IMO technical terms should stay untouched and I expect people to incorporate those easily into their own language. As a result the web management interface would keep english terms for elements that derive from the XML schema or other API and provide localized description and help texts for anything else.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What are you thoughts on this?</div><div><br></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
