Dutch or English object names?

Open johanvdw opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

For groundwater we have now used an English term for our object: DovGroundwater.

I'm not sure we should translate things - it often leads to errors (eg filter instead of screen). Most fields in xml are also in Dutch (meetnet, ...) so I think it is better to stick to Dutch.

My proposal: if we are using our own standards we stick to Dutch. If we can use international standards (waterml, inspire, ...) we can use those versions.

Could we provide a glossary dutch-english for the different names of the DOV standard and put this in the contributing.md information to make sure all developments stick to the proper english terminology? I think it is important to support an international audience (e.g. english speaking phd students).
