The description isn't very detailed, but where do these strings come from, and what's the licence for using them?

- oleganza 14y agoYou can look at the strings, but thou shalt not use them or even memorize them.
- onetwothreefour 14y agoThese are just a dump of the .lproj/.strings on an OS X/iOS system. So technically, Apple owns the copyright on them, and this app is merely presenting them for educational purposes. Also, the licensing is dubious at best.

- dchest 14y agoMicrosoft provides standardized terminology collection in different languages, which is useful for UI translators http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Terminology.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/Language/en-US/Terminology.aspx (e.g. it's useful to know whether Microsoft translates "Start" button to Russian as "Старт" or "Пуск" -- without knowing the exact term, most translators will probably choose the former, while MS uses the latter). I guess this app wants to provide similar collection, but for Apple's terminology.
