Project details

(This part is the same as in my previous post. So, I will just quote it from my first report)

The project that I have taken charge of is FreeCAD. FreeCAD is a software or a tool created to support architects and engineers to build 3D model for specialized objects related to mostly Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering. It's a completely open and free software. FreeCAD is often used design engineering products particularly in Mechanical Engineering. In addition, it's also used in other sectors such as architecture and building construction. Likewise other modern 3D modern CAD software, it has a range of 2D tools to sketch out 2D shapes or extract specific design from 3D models to create 2D drawings. FreeCAD supports many different operating system and is running well into Windows, Linux/Unix and Mac OSX. As a translator of the project, I have a great chance to understand better its values and its complexity. I believe it is an incredibly useful tool for Vietnamese engineers and architects in their work. Sometimes, there are several difficult terms but my other team members and I confer to find the most appropriate translated words, resulting in a quality translation.

Contribution Specifications

• Translation Overview:

This is my 14th translation for FreeCAD project. My motivation is that I desire to be able to help Vietnamese community access enormous knowledge from overseas in the role of a translator. I hope that my work will help Vietnamese citizens especially engineers and architects have a deep understanding of FreeCAD through reading the document. I also strongly believe in the concept of open source and in helping each other.

My work involves a translation of the project from English into Vietnamese. This time I continued dealing with the file Part.ts and started to turn to the file PartDesign.ts. Thanks to the translation, I had a chance to broaden my horizons and especially understand more about the software as well as specialized knowledge related to FreeCAD's features. In addition, I have acquired more useful information about different operations and some tough technical terminologies in freeCAD software and how to use the program to design engineering objects effectively. However, this part has many terminologies that I've got familiar with through my previous translations, thus processing the strings faster than usual.

In the file PartDesign.ts, as you can probably guess through its name, it's all about drawing tools and how to design part objects and geometry features related to the work. During the translating time for this part, I got to learn something new which I would like to share with you now. These words should not be understood with the ordinary meanings, instead, we better figure out what they mean especially in engineering field.

For example:

• Datum is the text of the dimension constraints (vertical, horizontal, etc)

• A surface is ruled if through every point of the surface there is a straight line that lies on the surface.

• The Facemaker is a FreeCAD algorithm that produces faces from closed edge loops. When there is more than one loop, there are different ways to create faces from them. This one is named "bull's eye" because it looks like a target (concentric series of filled faces).
  Source As a consequence, Part MakeFace is now capable of making faces with holes with islands, such as bull's-eye pattern.

• A chamfer is a transitional edge between two faces of an object. A form of bevel, it is created at 45° angle to two adjoining right-angled faces. A lark's tongue is a chamfer which ends short of a piece in a gradual upward curve, leaving the balance as a right angle. (Source: wikipedia.org)
  

  

• Languages :

The project's source language is English and it was translated into Vietnamese (my mother tongue). In addition to collaborating on Open Source Projects on Crowdin, I also work as an interpreter for some projects in Vietnam. I also gained some experience of translation when doing scientific research at school. You can read more about my English ability through my application post

• Word Count:

Part 14 : 1041 translated words ( 1092 words in total, 51 untranslated words)

(All the translated words were approved by Vietnamese Language Moderator @carlpei)
