Question to all translators: need to translate boolean 'OR'?
Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:54 am
Hi,
In MM 3.1, one of the changes that came with the addition of full-text search is that it's now possible to search for e.g. 'Rock OR Alternative' (previous to 3.1 Rock;Alternative could be entered into the search bar).
In bug http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5104 , we discuss the need to allow users to use the localized version of 'OR', however, when I checked out google.de and google.fr, I found that Google only allows the use of 'OR' rather than translated equivalents.
Is there really a need to allow the user to use a localized version of 'OR' in the searchbar?
Thx for your feedback.
