Appendix B
Common Motif Terms Translated into European Languages

This appendix contains common OSF/Motif terms in English with corresponding translations into ten European languages. These terms apply to screen objects (such as the standard menus) and to terms that writers and translators can use when creating user information. By using the translated terms in these tables for labeling screen objects in all Motif applications, and for referring to them in all documentation, you contribute to the consistency of all Motif user interfaces.

The tables include the following languages:
