Here are some ideas to get the ball rolling.
I have taken jensclas's offer of help and we will use this board to post updates.
Dave if you caould please add jensclas to the team members, that would be great, thanks.
Here is a starting outline...
I am not used to working in cyberspace so am actually wondering what the best way to collaborate would be..posting here is a good base but if there are screenshots and/or looooong messages?? And versioning of course. Any help on that would be appreicated.
Cheers

TASK:Action Item#4
Define which areas require 'standard' terms. UI buttons - 'Submit' c.f. 'Send' for example. Next would be translation of these.
Members: daddystu, Japan, jensclas, Australia
**************
TERMS for this ActionItem itself
ADMIN CONTROL PANEL>the administration area where all modules can be administered, the XOOPS admin area
MODULE ICON > the icon/graphic, usually yellow, which represents the module in the admin control panel area
MODULE ADMIN PAGE> each module has one or more admin pages. Access to these pages is by clicking on the module icon in the admin control panel or by clicking on one of the menu items when mousing over one of these module icons.
XOOPS USER INTERFACE>any non-admin area of XOOPS and/or its modules.

ACTION ITEM ROADMAP
1:Pinpoint the elements.
2:Create a list of English language that could be used for these elements.
3:Test and remake the list by comparison with several modules.
4:Translate the list.
*********Start with 1***
1.Pinpoint the elements that are generic to any XOOPS module (or very common - shared among many modules).
1.1:XOOPS CORE TERMINOLOGY
1.2:ADMINISTRATION USER INTERFACE (ADMIN UI)
1.3:USER INTERFACE (UI)
**********************
1.1:XOOPS CORE TERMINOLOGY
A module developer may provide instructions and/or the functionality of their module may refer to core parts of Xoops. The terms used must match that of the XOOPS devs.
Example, the administration Control Panel. Blocks...etc.
There should be a glossary in the XOOPS docs for this, so we should not have to do anything here, it is included for completeness.??? DO WE NEED THIS?
1.2:ADMINISTRATION USER INTERFACE (ADMIN UI)
1.2.1 control panel>> the names of the different module admin pages.
Looking at some modules, grabbing the names of 'generic' terms, we can start to make a list such as...
Preferences
Permissions (Group's permissions|Permissions|Submit/Approve Permissions|Permission Settings)
Config
Settings
1.2.2 module admin pages >> buttons, labels found on individual pages...
commiting button label
Go!
Submit
Send
jenny - this is where I think we should start, how about we both look over some modules and produce a list each, compare them and then check for the generic terms??
