CamelCaps - Variabeln oder nicht? Übersetzen oder nicht? Uwekaji wa uzi: Elvira Schmid

Ich übersetze gerade eine Software (DELL Kundencenter) und oft kommen diese CamelCaps vor.
Ich weiß nicht ob diese zu übersetzen sind oder ob es sich um Variabeln handelt, die so bleiben müssen.
SRCloseSRsClosed2To3CalendarDays
SRCloseLAOSRsClosed
Gibt es hierfür eine Standard-Vorgehensweise? Danke | | | neilmac Uhispania Local time: 23:29 Kihispania hadi Kiingereza + ... Ask the client | Oct 1, 2011 |
I don't know about Deutsch as I only translate into English. Often these things are part of software strings, as in your example, so may (or may not) not need to be translated.
For example, your first string:
- SRCloseSRsClosed2To3CalendarDays
... translated back into Spanish would probably look something like this:
- SRCerrarSRsCerrado2A3DiasLaborales
You probably have to consult the client to be 100% sure. Don't feel embarrass... See more I don't know about Deutsch as I only translate into English. Often these things are part of software strings, as in your example, so may (or may not) not need to be translated.

According to my research this now replaces the_variables_written_this_way,
which normally did not have to be translated, right? | | | neilmac Uhispania Local time: 23:29 Kihispania hadi Kiingereza + ...

The strings I translate from Spanish to English usually contain both CamelScript and-underscored_words, so again I don't know. I only do this kind of work for one direct client and I always check with them for any doubts I have about these items.

In the EDI forms I work with, simple underscored text strings are usually translated, in which case I use the same capitalisation as the original, for example:
Direccion_comprador -> Buyer_address
Localidad_comprador -> Buyer_locality
Provincia_comprador -> Buyer_province
Codigo_Postal_comprador -> Buyer_Post_Code

I find that sometimes the client (who creates, writes and sells the software) isn't sure whether to translate some of these items either! So I always check with them just in case.
