[GRASS translations] What's a project in GRASS?

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I think a location is more than a 'ubicacion' and definitely not a workspace.
Workspace in GRASS is used to save definitions about the current status of a
GRASS session in a .grc, .dm or .dmrc file. 

German translations often keep the name location or use sth. like:

- Project location (currently official in the startup gui)
- Project environment
- or simply call it a Project

Mapset usually is translated as Mapset, I think

hope this helps

  Otto
