&gt;<i> I have no other community now. And this is our community. You and I use
</I>&gt;<i> the same native language -- Chinese, though we use different Chinese
</I>&gt;<i> characters. (I don't mind if you use the traditional Chinse characters,
</I>&gt;<i> and I also can read them because I am interested in ancient books.)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &quot;&#20998;&#21449;&quot; can be used as &quot;a fork of a road&quot;, but &quot;&#20998;&#25903;&quot; is used as &quot;a branch of
</I>&gt;<i> a tree&quot;, right? However, &quot;fork&quot; also has a meaning &quot;branch&quot; in many
</I>&gt;<i> dictionaries. There is another difficult word &quot;hack&quot;, and it is also
</I>&gt;<i> difficult to be exactly translated into Chinese.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> You can directly modify my Chinese translation (Skiper had sent it to
</I>&gt;<i> the site), or put your Chinese translation on the site's front page. I
</I>&gt;<i> wish to see a Chinese page in the site. :)

&quot;&#34893;&#29983;&quot; may be more like the word &quot;derivative&quot;, but for &quot;fork&quot; here I think the 
meaning is not too far.

I just read again the traditional Chinese translations for the Mageia 
announce.  &quot;Forking&quot; here our translators used &quot;&#20998;&#25903;&quot;.  Actually they are all 
almost the same meanings, and I don't think it necessary to use different to 
&quot;tell apart&quot; from them all.

BTW, I don't know if it is appropriate to discuss these translations on 
discuss mailing list, or even i18n mailing list, since these discussions are 
for certain langauge.  Here in Taiwan we formed a google group for mageia 
Taiwan users for discussing.  Maybe you can try to form one too.
