Standardization of Translation
I am writing this w.r.t Tamil translation. This may apply to other
languages too. For example, I am translation a word "Bar" into Tamil. If I
refer any English to Tamil dictionary I will get 5 words, which closely
mean bar. I may be choosing one, and another translator may chose another.
I am the only translator for Tamil. Today I will chose one translation, and
after few days , I will chose another.
If someone can give a list of often repeated words, then a table can be
formed with translated words. Whenever that word appears to be translated,
that table can be referred.
With Warm Regards

It applies to all languages and what you propose is called a "glossary"
facility. We are discussing it on the dev list. Jan is planning to
implement it in Pootle, starting with a glossary provided by Claudio for
Brazilian Portuguese. Then we can probably extend it to other languages too.
