Naming files

by Shilpa Sharma

All the English files that are sent to volunteers are named in a specific way.

For example: org-acte

Here org is the module name and acte is the individual document file name.

  • When you create a new file in your language it is very helpful to keep the naming convention consistent. We prefer that we all follow the same rules for the language files

For example, if the English file org-acte is translated to Hindi, it will be called org-achi

  1. Here org (the first three letters) are the module name
  2. Followed by “-“
  3. Followed by ac (first two letters of the individual file name)
  4. Followed by ‘hi’ (first two letters for your language, if it is Hindi)

Another example: sta-awr (in English) becomes sta-awhi (in Hindi)

When there are two letters in the language code, and there is a CH in the file name, we delete the H.

Be careful of one and two letter codes, if the file name is BOA for example, the Russian would be BOAR and the Arabic would be BOAR, so accommodation must be made. That is why we have both AR and RA for Arabic.

If we were starting over again, we would use all two letter language codes
