Rules for translations
1 Translate by sense, not literal.
2 Words have to be in their proper sub-category. Sentences too. Except
if the category name would then be a synonym of the only term in
that category.
3 Complete sentences will have punctuation and start with capital
letters. Words will have no punctuation (even if they can stand by
themselves).
4 Category names should be useful by themselfs, too.
5 When multiple terms are available, the most simple ones should be
used. (Example: Car instead of Automobile).
6 Plural is only used when it is the only practical or possible form
(a trouser is not English, it always is a pair of trousers. A sock
is correct, but probably not very useful).
7 Use a reasonably polite form by default. If there are 2 politeness
levels, use the polite one, if there are more, choose a reasonably
polite one. When a more colloquial form is used normally, use it.
