- Consistency: Use the same translation for a term throughout the application
- Context: Consider how the term is used in the application
- Cultural Adaptation: Adapt terms to local conventions when necessary
- Technical Accuracy: Ensure security terms are translated accurately
- Tone: Maintain a professional but straightforward tone
- The term “secret” is central to the application and should be translated consistently
- Regional variations (e.g., “courriel” in Canadian French vs “e-mail” in European French) should be respected
- Technical terms related to security should prioritize accuracy over localization
- UI elements should follow platform conventions for the target language
