No Strong Name!

Sometimes it is no good idea to translate error messages automatically! Within this category I’ve seen the following message building a large project solution: „No space left of device“ means „Kein Weltraum links des Geräts“ in German 🙂

    In this case the translation for „Strong Name“ is correct. Since it refers to a real „Strong Name“ meaning, that there are conventions that make a name to a „Strong Name“. And there is no suitable translation for this in German, and I think „Starker Name“ is ok.

    That’s completely right and I know the essential function of a strong name within namespaces for global unique assembly deployment. Nevertheless, strong name refers to a proper name, thus it should be kept in its original language. That’s a matter of fact for too much terms in the IT sector. However, it is never a good idea to translate error messages automatically without any human interpretation. Additionally, it is not a good idea to use isolated German framework version within an English VS version 🙂
