Translation of project names

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

I was a little bit surprised, when I saw this weeks german translation of the DWN. Hey, the guys really translated even our project name "Eyecatcher" to "Blickfang Projekt". Alex and I were not very amused about that. I think project names are like proper names, they should not been translated. Or do you want OpenOffice.org to be translated to "OffenesBüro.org"?

For those, who didn't know yet, Alex and I started a project for generating a presentation, which can be used on fairs and exebitions to represent Debian. It's name is "Eyecatcher". Don't expect too much, we just started two days ago...
