To ask a question:
If you want to know how a term translates in a given language, you have two opttions:Option 1: Ask your question on one of the forums. once you know the answer, you may also wish to help the community a lot by creating a page for this term. See section Create an equivalent in another language.
Option 2: Go to the term's page in the source language (or create it if it does not already exists), and add a comment asking for the equivalent in the target language. Click on the "watch this page" icon (the eye on top of the page) to let the system know you want to be advised when this page is modified. The system will advise you when the record is modified, including when someone will answer your comment.
Note: If you cannot create a message in the forum or insert a comment, you are not member of the Editors group. If you think you should be par of that group, please contact the administrators
To add more equivalens for a term
If you know another translation for a term found, you can proceed this way:Simply modify the page for this term and add an alias in the section Synonyms and Acrnyms.
To add an alias, you must enter (alias(other_equivalent)), where où "alias" is the word "alias" as such, while "other_equivalent" is the new equivalent you want to add.
As an example, if you see a page "wiki engine" and want to add "wiki motor", you modify the page "wiki-engin", and add (alias(wiki motor)).
Créer une page ajouter un sens différent à un terme existant
Il arrive souvent qu'un même terme ait une signification qui varie selon le domaine ou le contexte. Mais dans l'outil terminologique que vous utilisez en ce moment, chaque mot ou expression sont associés à une page donnée, et cette page ne peut contenir qu'un seul sens.Pour palier à ce problème, il vous suffit d'ajouter quelques mots précédés d'un double tiret à la fin de votre terme, afin supprimer l'ambiguité.
Par exemple, si vous vouliez créer une page avec le terme « terminal » qui, dans le contexte des transports, désigne l'endroit où les passagers embarquent ou débarquent, vous taperiez « terminal » dans le formulaire Chercher un terme, et vous trouveriez que la page « terminal » existe déjà, mais dans le sens informatique désignant le noeud d'un réseau..
Vous pouvez palier à ce problème en créant un terme intitulé « terminal --transports», et y inscrire la définition du terme dans ce domaine. Il serait sage de faire passer le nom de la page de « terminal » à « terminal --informatique » (il vous suffit d'aller à la page « terminal » et de cliquer sur le bouton Renommer pour ce faire.
IMPORTANT: N'utilisez pas de parenthèses!!!
Évitez de créer un terme du genre « terminal (informatique) », car cela va créer des problèmes. En particulier, il sera impossible de créer un hyperlien vers ce terme.
