FUEL: An initiative in language standardization via collaboration

  2008-10-07 06:30:02
FUEL (Frequently Used Entries for Localization) aims to solve the problem of inconsistency and lack of standardization in computer software translation in a new and unique way. Initiated by Red Hat, the project is trying to give a better experience to end users of a localized desktop by resolving the issues of standardization and inconsistency. It's hard for a naive user to digest five different replacements for a simple word on a computer menu like File or Save. Getting used to inconsistent terminology can be a major hindrance in path of the popularity of localized desktop. Therefore, FUEL's aim is to come up with the most appropriate and acceptable translations by collaborating with active communities and localizers who are having standardization problems in translation.
