problems | terminology

Whether you are creating new software in Maltese, translating product documentation, writing up your technical support web site, or simply explaining to your mother how to use email, there is one common problem facing technical Maltese: Terminology. Some people would rather not use Maltese. Some will borrow terms left and right without regard for consistency. Others will try to find words which make sense, but find it difficult without support. One thing is clear: work must be done to improve the consistency and quality of technical terms in Maltese. This is a very broad topic. Here are some links to get you started:
