</div>Can you give us some tips about translation? I will glad to help about<br>
italian language, if no other wants.<br>
But I'm little confused about which words translate and wich not. For<br>
example: for the knob description (example GAIN, LEVEL, ...) I think<br>
english is well (hardware rig also use it)<br>

<div>Basically, musicians are used with terms like the ones you list but aslo with effect names (delay, overdrive, etc) and some of them are just not translatable in French :-/</div><div><br></div><div>So after a long discussion on linuxMAO.org (French Linux Music Ressource), we finally decided that :</div>
<div>- effects and parameters (delay, dry/wet, ...) should not be translated to avoid further confusion</div><div>- accoustic terms (bass, treble, ...) even though used by the French musicians will be translated according to the accoustic theory</div>
<div>- terms that have a generaly accepted translation and not only used in music software (plugin, ports, bus, client for example) will be translated</div><div>- jack related terms will be translated according to the existing translation of course</div>
<div>- others will be translated</div><div> </div><div>Took us quite some time to agree on that !</div><div><br></div><div>Hope it helps !!!</div><div>jy</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
