> "text_correction_by_editor" might convey a lot more info then "edit" In the talk I explain that this is a real example, from software for a publishing company in the Netherlands. The 'editor' is the person who edits the text. The problem was that the subject matter experts used two different Dutch words for two different kinds of text correction, depending on whether the original author or the editor made the correction. This example is about the tradeoff between making the difference explicit (text_correction_by_author vs text_correction_by_editor), or agreeing on consistent translations for the two Dutch words (e.g. 'edit' and 'revision'). |
