Part I Language Neutral Guidelines
General Information on John Deere Publications
a. Source Language
About 85% of John Deere publications are authored in English. Some publications coming from Brazil,
Germany and China factories are written in the local language. These publications are translated into
English first. The English translation is used as source for all other languages.
b. First Translation Edit (FTE)

First Translation Edit (FTE) is a John Deere process in which a John Deere technical translator creates the
first translation of a publication (into English, German, French or Spanish). At the same time, the
translator edits the source text to improve readability and translatability and eliminates errors in the
source text. Translations into other languages are only started after First Translation Edit. FTE is not
carried out for all publications.
c. Publication Types
- OPERATOR'S MANUALS (OM) contain operating, maintenance, safety and service
information.
- PREDELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS (PDI) provide information about proper assembly,
adjustment, and pre-delivery service for a machine.
- INSTRUCTIONS explain how to unload, assemble, adjust, or use a complete good or a
service part. There are Installation Instructions (II) and Unloading Instructions (UI).
- SERVICE RECORD BOOKLETS contain service schedules for the machines.
- TECHNICAL MANUALS (TM) provide service technicians information on how to repair or
completely overhaul a John Deere machine and include diagnostic, test, adjustment,
theory of operation and repair information. For most machines, there are both a
Diagnostic Technical Manual and a Repair Technical Manual. Some manuals cover both
diagnostics and repair.
- COMPONENT TECHNICAL MANUALS (CTM) include diagnostic, test, adjustment, theory of
operation and repair information of components. Typically these components are used
on more than one vehicle; e.g., engines, axles, hydraulic pumps and motors.
- DEALER TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER SOLUTIONS (DTAC SOLUTIONS) provide service
technicians with information for troubleshooting specific complaints and symptoms.
- PARTS CATALOGS (PC) are the basic source of information about replacement parts for
the dealer and the customer.

e. Regional / Language Code Numbering for CTMs and TMs
Up to November 2006, every TM and CTM has had a unique number for every language (e.g. Tractors
6820, 6920 and 6920S Repair: TM4756 - English, TM4966 Hungarian; Alternators and Starter Motors:
CTM77 English, CTM576 Greek). All authored publications created on or after 01 November 2006 no
longer have unique numbers for every language. Instead, a base number is assigned to the authored
publication and the Deere language code is appended to it.
Example: Publication requested by a German factory to be authored in German: TM400029
Translated versions of this publication will be TM400063 (Spanish), TM400019 (English), TM400054
(Portuguese), etc.
The TM and CTM numbering system will indicate the factory/region where a given product is built not
where the publication was authored.
1000xx to 2999xx -- Ag and C&CE products manufactured in North America
3000xx to 3999xx -- Ag products manufactured in France
4000xx to 4999xx -- Ag products manufactured in Germany & the Netherlands
5000xx to 5499xx -- Ag products manufactured in Spain
5500xx to 5999xx -- Ag products manufactured in UK
6000xx to 6999xx -- Ag products manufactured in Mexico
7000xx to 7999xx -- Ag products manufactured in South Africa
8000xx to 8999xx -- Ag products manufactured in Brazil and Argentina
9000xx to 9999xx -- Ag products manufactured in India
In the new numbering system, xx is the appended language code.
Please note that the old numbering system will continue to be used as long as translations of revised
publications are needed which were created before 01 November 2006.
f. Publication Numbers referenced on CTM and TM Covers

TM and CTM covers provide information on reference TMs and CTMs.
Note: All publications are not necessarily translated into all languages!
See example below.
9
For publications going through the TIR/Across process, the translation project coordinator will check the
numbers on the cover page before publishing in TIR.
IMPORTANT: Although this is not the official recommendation, a reference TM or CTM number can
sometimes be found within the TM or CTM. These numbers need to be adapted by the translator. If the
correct target publication number is unknown, ask the translation project coordinator for assistance.
Example:
The correct publication number for the German translation is TM102829, for the Spanish translation
TM102863, etc. Refer to the language code table in Deere Language Codes.

Declarations of conformity
Declarations of conformity are very important for our business, so it is essential to have a standardized
and clearly defined content in all languages. The decision has been made NOT to translate the following
items:
Name and location of the company
Models, serial numbers
Names and addresses
Titles
Manufacturing unit name
See example below for more details. DO NOT translate the highlighted text.
15
Language and Art/Displays
John Deere publications contain language-specific artwork. Every graphic has a number, a language code
and a date:
CC1026961UN26JAN05, or CC1023619 1926JAN05
UN means the graphic is language-neutral. The graphic will be the same for all languages.
19, 28, 29, 39 etc. mean that the graphic contains text (see example below). In the pdf file generated for
the translation, the graphic will have the target language code:
In the target publication, the text in the graphic may either be in English (i.e. the decal/display does not
exist in the target language) or in the target language.
You will only know after having created a pdf file in your target language.
Whenever the continuous text refers to a graphic, the translator has to refer to the terms in the graphic
in the language displayed in the graphic.
Graphic in English: Refer to the text displayed in English and explain in target language. See
example for a Dutch translation:
16
Exception: ISG publications (unit PC) may have English text in artwork for all languages. Translate
all English text outside the artwork (legends, legend references in text, etc.). Do NOT keep
English text in ISG publications!
Graphic in target language: Refer to the text displayed in target language. See example for a
French translation:
Example for language-specific display and text (GreenStar display) (in English and Estonian):
17
English (source):
In the target publication, the display is in Estonian. Whenever the text refers to the display, the
translator has to use the correct display entry:
Wrong:
18
Right:
Displays are not available in all languages. Authors sometimes add a bilingual table to explain the display
entries in each language:
Source:
Target (example in German):
19
Consistency, Idiomaticity and Style
Translation of modularized technical information requires a high level of consistency throughout the
technical information documents.
1. Make sure that text and legend items match throughout the documents.
Wrong:
2. Translation memory segments which were created by John Deere internal translators take
precedence over segments from external translators. Segments from internal translators are
recognizable by the following User Ids:
English/German French Spanish Italian

_Alexandra Drummond Anne Kagan _Maria Bellido _Claudio Testa
_Walter Hoffner _Hubert Scheuer _Thomas Wendt
_Hans-Joachim Kieling _Lise Hesemann _Paula Martinez
_Gordon Donaldson Coralie Faure _Carlos Lorenzo
_Sandra Hinckers _Yolanda Rodriguez
_Jennifer Jung
_Thomas Wendt
More recent versions have probably been improved or altered to conform to terminology.
Where multiple translations exist, select the most appropriate one considering terminology.
Internally translated segments should be changed only if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to correct a
mistake or to keep terminology consistent).
Concerning style, keep to the following guidelines:
- Use punctuation.
- Keep nomenclature/terminology consistent, call parts by their commonly used names.
Regardless of whether the document is targeted at individual consumers, dealers, or John Deere
employees, the sensitivity of users to male and female stereotypes should be recognized by translators.
The language used should be gender-neutral.
20
Terminology
a. crossTerm
1. Definition and purpose
crossTerm is the reference for terminology, particularly terms that may be specific to John Deere.
However, crossTerm also contains more general terms (like screws or bolts for example).
crossTerm contains entries with definitions, graphics and other additional information as well as English
designations with its translations in up to 39 languages. These designations (terms) are based on term
guidelines and were approved by the John Deere Term Council members and/or linguists.
Make sure that John Deere terminology is used!
Terminology is available for English, Chinese, French, German, Hungarian, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese,
Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Finnish, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Danish, Romanian, Czech and
Ukrainian. A few entries are available in additional languages. More languages will be added in future.
2. How to use crossTerm
Whenever terminology is available in your language, the corresponding terms will show up in crossDesk
in the terminology window. Just like for crossTank, each project only contains an extract of the whole
database, i.e. the entries corresponding to the source terms appearing in the current project.
Entries released by John Deere can be identified by the corresponding leaping Deere icon:
NOTE: Whenever there is an information icon, if there are multiple entries or you have any doubt,
please view the complete entry directly in the crossTerm module!
21
The following window gives an example of a search result:
In addition to the search results on the left, information is displayed in three important window sections
on the right. These are marked with green numbers 1, 2, 3.
The top section (1) shows all relevant information about the entry. This example displays
properties (4, in red) such as machine type and source factory. Definitions (in English and/or
other languages) and/or pictures can also be shown here.
The middle section shows the designations or terms. The left column shows the terms in the
source language, and the target terms are shown on the right.
The bottom section provides additional information regarding the term. An information sign
behind the term (5, in yellow on the screenshot above and on the picture below) indicates that
additional term information is provided in this section.
In addition to this information icon, two other symbols are also important: The green hook symbol (in
the middle of the picture above) and the red stop symbol (on top of the picture above).
22
The green hook stands for approved and official John Deere terminology. These terms must be
used.
The red stop symbol stands for rejected or forbidden terminology. There are many reasons for
exclusions: technically or linguistically incorrect designations, jargon, not corporate wording, etc.
Example: grain tank
Source:
Inconsistency in German:
23
crossTerm entry: Only Korntank is officially approved and should be used.
b. Terminology rules
crossTerm should have priority over any other Excel list or glossary.
Official terminology has priority over consistency. Even if structure and context matches use a
different term, please stick to the approved crossTerm entry, otherwise it will not be possible to
enforce terminology. We will try to clean-up crossTank progressively to remove wrong or outdated
terminology.
Some terms may have several meanings, depending on the machine and/or the context. Always
check the full crossTerm entry (attributes, graphic, and definition) to make sure you are using the
right term in the right context. Referring to crossTerm is essential but it does not replace the
translators judgment and his ability to question a translation that may not fit in some cases. Here
are some examples showing that relying merely on crossTerm can lead to erratic or inappropriate
translations.
- Lug bolt is a general term which can be found in specialized dictionaries. Lug bolt is
not in crossTerm but lug and bolt are separate entries. Lug bolt should not be
translated by simply adding the two crossTerm entries, which leads to an inadequate
translation.
- In French, Holder is translated by Support in crossTerm. This does not mean that ALL
holders should be supports in French. For instance, cup holder should be porte-
24
gobelet and not support de gobelet. Another example is document holder (not
shown in crossTerm); it can be translated by porte-documents which is better than
support de documents.
Authors sometimes use terms which are defined as rejected instead of using the corresponding
official terms. This is an authoring issue on which the translator has no impact. However, the
translator should use the official translated term relating to the rejected source term. Every
rejected English entry in crossTerm should show its equivalent official entry and the
corresponding official translation is always given.
IMPORTANT: The translator should not be inconsistent in the translation just because the author
was inconsistent in the source! Always use the approved target term, regardless of the source term.
Example: If an author used Bale case (rejected) instead of Bale chamber (official) in the source
text, the translator will get the following information in crossTerm:
So both for bale case or bale chamber, the translator should use chambre balles in
French, cmara de fardo in Portuguese, Presskammer in German, etc.
The translator should always bear in mind that authors do NOT always use the correct terminology
in the source text and that crossTerm cannot compensate for that. If the translator is not sure
whether the information given in crossTerm is reliable or not, please contact us.
25
Example: If an author used oscillating frame or pivoting frame (rejected) instead of tilt frame
(official) in the source text, the translator will get the following information in crossTerm:
The translator should not use the rejected term (prohibitive sign) in his or her language, just
because the English source term is a rejected one. ALWAYS use the official term (green tick) in
your language.
All translated terms have been reviewed by linguists or subject-matter experts from the field.
However, we cannot exclude spelling errors or inconsistencies. Should you detect any issue, dont
hesitate to contact us and we will be glad to double-check. If you have any question regarding the
John Deere terminology, please send your feedback to terminology@JohnDeere.com.
26
Comprehension and Mistakes in Source Text
If the source text is not clear or if there is a mistake in the source text, contact the translation project
coordinator. Please use the excel template provided by John Deere to ask questions or report issues (see
Query Template in the Annex part).
Even if the author confirms that there is a mistake in the source text, dont correct it in the translation.
Correcting the error would generate a wrong paragraph in CrossTank and the source and target versions
would not match anymore. For these reasons, we recommend to translate as is, but would appreciate to
be notified about errors in the source text so the author can update the text in the next version of the
publication. In such cases, there is no need to upload the project unfinished since the error cannot be
corrected in Across; if necessary, it will be corrected directly in the content management system.
Structure and Context Matches
A structure and context match is a 100% match meeting the following criteria:
The previous and the next translation unit are the same as in a previously translated document
(context match)
AND
The translation unit uses the same structure attribute (structure match).
The structure and context matches are greyed out in CrossDesk and locked. It is NOT possible to unlock
the matches to perform changes. To make proofreading easier and allow the translator to identify the
structure and context matches, the corresponding sentences are greyed out on the pdf files delivered by
PE (and composed via Across).
If critical corrections are required (for example safety issues), the translator should notify the project
manager who has to upload the project unfinished so we can perform the corrections before the book is
published.
If non-critical corrections are required, the project can be uploaded as usual. For example, terminology
corrections or consistency issues would fall into this category. The corrections will be done to improve
the translation memory and take effect for the next projects.
If any corrections are required (critical or not), inform the translation coordinator upon delivery of the
project.
27
Units of Measurement
John Deere uses dual dimensions in technical publications. Normally metric values are shown first and
the customary (US) values follow in parenthesis, except when no appropriate conversion exists.
Example:
13000 kPa (130 bar) (1880 psi)
Always use the units as defined by the International Systems of Units (SI) wherever possible.
Keep to the order of values. A space must appear between the number and the approved unit of
measurement. Generally speaking, the official rules applicable in the respective countries need
to be followed.
For example, here is an official statement for Bulgaria:
In Bulgaria, there are no specific regulations regarding units of measurements which are
applicable to agricultural machinery. As a consequence, there are three possibilities to display
units of measurements in Bulgarian technical documentation:
Only in latin characters
Only in cyrillic characters
In latin and cyrillic characters.
All three possibilities are legally acceptable.
Do NOT translate or convert U.S. measurements and keep the values and units in brackets
unchanged.
Do not convert in to the symbol!
If one of the values is missing, do not convert the units by yourself. Please inform your project
coordinator, who will forward the information to the author for correction in a future revision.
Layout Issues
The translator should make sure that the layout of the publication looks good, and correct obvious
layout issues which are not caused by a bug or known issue in the composition engine (for example, text
running off the page in certain situations).
28
This includes the following items:
1. Section and group titles must fit into one line.
Wrong:
2. The footer text should not overwrite the page number.
Wrong:
3. Legend or table text should also fit in the space provided.
Wrong:
Wrong:
Abbreviate the text accordingly. The content should be readable.
29
Entities and punctuation
Please make sure you dont use any entities which are not declared in our DTD.
If this is the case, a corresponding error message will appear in the Tagged XML Validity Check:
Example: Use ONLY straight or curly quotation marks. Do not use any other quotation marks, even if
your language would typically use this style!
Wrong:
Incorrect
Incorrect
Right:
"This is correct"
Correct
Other punctuation rules cannot be applied for technical reasons, for example the use of non-breaking
spaces before question marks, exclamation marks or semi-colons.
Generally speaking, please use the same formatting as the source text, especially for long dashes, even if
this may be uncommon in your language.
30
Examples for onscreen help texts:
In such cases, keep the long dash in all languages, dont replace by a hyphen or any other punctuation
mark.
31
Anchors
Anchors are references to block titles of other blocks. Text in anchors and block titles should match.
IMPORTANT: Quotation marks are NO LONGER used outside the anchor tag at the beginning and end of
the anchor. For references to a block or a section, in an anchor or not, DO NOT USE QUOTATION
MARKS!
Make sure the tags in the translated text are placed at the right location around the anchor text.
Abbreviations
a. General
Abbreviate words only if necessary (in legends etc.).
For commonly used abbreviations, refer to the table Abbreviations Used in John Deere Technical
Information Documents in the Annex part of the Style Guide.
b. Control Units/Control Softwares

Control units/control softwares are identified by three-letter acronyms/abbreviations. These three-
letter identifiers must not be translated.
Examples (English/German/French):
ATC control unit Steuereinheit ATC contrleur ATC

ECU control unit Steuereinheit ECU contrleur ECU
PTQ control unit Steuereinheit PTQ contrleur PTQ
LC1 control unit Steuereinheit LC1 contrleur LC1
ATC control software Steuersoftware ATC logiciel de contrle ATC

ECU control software Steuersoftware ECU logiciel de contrle ECU
PTQ control software Steuersoftware PTQ logiciel de contrle PTQ
NOTE: CAB control unit Steuereinheit CAB contrleur CAB

CAB control software Steuersoftware CAB logiciel de contrle CAB
BUT: Cab control unit Steuereinheit in Kabine contrleur de la cabine
32
Part II - Language-Specific Guidelines
English
The following guidelines are complementary to the general rules of the English language in terms of
grammar, style and punctuation as well as guidelines and instructions provided in the previous parts of
this document. All of them should be strictly followed.
When working in Across, the translator should always consider the part of the document being
translated: title, core text, legend, caption etc. For this reason, it is mandatory to use source and target
PDF previews.
American spellings are used in John Deere publications.
Color NOT Colour
Tire NOT Tyre
Vise NOT Vice
a. Translating Technical Publications - Style
1. Imperative Form
Use the imperative form, especially in procedures.

c. Legends, Captions, Index Entries, Specifications and Anchors
1. Legends
Use an upper case letter for each word (except for: conjunctions, prepositions, articles):
2. Captions
A caption is text which describes a piece of art. Captions are always used in conjunction with a figure.
Most captions are not visible in the PDF, but in the Service ADVISORTM application.
Use an upper case letter for each word. The content of the caption must correspond to the content of
the running text.
3. Index Entries
Use a sensible word order in the index entry. Consider that the index is often the first place to search for
information. The most important thing is to keep consistent all identical index entries of the same level.
Note that there will be a separate entry for each index entry which is not written in the same way as the
other index entries.
37
Wrong:
Use an upper case letter for the first letter of each word. As a general rule, use a noun first, put a
comma and add the verb in progressive form.
Right:
4. Specifications
Use an upper case letter for the first letter of each word (except for: conjunctions, prepositions and
articles):
5. Anchors
As the anchor text refers to a block title, it is absolutely important to keep to the following rule: Initial
letters of nouns, adjectives and verbs are upper case. This does not apply to prepositions, articles and
conjunctions. Refer to Section, Group and Block Titles.

Right: highly flammable liquid
Note the difference between verbs and nouns. Hyphenate combined words if they form a
noun, but not if they form a verb.
Verbs: set up back up sign off
Nouns: set-up back-up sign-off
When a unit of measurement is used as an adjective, put a hyphen between the number
and the unit of measurement.
Right: 9-ton puller
Left-hand and right-hand must be written with a hyphen. Left and right can also
be used.

Deutsch
Die nachfolgenden Richtlinien gelten ergnzend zu den allgemeingltigen deutschen Sprachregeln in

Bezug auf Grammatik, Stil und Interpunktion sowie ergnzend zu den Richtlinien und Anweisungen, die
im ersten Teil dieses Dokuments genannt wurden. Alle Regeln sind genau zu befolgen.
Beim bersetzen in Across sollte sich der bersetzer bewusst sein, welchen Teil des Dokuments er oder
sie gerade bersetzt: Titel, Flietext, Legende, Caption, usw. Daher ist die Verwendung einer PDF in
Ausgangs- und Zielsprache zwingend erforderlich.
a. Stilistische Richtlinien
1. Infinitiv versus persnlicher Stil bei Handlungsanweisungen

Handlungsanweisungen mssen immer mit Infinitiv ausgedrckt werden. Der Infinitiv hat den Vorteil,
dass bei Partikelverben keine Satzklammer entsteht, die das Satzverstndnis erschwert. Die persnliche
Anrede Sie/Ihnen darf NICHT verwendet werden.
Beispiel: Take out hex. socket screws (B) and remove lining.
Falsch: Entfernen Sie die Innensechskantschrauben (B) und nehmen Sie die
Verkleidung ab.
Richtig: Innensechskantschrauben (B) entfernen und Verkleidung abnehmen.
2. Passive Konstruktion versus aktive man-Konstruktion

Englische passive Konstruktionen sollten im Deutschen nicht durch die man-Konstruktion
wiedergegeben werden. Stattdessen ist die Passivkonstruktion auch im Deutschen vorzuziehen.
Beispiel: The connecting lines within a data BUS system are called communication
lines.
Falsch: Die Verbindungsleitungen innerhalb eines Daten-BUS-Systems nennt man

Kommunikationsleitungen.
Richtig: Die Verbindungsleitungen innerhalb eines Daten-BUS-Systems werden

Kommunikationsleitungen genannt.
45
3. Unpersnlicher Stil versus erste Person Plural
Die 1. Person Plural sollte vermieden werden.
Beispiel: We would suggest using the following layout on combines.
Falsch: Wir empfehlen, auf Mhdreschern das folgende Layout zu verwenden.
Richtig: Auf Mhdreschern wird die Verwendung des folgenden Layouts

empfohlen.
4. Hervorhebungen
In den englischen Ausgangspublikationen wird neben Fett- und Kursivschreibung im Flietext
hervorgehoben, indem die Anfangsbuchstaben grogeschrieben werden. Im Deutschen ist es nicht
immer mglich, dieser letztgenannten Art der Hervorhebung durch die Benutzung von
Anfhrungszeichen zu folgen, da sie zu einer ironischen Lesart fhren knnen. Auf eine Hervorhebung
sollte dann verzichtet werden.
Beispiel: A Company Employee must supervise the installation of duplicate
plates.
Falsch: Die Anbringung von Typenschildduplikaten muss durch einen

Angestellten des Unternehmens berwacht werden.
Richtig: Die Anbringung von Typenschildduplikaten muss durch einen

Angestellten des Unternehmens berwacht werden.
Achtung: Auch bei Abschnittsberschriften, Blockberschriften und Aufzhlungen sollte in diesem Fall
die bliche Gro- und Kleinschreibung verwendet werden.
Beispiele:
46
Komplett mit Grobuchstaben hervorgehobene Wrter knnen auch im Deutschen auf diese Weise
hervorgehoben werden:
Beispiel:
5. Indexeintrge
Der Index ist fr den Leser oftmals die erste Informationsquelle. Bei der bersetzung von
Indexeintrgen ist dies zu bercksichtigen. Oftmals kann im Deutschen eine andere Reihenfolge der
Information als im Englischen sinnvoll sein.
Bezglich Gro- und Kleinschreibung gilt, dass jedes erste Wort jeder Ebene gro geschrieben wird. Das
gilt auch fr die Verben.
6. Abkrzungen
Folgende Wrter nicht abkrzen:
Ausschlielich, einschlielich, mindestens, positiv, negativ
Max. und min. mglichst ausschreiben.

Ausnahme: Diese Begriffe treten bei einem Zahlenwert, in einer Legende oder in einer
Spezifikation auf.
Zu viele Abkrzungen in einer Reihe vermeiden.
Falsch: D.h., dass z.B. der max. Wert erreicht ist.
b. Grammatik
1. Alte versus neue Rechtschreibung

Bei John Deere wird seit dem 1. November 2009 die neue deutsche Rechtschreibung verwendet.
2. Satzbau
Der Satzbau in einer technischen Information sollte einfach sein. Diese grundstzliche stilistische
Anforderung bedeutet folgende Vorgehensweise:
47
Schachtelstze und lange Attribute vermeiden.
Beispiel: Raise three-point hitch until the chain can be connected to the tractor
with the same length and at the same location as required for the tongue
adjustment, then slowly lower three-point hitch until chain begins to tighten.
Falsch: Nachdem die Dreipunktaufhngung so weit angehoben wurde, dass die

Kette am Traktor mit der gleichen Lnge und an der gleichen Stelle eingehngt
werden konnte, wie es zur am Gert vorzunehmenden Einstellung der Deichsel
erforderlich war, die Dreipunktaufhngung langsam absenken, bis sich die Kette
zu spannen beginnt.
Richtig: Dreipunktaufhngung so weit anheben, dass die Kette am Traktor mit der
gleichen Lnge und an der gleichen Stelle eingehngt werden kann, wie es zur
Einstellung der Deichsel am Gert erforderlich ist. Danach Dreipunktaufhngung
langsam absenken, bis die Kette sich zu spannen beginnt.
Fllwrter und Partikeln vermeiden.
Beispiel: Start engine. Turn rotary switch (A) to position X. Engage separator.
Engage header. Multi-function lever in forward travel position. Adjust reel speed
by means of rocker switch (B), as required.
Falsch: Motor wie gewohnt anlassen. Drehschalter (A) dann auf Stellung X
drehen. Dreschwerk schon einschalten. Und Erntevorsatz einschalten.
Multifunktionshebel auf Vorwrtsfahrt stellen. Anhand des Schalters (B) die
Haspeldrehzahl entsprechend einstellen.
Richtig: Motor anlassen. Drehschalter (A) auf Stellung X drehen. Dreschwerk

einschalten. Erntevorsatz einschalten. Multifunktionshebel auf Vorwrtsfahrt
stellen. Anhand des Schalters (B) die Haspeldrehzahl entsprechend einstellen.
Aufforderungen ohne Artikel schreiben.
Beispiel: Press SETUP key.
Falsch: Die Taste SETUP drcken.
Richtig: Taste SETUP drcken.
48
Bezge mssen klar sein.
Demonstrativpronomen sollten eindeutige Bezge haben. Ist der Bezug nicht eindeutig,
muss das Substantiv, auf das sich ein Pronomen bezieht, wiederholt werden.
Richtig: Gelbe Lampe blinkt. Dies weist auf eine Strung hin, deren Ursache sofort
berprft werden sollte.
Falsch: Gelbe Lampe blinkt, die Rotoren drehen, Erntegut wird gleichmig geschnitten.
Dies (?) weist auf eine Strung hin, deren Ursache sofort berprft werden sollte.
Vermeidung von elliptischen Konstruktionen.

Konditionalstze mit wenn einleiten. Keine Konditionalstze mit falls und statt
bilden.
Beispiel: If after 10 minutes value is 003, 008, 012 or 015, call the hotline at 0049
XXXX XXXX.
Richtig: Wenn nach 10 Minuten 003, 008, 012 oder 015 erscheint, die Hotline
0049 XXXX XXXX anrufen.
Falsch: Erscheint nach 10 Minuten 003, 008, 012 oder 015, die Hotline 0049
XXXX XXXX anrufen.
Falsch: Falls nach 10 Minuten 003, 008, 012 oder 015 erscheint, die Hotline 0049
XXXX XXXX anrufen.
3. Interpunktion
1. Anfhrungszeichen
In den deutschen John Deere Publikationen werden aus systemtechnischen Grnden die
englischen Anfhrungszeichen (“ ” 66-99) verwendet:

Diese Anfhrungszeichen werden bei Verwendung der deutschen Tastatur automatisch bei
der bersetzung in Across eingefgt. Gelegentlich werden in der Ausgangspublikation auch
gerade Anfhrungsstriche (") benutzt. In diesem Fall knnen die geraden Anfhrungsstriche
bernommen werden.
Die deutschen Anfhrungszeichen (99-66) drfen NICHT verwendet werden!
2. Listen und Aufzhlungen

Bei John Deere gilt fr Listen und Aufzhlungen die interpunktionslose Variante. Es werden
keine Satzzeichen (Komma, Punkt, Semikolon) an das Zeilenende gesetzt.
49
4. Zahlen und Ziffern
1. Im Text
Zahlen von 1 bis 12 als Zahlwrter schreiben, darber als Ziffern schreiben. Zahlen, denen
abgekrzte Einheitsangaben folgen, immer als Ziffern schreiben. Dasselbe gilt fr Zahlen in
Tabellen. Zwischen Zahlen und Maangaben steht ein Leerzeichen.
Zwlf, aber: 127
12 kg, 127 L
2. In Legenden
In Legenden hngt die Schreibweise von Zahlen und Ziffern davon ab, ob die Legende lesbar
dargestellt werden kann, wenn Zahlen ausgeschrieben werden. In diesem Fall hat die
Lesbarkeit Vorrang. In der Regel kann man sich nach dem Ausgangstext richten. Die
Vorgehensweise innerhalb der Legende sollte konsistent sein.
3. Leerzeichen
In deutschen John Deere Publikationen werden Zahlen mit mehr als vier Stellen nicht durch
Leerzeichen in Gruppen gegliedert:
Beispiel Englisch: 12 000
Falsch Deutsch: 12 000
Richtig Deutsch: 12000
c. Terminologie
1. Wahl der Verben (Partikelverben)

Zum leichteren Lesen und Verstehen sollten bei der Wahl der Verben diejenigen Verben den Vorzug
bekommen, die im Satzbau nicht getrennt werden mssen.
Beispiel: While header is moved down, the system determines the header position
using the header angle sensor and header height sensors.
Richtig: Whrend der Erntevorsatz abgesenkt wird, bestimmt das System die
Position des Erntevorsatzes mit Hilfe des Neigungssensors und der
Hhensensoren.
Falsch: Whrend der Erntevorsatz abgesenkt wird, stellt das System die Position
des Erntevorsatzes mit Hilfe des Neigungssensors und der Hhensensoren fest.
50
2. Komposita
Das Deutsche bietet die Mglichkeit, Komposita zu bilden. Allerdings sollte diese Form der Wortbildung
nicht vllig ausgereizt werden. Als Faustregel gilt, dass bei John Deere nicht mehr als vier selbststndig
vorkommende Wrter aneinander gereiht werden. Vielmehr ist eine Umschreibung unter Verwendung
von Prpositionen und Attributen vorzuziehen.
Beispiel: charge air cooler outlet air temperature sensor
Richtig: Sensor fr Auslasstemperatur des Ladeluftkhlers
Falsch: Ladeluftkhlerauslasstemperatursensor
3. Beziehungsweise
Bzw. oder beziehungsweise ist zu vermeiden. Beziehungsweise hat nur die beiden folgenden
Bedeutungen (siehe Duden):
1. oder im Sinne von genauer gesagt, oder vielmehr.
Beispiel: Wir sind Bekannte bzw. Freunde.
2. und im anderen Fall:
Beispiel: Der Eintrittspreis fr Erwachsene und Kinder betrgt 10 EUR bzw. 5 EUR.
Ist eine der beiden vorgenannten Bedeutungen gemeint, darf bzw. verwendet werden, in allen
anderen Fllen NICHT!

Franais
Les directives suivantes viennent complter les rgles gnrales de grammaire, de style et de
ponctuation de la langue franaise, ainsi que les directives et recommandations figurant dans la
premire partie de ce document. Toutes ces rgles doivent tre respectes.
Lorsquil travaille dans Across, le traducteur doit savoir quelle partie du document renvoie le texte
quil est en train de traduire (titre, texte courant, lgendes, etc.). Cest pourquoi lutilisation de fichiers
PDF pour les langues source et cible est indispensable.
a. Style
Les publications techniques John Deere doivent rpondre un certain nombre de rgles stylistiques de
base.
- viter les constructions maladroites.
- Faire des phrases simples.
- viter les accumulations de complments dobjet direct, en particulier dans les titres (voir
Titres).
- Respecter la syntaxe.
Exemple : When a new receiver/dryer is installed and there were no leaks

found in the system, add 15 mL (0.5 oz) of R134a refrigerant oil.
Incorrect : Si lon installe un dshydrateur neuf et quon na pas dtect

de fuite de circuit, ajouter 15 ml (0.5 oz) dhuile rfrigrante R134a.
Correct : Si un dshydrateur neuf a t install et quaucune fuite na t

dtecte, ajouter 15 ml (0.5 oz) dhuile de rfrigration R134a.
- Ne pas utiliser le discours direct (pronom personnel vous , adjectif possessif votre ,
etc.) et prfrer les articles dfinis et linfinitif.
Exemple : Have this service job performed by your John Deere dealer.
Incorrect : Confiez cette opration votre concessionnaire John Deere.
Correct : Confier cette opration au concessionnaire John Deere.
Incorrect : Munissez-vous dun tournevis.
Correct : Se munir dun tournevis.
52
- Utiliser de prfrence la voix active.
- Toutefois, pour viter les formulations avec on , la voie passive est autorise.
Exemple : Load capacity with front loader is obtained by multiplying the

load capacity of the tire by the percentage given in the table.
Incorrect : Avec un chargeur frontal, on obtient la capacit de charge en

multipliant la capacit de charge du pneu par le pourcentage indiqu
dans le tableau.
Correct : La capacit de charge dun tracteur avec chargeur frontal est

obtenue en multipliant la capacit de charge du pneu par le pourcentage
indiqu dans le tableau.
- viter les phrases trop longues (mme si le segment source est long, ne pas hsiter
couper le segment cible en plusieurs phrases).
Exemple : Failure to flush the air conditioning system before the new
compressor is installed will create excess PAG oil in the system, resulting
in excessive high pressure which can lead to compressor failure.
Incorrect : Si on nglige de rincer le circuit de climatisation avant

dinstaller le compresseur neuf, cela cre un excdent dhuile PAG dans
le circuit ce qui rsulte en une pression excessivement leve menant
la dfaillance du compresseur.
Correct : Si le circuit de climatisation n'a pas t correctement rinc avant

d'installer le compresseur neuf, un excdent d'huile PAG s'accumule dans
le circuit. Une pression excessivement leve est alors cre dans le
circuit, ce qui peut entraner une dfaillance du compresseur.
- viter les formulations du type faire + verbe .
Exemple : Start engine.
Incorrect : Faire dmarrer le tracteur.
Correct : Dmarrer le tracteur.
Exemple : Turn feed shaft BY HAND before adding seed if drill has been
standing for a long time period of time.
Incorrect : Faire tourner l'arbre d'entranement LA MAIN avant

d'ajouter de la semence si le semoir est rest inutilis pendant
longtemps.
Correct : Tourner l'arbre d'entranement LA MAIN avant d'ajouter de la

semence si le semoir est rest inutilis pendant longtemps.
53
- Toutefois, certains verbes intransitifs ncessitent la construction avec faire .
Exemples : faire pivoter , faire osciller , etc.
- Traduire clockwise/anticlockwise par dans le sens horaire/antihoraire ( vers la
droite/vers la gauche est galement acceptable) et non pas par dans le sens/
sens inverse des aiguilles dune montre qui est trop long.
- viter le langage familier, le jargon et les termes humoristiques.
b. Grammaire et orthographe
1. Temps
En anglais, le futur et le conditionnel sont souvent utiliss pour dcrire une action se produisant
vritablement dans le prsent. Cest pourquoi, en franais, on utilise le prsent (en respectant toutefois
la concordance des temps). Exemple :
Pressure will vary slightly depending on machine.
La pression peut varier lgrement en fonction de la machine.
2. Infinitif/impratif
Dans toutes les publications techniques (OM, TM, notices de montage, etc.), toujours utiliser lindicatif
et non pas limpratif pour dcrire des oprations effectuer par le client/le concessionnaire.
Limpratif peut uniquement tre utilis pour la traduction de lettres commerciales sadressant
directement au client ou au concessionnaire.
3. Subjonctif/indicatif
Utiliser le subjonctif aprs les tournures suivantes : condition que, afin que, moins
que, bien que, de sorte que, jusqu' ce que, pour que, quoique, sans que, veiller ce
que, etc.
Utiliser lindicatif aprs les tournures suivantes : aprs que, tant donn que,
sassurer que, selon que, tandis que, vrifier que, etc.
4. Orthographe
Voici quelques exemples rcurrents de mots mal orthographis :
Incorrect Correct
le diagnostique le diagnostic
le concessionaire le concessionnaire
davantage davantage
c. Terminologie

Neutral Guidelines .
55
3. Registre linguistique
Respecter le vocabulaire spcifique aux types de produits John Deere. Utiliser de
prfrence des termes neutres pour viter les erreurs de contexte. Exemple :
The oil spray also provides splash lubrication for the piston pin and the
bushing.
Incorrect : Les embruns dhuile servent galement lubrifier laxe du

piston et le manchon.
Correct : Lhuile pulvrise assure galement la lubrification de laxe du

piston et du manchon.

2. Guillemets
Dans les publications John Deere, les guillemets droits ou anglais sont utiliss. Ils
peuvent avoir lapparence suivante : ou "". Ces deux variantes sont galement
utilises en franais. Ne pas utiliser les guillemets franais habituels .
Exemple : When the drop floor is lowered, dn (E) is displayed and a

slow intermittent alarm is emitted.
Incorrect : Lorsque la tle de fond mobile est abaisse, dn (E)

saffiche et une alarme intermittente lente retentit.
Correct : Lorsque la tle de fond mobile est abaisse, dn (E)

saffiche et une alarme intermittente lente retentit.
57

Correct : Voir Rglage de la rampe dexpulsion des balles, dans la section

Prparation de la ramasseuse-presse
3. Espace inscable
Dans les publications John Deere, il ny a pas despace inscable avant les deux-points, le point-virgule,
le point d'interrogation, etc.
4. Parenthses et crochets
Les parenthses ne sont jamais prcdes dune virgule, dun point-virgule ou de deux-points.
Ne mettre de point final dans un texte entre parenthses que si la phrase commence dans la
parenthse.
Incorrect : Purger le circuit dalimentation (voir Purge du circuit

dalimentation dans ce groupe.)
Correct : Purger le circuit dalimentation (voir Purge du circuit

Dans les publications John Deere, il ny a pas despace inscable entre le chiffre et le
symbole de pourcentage (ex : 5%).
2. Units de mesure
Dans les publications John Deere, toutes les units de mesure doivent tre indiques dans le systme
mtrique et le systme anglo-saxon. En franais, lunit mtrique doit tre traduite , mais lunit
anglo-saxonne reste telle quelle.

60
Espaol
a. Introduccin
A continuacin, se describen una serie de pautas que se deben tener en cuenta al traducir las
publicaciones de John Deere. Estas pautas son complementarias a las reglas bsicas de escritura de la
lengua espaola en cuanto a gramtica, sintctica, estilo y puntuacin, as como a las reglas definidas en
la primera parte de este documento.
Al traducir en Across, se deber tener en cuenta qu parte del documento se est traduciendo; es decir
si se trata de un ttulo, o de una descripcin de cmo instalar o desmontar componentes hacindose
referencia a ilustraciones. Por tanto, ser necesario en todo momento disponer de un documento
impreso en pdf del ingls y una vez traducido, una copia en pdf del espaol para comparar.
b. Estilo
Al realizar la traduccin se recomienda tener en cuenta las siguientes normas bsicas:
Escribir de forma clara y concisa.
Unificar la terminologa de toda la publicacin.
Procurar no usar palabras vagas (cosa, hecho, algo) ni verbos que sirvan para todo (hacer, poner,
haber). Tratar de buscar la palabra que exprese exactamente el mensaje que se quiere
transmitir.
Limitar el uso de expresiones como sin embargo, por un lado, adems, asimismo,
etctera.
c. Gramtica
1. Uso del infinitivo o el estilo impersonal

John Deere prefiere el uso del infinitivo o del estilo impersonal. Adems, es fundamental mantener la
coherencia a lo largo de toda la publicacin. Esto afecta en especial a casos determinados (mens,
cuadros de dilogo, texto de botones, etc.), que casi siempre expresan la ejecucin de una accin.
Ejemplo: Use the screwdriver to push back the retainer.

1. Open the cover.
2. Remove the spring set.
Incorrecto Utilice el destornillador para empujar el retenedor.

1. Abra la tapa.
2. Extraiga el conjunto de muelles.
61
Correcto: Utilizar el destornillador para empujar el retenedor.
1. Abrir la tapa.
2. Extraer el conjunto de muelles.
Ejemplo: If you choose this option.
Correcto: Si se selecciona esta opcin.
2. Uso del tiempo futuro o el tiempo presente

El tiempo futuro tan frecuente en ingls, en los manuales tcnicos, admite una traduccin en el tiempo
presente, ms comn en espaol.
Ejemplo: This section will describe the procedures to install the final
drives.
Correcto: Esta seccin describe los procedimientos para instalar las

reducciones finales.
Correcto: En esta seccin se describen los procedimientos para instalar
las reducciones finales.
3. Uso de la voz pasiva o la voz activa

Frente al uso generalizado de la pasiva en los manuales tcnicos en ingls, en espaol se prefiere el uso
de la voz activa.
Otro recurso para evitar el uso de la pasiva es el estilo impersonal. En los mensajes de error es la
solucin ms satisfactoria por su concisin, claridad y sencillez.
Ejemplo:
The bearing extractor is used as follows.
The grain tank cover cannot be installed.
Correcto:
El extractor de rodamientos se utiliza de la siguiente forma.
No se puede instalar la tapa del depsito de grano.
4. Traduccin de la forma ing

En ingls el gerundio se utiliza con mucha frecuencia, en especial, en los ttulos. En espaol siempre se
debe traducir por el sustantivo correspondiente. Se debe mantener el gerundio en algunas ocasiones,
por ejemplo, cuando en la barra de estado se indica una accin que se est realizando.
Ejemplo:
Removing and installing final drives
62
Adding and saving configurations in the monitor
Correcto:
Separacin y montaje de las reducciones finales
Adicin y memorizacin de configuraciones en el monitor
5. La construccin sintctica nombre + a + infinitivo

En espaol no se acepta esta construccin, consecuencia de la traduccin literal de la construccin
inglesa nombre+to+infinitivo.
Ejemplo: Parts to remove
Incorrecto: Piezas a desmontar
Correcto: Piezas que es necesario desmontar
d. Puntuacin
1. Guin largo
En ingls se usa el guin largo a modo de parntesis. En espaol, este guin se elimina siempre y se
puede sustituir de diversas formas, segn el estilo del traductor y el sentido de la frase. Puede
convertirse en una frase de inciso entre comas, en un punto y coma, en una frase entre parntesis o
guiones cortos.
NOTA: En los ttulos de bloques o de secciones en los manuales del operador, se debern respetar los
guiones largos del texto en ingls. Ejemplo:
Ingls Espaol
Fuel and Air Intake Systems Repair Sistemas de alimentacin y admisin Reparacin
Throttle Pedal Adjustment5085M, 5095M and Ajuste del pedal del acelerador5085M, 5095M y
5095MH (Cab) 5095MH (cabina)
2. Uso de maysculas
El ingls hace un uso frecuente de las maysculas. En espaol slo se utiliza mayscula en la palabra
inicial, el resto va en minscula, a menos que entre stas se incluyan nombres propios o de productos.
Ejemplo: Air Intake System
Incorrecto: Sistema de Admisin de Aire
Correcto: Sistema de admisin de aire
63
Los nombres comerciales deben seguir su grafa original.
Ejemplo: HMS (Headland Management System)
Correcto: HMS (Headland Management System)
Las letras maysculas, tanto si se trata de iniciales como si se integran en una palabra escrita
enteramente en maysculas, deben llevar tilde si as les corresponde segn las reglas de acentuacin.
No se acentan, sin embargo, las maysculas que forman parte de las siglas.
3. Unidades de medida
En espaol las unidades de medida NO llevan punto. Los manuales tcnicos en espaol incluyen en las
tablas las medidas en el sistema internacional SI y sus equivalencias en el sistema ingls (entre
parntesis).
Por normal general se dejan en espaol entre parntesis las unidades en el sistema ingls pero sin punto
(p. ej. m, kg, l, lb, lb-bu, lb-ft, lb-in).
Ingls Espaol
1.5 m (59.05 in.) 1,5 m (59.05 in)
8 Nm (70 lb-in.) 8 Nm (70 lb-in)
NOTA: Nunca traducir la unidad de medida in por pulg, pulgadas o por el smbolo .
4. Numerales
En las cantidades numricas escritas en cifras se pone coma (,) para indicar los decimales y punto (.)
detrs de las unidades de mil y de milln.
Ejemplo: 1.000 y 25.000
NOTA: No se escribe punto en los nmeros de ao o de pginas.
Como norma, los nmeros del cero al diez se escriben con todas sus letras. Tambin se usan letras para
escribir mil y milln y las decenas, centenas y millares cuando forman parte de nmeros.
En las tablas, leyendas, frmulas matemticas o ejemplos se utilizan siempre nmeros; tambin se
pueden utilizar stos por consideraciones de espacio.
NOTA: La traduccin del trmino ingls billion es mil millones.
Ejemplo:
2 covers and 8 screws
3,000,000
Correcto:
Dos tapas y ocho tornillos
Tres millones
64
5. Comillas
En espaol se utilizan diferentes tipos de comillas: las espaolas ( ), las inglesas ( ) y las
simples ( ). Las comillas espaolas ( ), tambin llamadas latinas o angulares, son las aconsejadas
por la RAE, a pesar de la popularidad de las comillas inglesas.
En las publicaciones John Deere SOLO utilizar las comillas rectas dobles (" ") inglesas, procedentes de
la mecanografa. Por razones tcnicas ACROSS solo acepta esta tipografa de las comillas.
e. Terminologa
1. Glosario
Mediante el uso de crossTerm obtenemos trminos especficos o exclusivos de John Deere. CrossTerm
sirve como base de datos de terminologa fiable y unificada.
Tener en cuenta los trminos con la marca oficial y los trminos con la marca rejected a la hora de
elegir el trmino adecuado para la traduccin.
Tener en cuenta que en algunos trminos aparece el smbolo de i (informacin), mediante el cual se
puede obtener informacin especfica acerca de su uso o de la mquina a la que pertenece. A veces tan
slo un dibujo puede ser de gran ayuda.
2. Traduccin de trminos con diversas acepciones

El ejemplo ms habitual suele ser el trmino pin. La traduccin al espaol ser pasador o buln,
dependiendo del tamao de la pieza y de la funcin que realice (fijacin o carga).
Ejemplo: Draw pin
Incorrecto: Pasador de tiro
65
Correcto: Buln de tiro
Ejemplo: Detent pin
Correcto: Pasador de retencin
3. Siglas
Utilizar la sigla correspondiente apropiada en espaol, si es conocida en las publicaciones John Deere.
Aunque en los manuales tcnicos la inmensa mayora de las siglas no se traducen, la primera vez que
aparecen en un documento se deben traducir entre parntesis como nota explicativa para el lector. En
el ejemplo de abajo, TDM existe como sigla.
.
Ejemplo: MFWD (Mechanical Front Wheel Drive)
Correcto: MFWD (traccin delantera mecnica, TDM)
Otros ejemplos de siglas importantes en nuestros manuales que s tienen traduccin al espaol:
PTO Power Take-Off toma de fuerza TDF

ID Inner diameter dimetro interior D.I.
OD Outer diameter dimetro exterior D.E.
2WD 2-wheel drive sin traccin delantera sin TDM
4WD 4-wheel drive Traccin en las cuatro ruedas TDM
SCV Selective Control Valve Vlvula de mando a distancia VMD
Ejemplo de siglas que no cambian en espaol:
TM Technical Manual Manual tcnico TM

CTM Component Technical Manual Manual tcnico de componentes CTM
VGT Variable Geometry Turbocharger Turbocompresor de geometra VGT
variable
El nombre de las unidades de control (ECU), se abrevia con sus siglas correspondientes en ingls y stas
no deben traducirse al espaol. Para ms informacin sobre su significado y denominacin correctos,
consultar Abbreviations Used in John Deere Technical Information Documents o la base terminolgica
de crossTerm.

f. Ttulos y textos de enlace
1. Ttulos
1. Formato
IMPORTANTE: Cuando se hace referencia a un ttulo en una publicacin, ya sea texto de
enlace o no, NO HA DE ESCRIBIRSE ENTRE COMILLAS.
Incorrecto:
Correcto:
2. Traduccin
En ingls los ttulos suelen ser comnmente gerundios, pero en espaol ha de evitarse esta forma, as
como otras formas verbales, y emplear un sustantivo adecuado.
Ejemplo:
2. Textos de enlace (anchors)

A menudo, cuando en una publicacin se hace referencia a otro bloque del mismo manual se menciona
su ttulo insertndolo entre dos etiquetas o anclas (anchors) que sirven de texto de enlace. Al hacer
clic sobre el texto (en SERVICE ADVISOR), se accede directamente al bloque mencionado. Los ttulos de
enlace deben ser idnticos al ttulo del bloque indicado, de lo contrario se generarn confusiones en el

Ponisze instrukcje stanowi uzupenienie do oglnie obowizujcych zasad jzyka polskiego w zakresie
gramatyki, ortografii, skadni, interpunkcji, a take wskazwek podanych w oglnej czci tego
dokumentu. Wszystkich zasad jzyka polskiego i wskazwek podanych w tym dokumencie naley cile
przestrzega.
Podczas pracy w rodowisku Across tumacz powinien zawsze mie wiadomo, jak cz tekstu
tumaczy: tekst gwny, tytu sekcji/grupy/bloku, legend, opis rysunku (caption), pozycj indeksu,
specyfikacj, odsyacz itp. Z tego powodu obowizkowe jest korzystanie z plikw PDF.
a. Sposb zwracania si do czytelnika
Naley uywa formy bezosobowej, a nie trybu rozkazujcego.
le: Wykr rub i zdemontuj wspornik.
Dobrze: Wykrci rub i zdemontowa wspornik.
Zawarto bazy CrossTank dla jzyka polskiego prawie w caoci jest w formie bezosobowej, uywanie
trybu rozkazujcego spowodowaoby powstanie powanych niespjnoci stylistycznych. Jedyny wyjtek
stanowi tumaczenie sowa see w zdaniach takich jak See Technical Manual for details, ktre naley
tumaczy jako patrz.
b. Tytuy sekcji/grupy/bloku
W odrnieniu od jzyka angielskiego, w jzyku polskim wielk liter naley pisa tylko pierwsze sowo
tytuu, reszt naley pisa ma liter (z wyjtkiem znakw towarowych, nazw wasnych, imion i
nazwisk).
le: Demonta Pompy Hydraulicznej
Dobrze: Demonta pompy hydraulicznej
74
Tytu sekcji
Tytu grupy
Tytu bloku
Kolejn kwesti, na ktr naley zwrci uwag podczas tumaczenia, jest rozrnienie tytuu od frazy ze
zwykego tekstu, poniewa w jzyku angielskim czsto maj one takie samo brzmienie. Na przykad tytu
Remove the Hydraulic Pump naley przetumaczy jako Demonta pompy hydraulicznej, natomiast
fraz Remove the hydraulic pump. ze zwykego tekstu jako Zdemontowa pomp hydrauliczn.. W
celu rozrnienia tytuw od fraz ze zwykego tekstu naley korzysta z pliku PDF oraz sprawdza, czy
wszystkie sowa s napisane wielk liter i czy na kocu znajduje si kropka. Nigdy w takich przypadkach
nie zatwierdza wysokich fuzzies bez dokadnego sprawdzenia segmentu.
Powysze zasady maj take zastosowanie do podblokw i krokw diagnostycznych, patrz przykady
poniej.
75
Podbloki
Kroki
diagnostyczne
c. Legendy, opisy rysunkw (captions), pozycje indeksu, specyfikacje i odsyacze
W odrnieniu od konwencji przyjtej w dokumentacji John Deere, w jzyku polskim wielk liter naley
pisa w przypadku legend, opisw rysunkw (captions), pozycji indeksu, specyfikacji i odsyaczy tylko
pierwsze sowo, reszt naley pisa ma liter.
1.Legendy
Przykad legendy w jzyku angielskim:
76
Naley zapewni spjno legendy z tekstem odnoszcym si do rysunku.
2.Opisy rysunkw (captions)

Przykad opisu rysunku (caption) w jzyku angielskim:
Opis rysunku (caption) to tekst opisujcy rysunek, jest on uywany zawsze w odniesieniu do rysunku. W
wikszoci przypadkw te opisy nie s widoczne w plikach PDF, ale s widoczne w aplikacji Service
ADVISORTM. Naley zapewni spjno opisu rysunku z tekstem odnoszcym si do rysunku.
3.Pozycje indeksu
Przykad pozycji indeksu w jzyku angielskim:
77
Naley zapewni spjno pozycji indeksu z tekstem dokumentu i spjno pozycji midzy sob, tak aby
nie generowa niepotrzebnych pozycji indeksu (np. tumaczenie Brake Housing raz jako Obudowa
hamulca a innym razem jako Obudowa hamulcw).
Pamita podczas tworzenia pozycji, e indeks jest zwykle pierwszym miejscem poszukiwania informacji
przez czytelnika, dlatego pozycje musz trafnie charakteryzowa przedmiot, do ktrego si odnosz. W
przypadku pozycji zoonych, jak na powyszym przykadzie, naley najpierw umieszcza nazw
elementu/podzespou, a nastpnie rodzaj wykonywanej czynnoci , np. Obudowa hamulca, monta.
4.Specyfikacje
Przykad specyfikacji w jzyku angielskim:
Naley zapewni spjno specyfikacji z tekstem dokumentu.
5.Odsyacze
Przykad odsyacza w jzyku angielskim:
Odsyacze to odwoania do tytuw innych blokw. Tekst odsyacza musi by zgodny z tytuem bloku, do
ktrego nastpuje odwoanie. Jeli dany blok nie stanowi czci tumaczonego dokumentu, naley
zapyta koordynatora projektu o prawidowe tumaczenie.
UWAGA: W przypadku odsyaczy nie stosuje si cudzysoww.
d. Przyciski, ikony, interfejs uytkownika
Nazwy przyciskw i ikon niezawierajcych tekstu, a tylko element graficzny, naley przetumaczy. Na
przykad Arrow Button naley tumaczy jako Przycisk strzaki.
78
W przypadku przyciskw i ikon zawierajcych tekst oraz tekstowych elementw interfejsu uytkownika
w jzyku angielskim naley zastosowa konwencj z zachowaniem oryginau, a nastpnie podaniem
tumaczenia w nawiasie, np.
Enter the menu item "Advanced Settings"

naley przetumaczy jako:
Wej do pozycji menu "Advanced Settings (Ustawienia zaawansowane)".
Jeli takie elementy tekstowe wystpuj wielokrotnie, mona zastosowa powysz konwencj raz (np.
w legendzie rysunku), a pniej stosowa ju tylko polskie tumaczenie.
W przypadku tekstowych elementw interfejsu uytkownika, ktre s na rysunkach pokazane w jzyku

polskim, naley dostosowa tumaczenie do rysunku, bez zachowywania oryginau. Jeli polskie
elementy interfejsu uytkownika pokazane na rysunkach s niskiej jakoci, niespjne itp., naley taki fakt
zgosi koordynatorowi projektu.
e. Cudzysowy, czniki, ppauzy, pauzy
1.Cudzysowy

Regulile de mai jos sunt specifice documentaiei John Deere i pot reflecta sau nu
regulile aplicabile ale Academiei. V rugm s respectai regulile descrise aici n toate
documentele John Deere.
a. Stilul
Utilizai un stil clar i concis. Evitai diatezele pasiv i reflexiv dac este posibil. Pentru proceduri i
instruciuni, utilizai imperativul.
b. Titlurile
1. Infinitivul lung
Titlurile utilizeaz ntotdeauna caractere aldine. Pentru titluri, utilizai infinitivul lung, indiferent de
forma verbal utilizat n surs, atunci cnd este cazul.
Sursa Incorect Corect
Check the wiring and Verificai cablajul i Verificarea cablajului i
connections conexiunile conexiunilor
Atenie la segmentele provenite din memorie! Dac fraza de mai sus a aprut anterior n corpul de text
(respectiv ca Verificai cablajul i conexiunile.), nu este suficient s tergei punctul de la sfrit.
Adaptai forma verbal la context.
2. Articolul hotrt
Utilizai articolul hotrt n titluri.
Maintenance ntreinere ntreinerea
Deseori, titlurile (afiate cu caractere aldine) sunt urmate de segmente identice, ns afiate cu caractere
normale. Acestea fac parte din indexul manualului; pentru a evita ncrcarea inutil a memoriei, utilizai
o traducere identic (respectiv, cu articol hotrt).
c. Diacriticele
Diacriticele utilizate n documentaia John Deere sunt cele cu sedil (, ). Dei regulile Academiei prevd
utilizarea diacriticelor cu virgul (, ), acestea creeaz probleme de afiare n pdf-urile generate. Prin
urmare, este necesar s utilizai diacriticele cu sedil (tastatura Legacy din Windows, nu tastatura
Standard). Dac preferai s utilizai tastatura Standard, avei la dispoziie dou metode pentru a v
asigura c textul final va conine diacritice Legacy:
I
Dup ce ncheiai traducerea/revizuirea fiecrui fiier, nlocuii diacriticele Standard cu diacritice Legacy
folosind funcia de cutare i nlocuire din Across (Ctrl+Shift+H). Nu uitai s utilizai corespunztor
opiunea Match case.
83
II (metoda recomandat)
n Across, mergei la Tools > Profile Settings > CrossDesk > Target Editor > Auto-Replace > Add i
adugai urmtoarele elemente:
Replace With

Across va nlocui automat diacriticele Standard cu diacritice Legacy.

Diacriticele , i nu sunt afectate de aceast problem.
d. Numerele, unitile de msur i intervalele numerice
1. Ordinea unitilor
Ordinea corect a unitilor este SI (Imperial). Unitile de msur SI trebuie traduse n romn;
avei grij s respectai conveniile SI (de exemplu, pentru litru se va folosi l mic, nu L mare, iar
pentru centimetri cubi se va folosi cm3, nu cc). Pentru unitile SI, separatorul zecimal este
virgula.
2. Unitile imperiale
Unitile imperiale vor rmne exact aa cum sunt n surs, iar separatorul zecimal pentru
valorile numerice ale acestora este punctul.
1.5 m (59.05 in.) 1,5 m (59,05 in) 1,5 m (59.05 in)

24.5 L/min (6.5 gpm) 24,5 L/min (6.5 gal/min) 24,5 l/min (6.5 gpm)
3. Pluralul unitilor de msur

Dac o unitate de msur apare cu numele ntreg, nu ca abreviere, folosii formele de singular i
plural conform necesitilor.
6 bar 6 bar 6 bari
4. Separatorii coreci
Asigurai-v c utilizai separatorii coreci. Pentru fiierele mari care conin multe valori numerice,
este recomandat urmtoarea metod:
- n timpul traducerii, folosii virgula ca separator zecimal pentru toate valorile. Alternativ, putei
lsa punctul ca separator, nlocuindu-l cu virgula la sfritul traducerii dup cum urmeaz:
utilizai funcia de cutare i nlocuire (Ctrl+Shift+H) pentru a nlocui .0 cu ,0, .1 cu ,1, .2 cu ,2 etc.
84
- Odat ce toate valorile numerice au virgula ca separator zecimal, facei clic dreapta pe opiunea
de verificare a datelor, orelor i valorilor numerice din seciunea de verificare din panoul din
stnga i alegei Check now. n acest mod, vei verifica numai valorile numerice, nu i formatul
numerelor, i vei evita afiarea a numeroase alarme false cauzate de utilizarea punctului ca
separator zecimal.
- Dup ce v asigurai c toate valorile numerice sunt corecte, utilizai din nou funcia de cutare i
nlocuire (Ctrl+Shift+H) pentru a nlocui ,0 cu .0, ,1 cu .1, ,2 cu .2 etc. numai pentru unitile
imperiale. Acest lucru este posibil graie funciei de cutare i nlocuire din Across, care permite
selectarea separat a segmentelor pentru nlocuire.
Procesul pare complicat, ns dureaz ~10 minute pentru un fiier mare, cu sute de valori
numerice. Dac nu utilizai aceast metod, v putei confrunta cu un numr mare de alarme
false la verificarea numerelor, ceea ce va consuma mai mult timp i va spori riscul de eroare.
Nu utilizai separatoare de mii.
5. Spaiul dintre numr i unitatea de msur

Introducei ntotdeauna un spaiu ntre numr i unitatea de msur, cu excepia unitilor procent
(%) i grad (). Acestea nu sunt desprite de numrul care le preced. Nu utilizai niciodat spaii
neseparatoare (hard space).
Incorect Corect
50cm 50 cm
10 C 10C
10 C 10 C
10 % 10%
6. Intervalele numerice
Pentru intervalele numerice, utilizai liniua en-dash (, Alt+0150), fr spaii nainte i dup
aceasta.
Incorect Corect
50 - 100 cm 50100 cm

7. Alte reguli
Nu repetai unitatea de msur.
Incorect Corect
25 mm31 mm 2531 mm
85
Pe lng rolul de cratim, utilizai liniua scurt (-) ca semn minus (de ex. -10C).
Pentru intervalele de temperatur n care se utilizeaz semnele plus i minus, nu utilizai liniua
en-dash, ci formula de la la, pentru a evita confuziile.
Incorect Corect
-5+20C De la -5 la +20C
e. Majusculele i literele mici
n englez, majusculele sunt folosite mult mai frecvent dect n limba romn. Nu utilizai majuscule
dect atunci cnd acest lucru este necesar n romn.
Incorect Corect
Senzor de Temperatur Senzor de temperatur
Deseori, termenii ON i OFF sunt scrii cu majuscule n surs. Nu este necesar s utilizai majusculele n
romn pentru traducerea acestora.
Ignition is OFF. Contactul este OPRIT. Contactul este oprit.
Numai n cazul titlurilor, utilizai o majuscul dup linia de pauz (en-dash precedat i urmat de
spaiu).
Incorect Corect
Service la fiecare 50 de ore Service La fiecare 50 de ore
Aceast regul nu se aplic i n corpul de text.
Nu utilizai majuscule pentru a traduce termeni precum Section i Group.

Incorect Corect
Consultai Seciunea 40, Grupul 8. Consultai seciunea 40, grupul 8.
f. Ghilimelele
Utilizai ghilimelele englezeti ( sau ""). Indiferent de varianta aleas, utilizai-o consecvent n ntregul
document (mai exact, asigurai consecvena nu doar la nivelul fiecrui fiier, ci la nivelul tuturor
fiierelor care vor compune un singur document, de exemplu un manual de utilizare). Dat fiind c
ghilimelele sunt introduse cu ajutorul codurilor Alt+0147 i Alt+0148, este mai uor (i, prin urmare,
recomandat) s utilizai ghilimelele drepte "".

g. Termeni preferai
Mai jos sunt indicate traducerile preferate pentru civa dintre termenii care apar frecvent n
documentaia John Deere. Traducerile de evitat nu sunt neaprat incorecte; tabelul de mai jos are n
