Hi Ivan,

I'm facing the exact same problem for the French translation. What are the
words that can be translated and what are the ones that, if translated, will
create confusion ?
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 :-/

So after a long discussion on linuxMAO.org (French Linux Music Ressource),
we finally decided that :
- effects and parameters (delay, dry/wet, ...) should not be translated to
avoid further confusion
- accoustic terms (bass, treble, ...) even though used by the French
musicians will be translated according to the accoustic theory
- terms that have a generaly accepted translation and not only used in music
software (plugin, ports, bus, client for example) will be translated
- jack related terms will be translated according to the existing
translation of course
- others will be translated

Took us quite some time to agree on that !

Hope it helps !!!
