OPTIONS is indeed supposed to be left in english. Moving to ON_QA.

That's not true.  Leaving it untranslated is left to the discretion of the translator.
The reason this bug was opened is because in this lang=ta_IN, the translation of OPTIONS/Options/options has been inconsistent.  All three of these words refer to the same thing, yet all three of them are not being translated.  Is this a confusing message to a native ta_IN speaking user.


Shantha,
You said "OPTIONS" kept in English purposefully. Pls lte me know still if it needs to be translated.

The reason why I believe you should translate the word "OPTIONS" is because you have translated the word "Options" and "options" when it refers to the same thing.

For example in English....

[root@jsefler-5 ~]# subscription-manager clean --help
Usage: subscription-manager clean [OPTIONS]

Remove all local system and subscription data without affecting the server

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

^^^^^^^  In this English translation, "OPTIONS" and "options" are used to refer to the same list of choices.


Now in ta_IN....
[root@jsefler-5 ~]# LANG=ta_IN.utf8 subscription-manager clean --help
பயன்பாடு: subscription-manager clean [OPTIONS]

சேவையகத்தைப் பாதிக்காமல், அக
கணினிகள் மற்றும் சந்தா தரவு
அனைத்தையும் நீக்கவும்

விருப்பங்கள்:
  -h, --help  இந்த உதவி செய்தியை
              காட்டி வெளியேறு

^^^^^^  Notice that you did not translate "OPTIONS", but you did translate விருப்பங்கள்


Other languages are translating it; for example...

[root@jsefler-5 ~]# LANG=as_IN.utf8 subscription-manager clean --help
ব্যৱহাৰ: subscription-manager clean [বিকল্পসমূহ]

চাৰ্ভাৰক প্ৰভাৱ নেপেলাই
স্থানীয় চিস্টেম আৰু
স্বাক্ষৰণ তথ্য আতৰাওক

বিকল্পসমূহ:
  -h, --help  এই সহায় বাৰ্তা দেখুৱাওক
              আৰু প্ৰস্থান কৰক

 
Moving back to NEW / NEEDINFO from shkumar

Usually the text with all caps are kept in English as they must be variables. To maintain consistency all the occurrences of 'options', 'option', 'module', 'module-name' have been translated within SM 1.8.x

https://translate.zanata.org/zanata/iteration/view/subscription-manager/1.8.X?cid=59960



So fixed for Ta-In.

- Thanks
Shantha

Ahhh. Now I understand why you left the all capitalized words untranslated.  For our subscription-manager project, this is not the case.  It is acceptable to translate the all capitalized words.

I agree that words referring to a variable, package name, configuration parameter, and so on should not be translated.  It is not obvious to the translator what these words are because they will not always be capitalized, camelCase, hyphenated, or use underscores.  For these translations, I've tried to write some automated tests to catch them individually.

Thank you Shantha for your cooperation.


It is also okay to translate CERT_FILE and MANIFEST_FILE.  These are not variables.  They refer to a file path that the user must supply on the command line.

There's also another reason why command line parameters are not translated for Indic languages, is because the text rendering for Indic languages is broken over the console or terminal.
