Translation Remarks

Terminology is a contract: one concept keeps one word on every screen and in every locale. Three locales ship together — en, zh-Hant and zh-Hans — and the English bundle is the schema the Chinese bundles are typed against, so a key missing from a Chinese locale is a build error. The readings below are the ones the zh-Hant bundle ships.

Words That Carry More Than One Sense

Contour is the sharpest case: in the cutter namespace it is 刃雕 (Flute Contours 刃雕, Baseline Contour 基準刃雕), and in the spindle-capability namespace it is 等值線 (Power Contours 功率等值線, Torque Contours 扭矩等值線). Each sense keeps its own entry rather than one compromise word.

Fluting is a cutter's whole set of flute contours — one shared baseline or one per flute — and translates as 刃雕構型: Uniform Fluting 對稱刃雕構型, Free Fluting 自由刃雕構型.

Program is the UI-layer word and does translate: 程式 in zh-Hant, 程序 in zh-Hans. Control in the frontend names the Control Tree UI, 控制樹, and never takes 程式.

Never Translate

HiNC · hincproj · SoftNc · MachiningStep · brand names (Fanuc, Heidenhain, Mazak, Siemens, Syntec) · NC codes (G54, M128, CYCLE800, TRAORI, RTCP, TCPM) · file extensions and MIME-ish strings (STL, *.hincproj) · units (mm, rpm, mm/min, N, Nm, kW, KB, MB, GB) · the keyboard shortcuts embedded in tooltip sentences · route names, enum keys, localStorage keys and series identifiers — anything a machine compares. Language self-names (English, 简体中文, 繁體中文) stay in their own language in every locale. The full list lives with the bundles, in the i18n folder's README.

A Choice That Carries No Label

The cutter's integral mode reaches the web application as the integralMode datum rather than as a named field: it decides whether the Tool House material section offers a separate shank material, and shows no label of its own. A term with no visible string is still part of the contract — it has to be settled before anything renders a value derived from it.
