Noun Strings Used in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications

Some noun strings present translation challenges because the translator must first determine whether words contained in the string are nouns or verbs. For example, in the field name Install System, is the word install a verb or a noun? In this instance, install system is a compound noun string. Many developers understand this string because they are familiar with the way in which JD Edwards EnterpriseOne implementations use it. However, for a translator or international user, the meaning of the string is unclear.

This table lists examples of text strings that are currently used in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications and a description of the confusion that each one can cause a translator or an international user:

Field Name	Question Asked By a Translator
Log File Name	Does this mean to log the filename or the name of the log file?
Setup Function	Does this mean to set up the function or the function for the setup?
Setup Menu	Does this mean to set up the menu or the menu containing setup options?
Install Data	Does this mean to install data or data referring to the installation?
Install Data Sources	Does this mean to install data sources or data sources referring to the installation?
Install Environments	Does this mean to install environments or environments referring to the installation?
Install Hosts	Does this mean to install hosts or hosts referring to the installation?
Add Following	Add the word following or add after?
