Translation glossary
Standard terms for consistent Finnish (and other) translations. Use this when editing translations/fi/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po or scripts/update_fi_translations.py.
Person-month (PM)
When PM refers to person-month (capacity unit), use:
| English | Finnish |
|---|---|
| PM (abbreviation) | HTKK |
| PMs | HTKK:t |
| person-month | henkilötyökuukausi |
| person-months | henkilötyökuukaudet |
HTKK = henkilötyökuukausi (person work-month).
Exception: When PM means Project Manager (a role type, e.g. "add at least one type (e.g. PM, Developer)"), keep PM as-is in Finnish—it is a role code, not a capacity unit.
Other common terms
| English | Finnish |
|---|---|
| WP (work package) | TP (työpakkaus) |
| WBS (work breakdown structure) | TJR (työnjakorakenne) |
| POO (Project Owner Organisation) | POO (keep; Projektin omistava organisaatio) |
| FTE | FTE (keep) |
Applying the glossary
- When translating new strings, check this glossary first.
- The
scripts/update_fi_translations.pyFI dict follows these rules; run it after extract/update to fill Finnish msgstr. - For manual edits to
messages.po, ensure PM (person-month) → HTKK consistently.
