FreeCrawl SEO — UI Translation Glossary
The interface ships in 11 languages. At roughly 2,400 strings per locale, the biggest quality risk is not mistranslation but inconsistency — "crawl" rendered three different ways inside one language makes the product read as machine-translated. This file is the reference every locale is written against.
Scope: the terms below recur across the whole UI (sidebar, column headers, settings, dialogs, reports). One-off phrasing is left to the translator's judgement.
1. Terms kept in English in every locale
These are protocol names, file names, standards, and metric acronyms. They are what the user searches the web for, and translating them makes the UI harder to use, not easier.

2. Core vocabulary

3. Style rules per locale
- es / pt-BR / fr / it — use the infinitive for button labels and menu
actions (
Exportar,Exporter,Esportare→ but prefer the established UI convention:Exportar/Exporter/Esporta). Address the user in the register each locale already ships:esanditusetú/tuimperatives (Abre…,Apri…),frusesvous(Ouvrez…) andpt-BRusesvocê(Abra…). Keep new strings in that register — switching register inside one language reads as machine translation. - ru — button labels are imperative verbs or verbal nouns
(
Экспорт,Остановить). Respect the three plural forms (_one/_few/_many/_other). - tr / az — button labels are verbal nouns (
Dışa Aktar,Durdur). Neither language inflects a noun after a numeral, so both plural categories carry identical text. Azerbaijani is not Turkish: prefer native forms (keçidnotbağlantı,sorğunotistek,parametrlərnotayarlar) and watch for false friends. - zh-CN — Simplified characters, no spaces around CJK text, full-width
punctuation (，。：) inside prose but keep ASCII punctuation around Latin
tokens and in technical strings. One plural category only (
_other). - ko — use
-기verbal nouns for buttons (내보내기,저장하기→ prefer the shorter저장). Formal-습니다register in prose. One plural category only (_other). - hi — Devanagari. Keep widely-used English loanwords in Latin script when
that is what practitioners actually write (
URL,SEO,क्रॉल). Two plural categories (_one/_other).
4. Plural categories by locale
i18next selects the form via Intl.PluralRules, so each locale must supply
exactly the categories CLDR defines for it. Verified against Node's ICU
rather than from memory — several of these are counter-intuitive:
| Locale | Categories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| en, tr, az | _one, _other |
0 → other |
| hi | _one, _other |
0 → one ("0 पृष्ठ", singular) |
| es, it | _one, _many, _other |
0 → other; _many fires at 10⁶ |
| fr, pt-BR | _one, _many, _other |
0 → one; _many at 10⁶ |
| ru | _one, _few, _many, _other |
1/21/31 → one; 2–4/22–24 → few; 0/5–20 → many; fractions → other |
| zh-CN, ko | _other |
no grammatical number |
Two consequences worth remembering:
_manyis not "a lot of" in the Romance locales — it fires only from 1,000,000, where Spanish and Portuguese insertde("1.000.000 de URL"). Omitting it falls back to_other, which is merely slightly wrong at that scale, not broken.- Russian
_otheris for non-integers only. The form a Russian user actually sees for 0 and for 5–20 is_many, so_manymust read naturally — it is the most common form in practice, not an edge case.
A missing category falls back to _other; a category CLDR does not define for
a locale is dead weight and is never selected.
