Different meanings in translations

[Lawondyss]

Hi Fabio,

I'm working on a translation into Czech and I ran into an annoyance. Occasionally, an English word is used in contexts for which Czech has different names. For example Keys are used in DDL for column with indexes/foreign keys (czech: klíče) and in Settings - Shortcuts for column with combination of keys on keyboard (czech: klávesy).

What should I do in such cases?

Hi Ladislav,

At the moment I would tell you to leave the term in English.
I realize that with some languages the strategy adopted for translation files does not work perfectly. You are not the first to point this out to me. @m1khal3v proposed an improvement in #573.
I am considering a refactor of the translation files with a grouping by contexts. For example instead of having word and message there will be general, database, settings, and message will contain only status messages.

If you checkout on develop branch you will find the refactored translation file structure.
Now there are groups related to contexts. If you find other problems in translating let me know so we can improve further.

That's so much better 👍

In translations I look where it is used and some are not used or only one variant. If you don't mind, I'd add comments to such translations to draw your attention to them.

Good idea, go ahead.

To help in the translation process, I created a script that checks a translation on missing terms or translations.
To run the script run from the console:

npm run translation:check [translation-code]
