Hi Jorge,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for spreading the news!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The current development site with loaded terms is located here:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://osgeodev.geolexica.org" class="">https://osgeodev.geolexica.org</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I believe the group is still waiting for some confirmation on terminology across OSGeo. As you can see on the site, a number of conflicting definitions exist and the group would need some effort to discuss and attempt to settle these — since they
are used across different OSGeo projects.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Geolexica has also been working with ISO/TC 211 on their latest efforts in translating the 5th edition of the TC 211 Multi-Lingual Glossary of Terms (MLGT). There is now have a desktop application for managing translations through change requests,
all based off a git repository on GitHub:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I agree that more love is needed to the lexicon group to move things ahead!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Kind regards,</div>
<div class="">Ron</div>

<div class="">Hi Ian, hi all,<br class="">
<br class="">
There are people trying to run an OSGeo "Interest group" on<br class="">
"Terminology", to be transversal to all OSGeo projects.<br class="">
<br class="">
They created a proof of concept, called "geolexica", available at:<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="https://osgeo.geolexica.org/concepts/" class="">https://osgeo.geolexica.org/concepts/</a><br class="">
<br class="">
Sources on: https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org<br class="">
<br class="">
It would be awesome if we were able to fill the translation for the<br class="">
different languages associated with the English concept, right on the<br class="">
origin.<br class="">
<br class="">
As far I as know (I'm cc to lexica group), this project needs some<br class="">
additional "love" to go on.<br class="">
<br class="">
Maybe Cameron (in cc) or someone else can make an update on the lexicon<br class="">
activities/plans.<br class="">
<br class="">
Regards,<br class="">
<br class="">
Jorge<br class="">

Dear developers:<br class="">
<br class="">
As a former translator of the Danish version of QGIS I have a few -<br class="">
very personal, perhaps a bit caustic - comments:<br class="">
<br class="">
* Create a group or list of highly technical GIS related terms<br class="">
that is *not* to be translated. There is a lot of GIS terms that<br class="">
is English in origin, but haven't a well defined local<br class="">
translation. (With some hilarious results if they are<br class="">
translated). Not all translators is well versed in every aspect<br class="">
of GIS. <br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Is this something that OSGEO can help to oversee and/or maintain as I<br class="">
suspect that this list would be useful across many projects.<br class="">
