[Bf-translations-dev] Material and Texture slot translation

Oh! I almost lost this one.
I'm not in accordance to the RGB decision. When doing this, you are killing UI usability, and this is why:
In production, it is far more well known the RGB expression to designate a global and conventional color
space used by millions in multiple workflows relating various softwares, like GIMP, Inkscape, Photoshop,
Nuke, 3DMax, Maya, etc. They ALL use the RGB to refer to this color space, so, where the didactical
thing is? It is counterproductive and confusing. When I first saw this in the Blender's UI got extremely
confused, and then I realized I was using the Spanish UI. This was a bad choice. Every designer and artist
I meet says that spanish translation sucks in such things. And it is just about that: the lack of CG
conventionality. I not meaning we should use every term untranslated, using anglicisms, but, at least, they
should be clean an understandable, not for a minority, but for the majority of the population. Imagine if we
translate convencional color spaces like sRGB or AdobeRGB. They are extremely conventional and
should not be changed.
Regards.

Asunto: Re: [Bf-translations-dev] Material and Texture slot translation
- Frame: no problem. just saying what one sees from this side of things... :) let´s wait then.
- R/G/B: Yes, I know, I´ve faced this dilema earlier in the translation process. At first I left them untranslated, but later on I decided it was logic (and understandable and more didactical too) to have them translated, and is one thing less to explain when I am teaching Blender to teenagers ("why RGB and not RVA") ;) Anyway, the strings R, G and B (and also A from alpha) are used in every other place correctly, but for this place. Just pointing out that...
- Clipping Options: great!
- Vector Curves: great!
thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

>*Frame: Adding a context here is the thing to do, but it would
involve too much changes to do it this close to release. Actually,
I’d even wait for Lukas' new pynodes to be in trunk first! So we’ll
have to live with this for now. :)
>*R/G/B letters: those "single" letters are currently never
translated... Not sure what to do here (I guess in spanish it would
be R/V/A, in french is should be R/V/B, etc.), whether it’s better
to keep the CG standard rgb, or to adapt it to every language?

In Spanish (and possibly other languages too, the two concepts use very different words to describe them, i.e. fotograma (for time related), and marco (for picture frame).
