Translation of translator #10

Closed espensj closed 8 years ago

espensj commented 8 years ago

I think we should go with a translation of the word "translator", otherwise it will break with the flow, and it looks awkward with an English word on the page. It's not like we're translating "Facebook" into Ansiktsbok". (Although some people actually call it "Fjesboka"! :)

Makes sense.

In terms of capitalization, I know book titles etc generally only capitalize the first word in Norwegian, whereas newspapers and companies usually have each word of their name capitalized.

What about in this case? Should "oversetter" be capitalized or not? It looks a bit odd to me in lowercase but I'm not sure what the convention would be.

Jeg viste faktisk ikke at aviser og bedrifter bruker store bokstaver! Titler og bøker bruker ikke det. Så liten bokstav. Se her: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jens_Bj%C3%B8rneboe#Bibliografi
