Hi all,
How did you "solve" the problems with some jargon/technical terms?

Words like file are easy (bestand) since they are commonly used, but repository is something else.

I see 2 options:
1. General Public License (Algemene Publieke Licentie)

2. Algemene Publieke Licentie (General Public License)

With 1 I translate it into Dutch once an then keep using the English or with 2 I give the English word in parentheses the first time they are mentioned and the keep using the Dutch word.

Maybe a 3rd option would be to not mention the English word at all?

As for names like "The Free Software Foundation" I assume the original name is used? Since names are generally not translated.

Patrick
