"Fedora Cloud" shouldn't, but "base image" should. In fact, if it helps, it might be appropriate to put the translated word cloud into "base image" — that is, "Fedora Cloud [foundational cloud system image]". I'm far from an expert here, but "image" should use the word used for virtual machine images, if that's different from photographs. (In English, it's "image" in the sense of "exact reproduction / likeness" rather than "picture".) Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the tools used here, really. Might it be easier to have a wiki page with notes for translators?

After I view the whole po file again, the example I took seems not a good one :) But it can reflect that confusion occurs sometime. This string tells us that they are public keys. #: data/content/keys/index.html:21 msgid "" "This page lists the public GPG keys used for signing packages in Fedora." So we can conclude that keys related to packages signing in the po file should be public keys. Then what about this one: #: data/content/verify.html:75 162msgid "Next, import Fedora's GPG key(s):" We may not sure whether it is a public or private at once. > So I hope you can put this kind of simple explanation into comment part of > the string in future, so every translator can see them and know what should > be translated or whether the words should be translated. I'm not familiar with the tools used here, really. Might it be easier to have a wiki page with notes for translators? This is not a good choice. The better way is integrate them into po files. Although I don't know how to make this happen. -- Regards, Tian Shixiong Fedora Project Contributor

Then what about this one: #: data/content/verify.html:75 162 msgid "Next, import Fedora's GPG key(s):" We may not sure whether it is a public or private at once.

Hi all, While translating getfedora.org, I got confused about the various variants "Fedora Cloud Base Images". By the way, we do translate "Fedora Atomic" or we don´t translate it?

"Atomic" comes from Project Atomic: http://projectatomic.io So treat this the same way you would treat other project names that are not Fedora. In other words, "Fedora Atomic" is not a single term. Here it means, an Atomic offering by the Fedora project.
