German Translation for Cross Cutting Concerns #656

Open alxlo opened 2 days ago

alxlo commented 2 days ago

Pull request https://github.com/isaqb-org/curriculum-foundation/pull/649 brought to light (again) that we have some trouble to agree on a good German translation for the term Cross Cutting Concerns as used in LZ 03-10 and LZ 04-07.

In short: "Querschnittsthemen" is in @alxlo 's opinion overly broad and general. The translation I'm used to and that is regularly used in scientific literature is "Querschnittsbelange".

Thema" refers to a general topic or subject, while "concern" in software architecture implies a specific area of interest or responsibility within the system. "Belang" more accurately captures this sense of importance and relevance.

German is not my mother tongue, but "Querschnittsbelange" sounds really strange for me.

Are there any references to that term in the literature? "Querschnittsthemen" do exist in the literature.

I will definitely let the Germans decide this one. :-)

Cross-Cutting Concern (CCC) ist ein Begriff der Informatik, der im Kontext des Teile-und-Herrsche-Prinzips so genannte querschnittliche Belange einer Software bezeichnet,...

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22querschnittliche+Belange%22 and https://www.google.com/search?q=querschnittsbelang&nfpr=1&sa=X&dpr=1.2 provide quite a large amount of suitable hits.

We also used that term already in our glossary https://github.com/isaqb-org/glossary/blob/main/docs/1-terms/C/term-cross-cutting-concern.adoc (and as far as I interpret the commit history, I didn't meddle with this in the more recent past.)

I'm not a huge fan of that term as it is not that common but nevertheless way better than "Thema" IMHO https://www.dwds.de/wb/Belang

@alxlo:

  1. Adding a reference to "leo" is definitely not valid because the term is taken out of context
  2. I was; however, surprised at how many references there are from your google search etc. I'm fine either way.

Yes, "Thema" in isolation is a very broad term, but we use it in conjunction with "Querschnitt" and that is fine for me. I know the term "Belang" mainly from the university context (e.g., from aspect-oriented software development). I am fine with both "Querschnittsthemen" and "Querschnittsbelange".
