Re: Names and Trademarks

Salam,

I think personally that they should be tranliterated (the first example that comes to my mind is 'Coca Cola' ;), it's transliterated, no ?). i don't think the GNOME, KDE or MDK people will mind if we tranliterate... We can ask them though ;)

Things that cant be transliterated (kind of difficult to do), are acrynomys like HTML or a language name like C++ (i can however imagine Java or BASIC or Fortran to be tranliterated !)

Youcef.

Salam Everyone,
For a while we were tranliterating some names and
trademarks in the KDE and GNOME PO files. Do u think
this is right 'form a *LEGAL* Point of view' I think
we should use English terms for things such as
'Linux', 'KDE', 'GNOME', 'Mandrake Linux', etc. as
they are trademarks. Is that right?

P.S.: Don't panic! I didn't use the english names in
my tranlation :)
