Welcome to the glossary

This page contains a list of glossary for use in KDE Thai localization and translation. Please bear in mind that we also uses this as a sort of dictionary. Originally, we kept it in this wiki, but the wiki was meant to be for personal documentation. This page will also contains other references from other sources like Royal Society of Thailand, Microsoft Terminology and others.

Also, no VisualEditor... might be a pain in the butt to edit those tables...

Tables and formatting

All tables must be formatted like this:


English	Part of Speech	Definitions/Purpose	Thai translations	Notes

Can be Thai or in English	The Thai translated version of that word(s). Italicize for unsure/candidate and bold for preferred words	Additional notes, for references or comments

For example, for the word "Laptop"


English	Part of Speech	Definitions/Purpose	Thai translations	Notes
Laptop	noun	A portable computer that sits on top of your lap in a clamshell form factor with built-in input devices.	แล็ปท็อป, โน๊ตบุ๊ก	ORST-T: แล็ปท็อป User:Disketteguy have never seen any Thai people use the word "laptop" (แล็ปท็อป) to refer to a portable computer. They thought "notebook" (โน๊ตบุ๊ก) overriding the word "laptop" to be better.
