"衍生" may be more like the word "derivative", but for "fork" here I think the meaning is not too far. I just read again the traditional Chinese translations for the Mageia announce. "Forking" here our translators used "分支". Actually they are all almost the same meanings, and I don't think it necessary to use different to "tell apart" 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. Franklin
