Dear Maintainer,
there was some discussion among the German DDTP translators targeted at
the translation of "Lotus Sametime Community Client protocol".
Description: open implementation of the Lotus Sametime Community Client
protocol
This library provides the basic Lotus Sametime Community Client session
functionality along with the core services; Presence, Messaging, and
Conferencing.
I found (1)
Lotus Sametime Connect, the client component of Lotus Sametime, ... uses
a proprietary protocol named Virtual Places, but also offers support for
standard protocols ...
I have to admit that I did not dig deeper yet because it's more fun
translating clear
descriptions without the need for further research. So - once again:
How to translate "Lotus Sametime Community Client protocol"?
- Is there a software named "Lotus Sametime Community Client"?
Then you meant "Client's protocol"?
As the first result for googling the expression (2) is the
libmeanwhile site I'm afraid that there is no such software.
- Are you talking about Lotus Sametime Connect?
In this case "Lotus Sametime Connect protocol" might be an option.
Hopefully other translators as well will understand "The protocol
used by
the software named "Lotus Sametime Connect".
BTW, the wikipedia wording is funny somehow. If the client component of
some client/server software uses a specific protocol the server *has* to
understand and use it as well.
- Copied once more (from Wikipedia and description):
IBM Lotus Sametime is a client–server application and middleware
platform that provides real-time, unified communications and
collaboration for enterprises.
This library provides the basic Lotus Sametime Community Client
session functionality along with the core services; Presence,
Messaging, and Conferencing.
Intentionally misunderstanding/dumb: What is the the difference
between basic session functionality and core services such as
Conferencing and Messaging. Where to place session management?
An answer to this question would be a plain enumeration of the
functions that the library provides.
Kind regards,
Martin
