Please, do not translate type names between <type> and </type> (as well as
function names between <function> and</function>), because in this case
after compiling manual relative link will not be inserted (inserting occurs
when type name out of <methodsynopsis> element).
Also I think that we shouldn't translate type names in function reference.
There is several arguments for that:
- When you do type casting you using '(integer)', '(array)' and so on. Not
'(ÃÅÌÏÅ)' or '(ÍÁÓÓÉ×)'.
- When programmer uses some of variable functions (like var_dump(),
print_r() or gettype()) all of them return non-Russian names as well
(include here settype()).
- Many of PHP programmers already know about this standard types from other
languages.
Thus for clearer understanding I think we should leave type names not
translated in function syntax description. However within other text (not
between <type> and </type>) they can be translated.
- At last, programmers themselves (almost all whom I know) second this
opinion.
So it seems to be that tronic is only who whants to translate them ;)
