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 21th 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 to Vietnamese. This time I continued dealing with the file Ship.ts and started to turn to the file sketcher. Thanks to the translation, I had a chance to broaden my horizons and especially gain a deeper understanding of 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 and draw 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.

However, in this part, there are terminologies which seemed to be quite strange to me when translating them into Vietnamese. That's why I had to browse the internet to obtain some information about them. Therefore, there is something new I've leanred, so that I would like to share with you now.

Here are some examples:

Before the development of photographic copiers, a carbon copy (bản sao bằng giấy than)—not to be confused with the carbon print family of photographic reproduction processes—was the under-copy of a typed or written document placed over carbon paper and the under-copy sheet itself.(Source)

Apoapsis (điểm xa tâm nhất trong quỹ đạo) and periapsis (điểm gần tâm nhất trong quỹ đạo) are the generic terms for describing the farthest and closest points of an orbit to the body being orbited. Ge comes from the Greek for Earth, so apogee and perigee are indeed simply other names for the apoapsis and periapsis of an item orbiting the Earth.

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.
Word Count:

Part 21 : 1046 translated words ( 1088 words in total, 42 untranslated words)
