, “version” could be, as you suggest, {nIqHom mI’} or else {qa’meH mI’} “replacement number.” {nIqHom mI’} might be limited to major updates (2.0 to 3.0) and {qa’meH mI’} for less drastic ones (2.0 to 2.1). --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz on: accounts and signing up
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

For signing up, and logging in and out of an account: --- begin quote --- For the Netflix stuff connected with “Discovery,” the word {mab} “agreement, treaty, contract” was used for “account,” so I’d stick with that. It follows that “register for” or “sign up for” (an account) would be {qI’} “sign [a treaty].” So “register for an account” is {mab qI’}. Maltz says “sign/log in” is {ngaQHa’moH} (and “sign out” is {ngaQmoH}). People say {mab ngaQmoH} and so on, but this is a special formation, special argot, frozen form. Maltz said he thinks this may have been shortened from an earlier way to say it, something like {mab Hung lojmIt ngaQmoH}. To “sign up” for an event is something else. That would be {jeS ’e’ Sap} “volunteer to participate” (even if the signing up isn’t all that voluntary). You’d say the same thing for signing up for something in advance and for deciding on the spot to participate in an event that’s ongoing or about to start. --- end quote --- For an "[account, etc.] already exists" message: --- begin quote --- For an account, you can use the account terminology: {mab(vam) qI’lu’ta’}. --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz on: filtering, sources
by De'vID 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

--- begin quote --- To “filter” (in this sense) is {yughmoH} “include (that is, cause to be included).” So {X neH yughmoH} “filter for X only, include X only.” Neither {Hal} nor {mung} would be “source” in the literary sense (which I take to mean where a particular entry in boQwI’ comes from). This would be {nompuq} “authority, evidence, attestation, reference, citation.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID
