I am quite sure it depends on the language. I.e. divelog and divespot<br class="gmail_msg" />
I would translate, but MOD, END and setpoint I would not, unless<br class="gmail_msg" />
someone who is familiar with Finnish diving vocabulary tells me what<br class="gmail_msg" />
they actually should be.<br class="gmail_msg" />
<br class="gmail_msg" />

<br class="gmail_msg" />
Having them as translatable strings gives the translator the freedom<br class="gmail_msg" />
to do as he please. I.e. I have just copied over some of the terms and<br class="gmail_msg" />
translated those that I have good terms in Finnish. I have to admit<br class="gmail_msg" />
that it was a problem before I realized that I can do just that.<br class="gmail_msg" />
Anyway, I am quite certain that in some languages it makes sense to<br class="gmail_msg" />
translate them and in some others it does not.<br class="gmail_msg" />

<br class="gmail_msg" />
Unfortunately I am not familiar at all with the Finnish diving<br class="gmail_msg" />
vocabulary at all, so I wouldn't trust myself too heavily in whatever<br class="gmail_msg" />
I stated above :D<br class="gmail_msg" />
