Allow me to insist on my bracket [in Klammern] suggestion - the fact that the menus AND help patches are not localised in any other language than English makes it vital to have both a rendering of the meaning (= translation) and a reference to the original keyword. I have been teaching Pd in China and Malaysia and I am fully aware of the extreme value of a translation of the text body.

I disagree. Translations are made for people who aren't already polyglot. As Winfried said, let's strive to make the translations better. The suggestion Jurgen Frenz made is sensible though: translating it and put the original name in brackets.

Hi all,
I had started this thread because of the terrible situation where you are teaching Pd to people, who have different language settings. It artificially confuses everyone involved without any gain. Everything that is in the "Put" menu should be uniform across all languages and match the terminology in the help patches. The same applies for other terms such as "patch" etc.
This is really important and reduces the cognitive load of people new to Pd and learning it.
best, P
