Author Topic: Difference between "home" and "homepage" (Read 1259 times)

Hi all ...
In CiviCRM and english in general the word "Home" has a double meaning.
Home as in homepage on a website, and home as in an individuals home where he lives.

However, in the dutch translation, home is translated in regard to a "homepage" on a website.
This gives, when creating or modifying a contactrecord, a strange situation in regard to select lists that mention the word "Home".
When you edit a phone number for example, you get a choice: work, billing, home, ... .
But since the word "home" is translated literal as "homepage", in dutch this is: "startpagina", you get a list like:
Work, Billing, Homepage, ... .

So, since the word "home" can have a different meaning it should be possible to translate this depending on its use case.
Any thoughts on this?

Have a great day!
Johan.

Hi,

That's a very good point. IMO, everytime there is a "home" that is for homepage, it should be replaced by homepage.

That's simple to to, either changing it on the php or template, but it can't be done automatically probably, as you point out we need to know if it's home as in home or home as in homepage.

Would you be able/willing to do the changes ?
