Project details

(This part is the same as in my previous post. So, I will just quote it from my first report)

The project that I have taken charge of is FreeCAD. FreeCAD is a software or a tool created to support architects and engineers to build 3D model for specialized objects related to mostly Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering. It's a completely open and free software. FreeCAD is often used design engineering products particularly in Mechanical Engineering. In addition, it's also used in other sectors such as architecture and building construction. Likewise other modern 3D modern CAD software, it has a range of 2D tools to sketch out 2D shapes or extract specific design from 3D models to create 2D drawings. FreeCAD supports many different operating system and is running well into Windows, Linux/Unix and Mac OSX. As a translator of the project, I have a great chance to understand better its values and its complexity. I believe it is an incredibly useful tool for Vietnamese engineers and architects in their work. Sometimes, there are several difficult terms but my other team members and I confer to find the most appropriate translated words, resulting in a quality translation.

Contribution Specifications

Translation Overview:

This is my 12th translation for FreeCAD project. My motivation is that I desire to be able to help Vietnamese community access enormous knowledge from overseas in the role of a translator. I hope that my work will help Vietnamese citizens especially engineers and architects have a deep understanding of FreeCAD through reading the document. I also strongly believe in the concept of open source and in helping each other.

My work involves a translation of the project from English into Vietnamese. This time I continued dealing with the file OpenSCAD.ts and started turn to the file Part.ts. Thanks to the translation, I had a chance to broaden my horizons and especially understand more about the software as well as specialized knowledge related to FreeCAD's features. In addition, I have acquired more useful information about different operations and some tough technical terminologies in freeCAD software and how to use the program to design engineering objects effectively. However, this part has many terminologies that I've got familiar with through my previous translations, thus processing the strings faster than usual.

This time, during the translation work, I've researched on Mathematics knowledge which reminds what I learned from my secondary school. They're also related to specialized subjects in the curriculum for engineering major. For example:

Asymptote --> Đường tiệm cận
Tangent --> Đường tiếp tuyến
Binormal --> Phó pháp tuyến
principal axis --> Trục quán tính
Translate origin --> Tịnh tiến gốc tọa độ
osculating circle --> Đường tròn nội tiếp
Inertial CS (Coordinate system) --> Hệ tọa độ quán tính
Inertial coordinate system, constructed on principal axes of inertia and center of mass.
--> Hệ tọa độ quán tính, được xây dựng dựa trên các trục quán tính chính trung tâm.

Additionally, there were several spelling mistakes that I needed to be concerned. I had to check the source and the project manager's comments to make sure before changing the strings with correct spelling. For instance:

It should be optional instead of optinal as the project manager and other translators supposed in the screenshot above.

Incorrect: MapPathParametr --> Correct: MapPathParameter

Languages :

The project's source language is English and it was translated into Vietnamese (my mother tongue). In addition to collaborating on Open Source Projects on Crowdin, I also work as an interpreter for some projects in Vietnam. I also gained some experience of translation when doing scientific research at school. You can read more about my English ability through my application post
