drdhaval2785 commented 7 years ago

A Sanskrit-Latin dictionary. Short name BOP. In stardict-sanskrit/sa-head/bopp folder.

vvasuki commented 7 years ago

suggest staying away from acronyms - lets make it glossarium_sanscritum plz..

drdhaval2785 commented 7 years ago

Bopp is the author.

It is as intuitive as Apte.

It is as intuitive as Apte.

This is like comparing nandi hill to Mount meru :-D . Most of us have no clue who this bopp is or what he created - so an intelligent choice cannot be made as to whether it should be installed. Hence the case for renaming to glossarium_sanscritum

drdhaval2785 commented 7 years ago

Ok. If you insist, I will change it to long one...

Most of us know Bopp, and only some Apte :+1: So let's leave it as BOP. glossarium_sanscritum means nothing, if you do not know Latin.

I know the choice @drdhaval2785 will make, but continuing the discussion just for fun:

Most of us know Bopp, and only some Apte :+1:

"you" are far fewer in number (a few orders of magnitude fewer) than "us".

So let's leave it as BOP. glossarium_sanscritum means nothing, if you do not know Latin.

Not so - you immediately know that it sounds like latin and that it has something to do with sanskrit.

For consumer convenience, I've now grouped sa-head dictionaries based on the dominant language of the entries.
