Use terms people use in daily life, even in transliterated form.
When no simple, easy-to-understand Odia word exists, use the English word in transliteration.
Transliterate technical words when the regional language has no correct word. Keep plain English to a minimum and prefer transliteration. Prepare a list and discuss it.
The transliterated term must be one target users use in daily life.

Use gender-neutral alternatives for common terms. Avoid compounds with gender-specific terms (ପୁରୁଷୁଷ, ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ, ଇତ୍ୟାଦିୟାଦି).
ବାଳକ ଛାତ୍ର / ାଳକ ଛାତ୍ର / ବାଳିକା ଛାତ୍ରାଳିକା ଛାତ୍ର -> ଛାତ୍ର. Do not use gender-specific terms for student. Gender-neutral terms widely used in Odia help here.
ପୁରୁଷ ୁଷ ଇଞ୍ଜିନିୟର / / ମହିଳା ଇଞ୍ଜିନିୟର -> ଇଞ୍ଜିନିୟର. Use the translation for engineer without naming a gender.

ଛାତ୍ର -> ଛାତ୍ରମାନେ. Odia has no gender-specific pronouns. Use the plural form when addressing people at large.
Focus on people, not disabilities. No words that imply pity, such as ଏକ ଅକ୍ଷମତା କିମ୍ବା ା ଯେକୌଣସି ରୋଗରେ ପୀଡିତଗରେ ପୀଡିତ.
Do not mention a disability unless it is relevant.

en Click -> Select; or କ୍ଲିକ୍ କରନ୍ତୁନ୍ତୁ -> ଚୟନୟନ କରନ୍ତୁନ୍ତୁ
Short paragraphs, simple sentence structure. Aim for one verb per sentence.
Read text aloud. Imagine it spoken by a screen reader.
Spell out words like ଏବଂ, ସହିତ ଏବଂ ସମ୍ୱନ୍ଧରେ. Screen readers misread &, +, ~.
You may need to abbreviate words in the UI, mainly button or option names, for lack of space.
ଉଦାହରଣଣ -> ଉ.ଦା.
ବିଶେଷ୍ୟୟ -> ବି.ି.

Many abbreviations and acronyms are standardized and stay untranslated. Add the full English spelling only when the acronym needs explaining to speakers of another language. For a common acronym the spelled-out form only confuses users, so use the acronym alone.
Do not localize or spell out: ANSI (American National Standards Institute), ISO (International Standards Organization).
If you are unsure what an acronym stands for, contact the linguist responsible for this guide.
English error messages vary in their use of articles, demonstrative and possessive pronouns. Be consistent in Odia.
Odia has no articles.
Two demonstrative pronouns occur with inanimate nouns: e-this and se-that. Other variants are e/ehi/se/sei.
Possessive pronouns are mu, tumara, Tara, eha, amar.
en File already exists, The file already exists, This file already exists -> or ଫାଇଲ୍ ପୂର୍ବରୁ ଅଛିୁ ଅଛି. In complete sentences use determiners consistently even when the source does not.

Avoid the possessive marker your unless ownership matters in context.
Non-translated feature names take no definite or indefinite article, as in English. A genitive s on a trademarked product name is not feasible; it reads as a modification of the name. Add to a product or component name with a hyphen, or use a periphrastic construction.
Microsoft's products is wrong. Use Microsoft products or Products by Microsoft.
Treat product names and unlocalized feature names as proper nouns.

For an English loan word, check motivation (does the word integrate into the noun class system), analogy (is there an equivalent Odia term whose article fits), frequency (what article do other technical documents use). The internet can help.
Confirm the article of a new loan word against approved terminology.
English uses the before some words. Odia does not use the article. en The Homepage -> or ମୂଳପୃଷ୍ଠା
Keep compounds understandable and clear. Avoid overly long or complex compounds. Unintuitive compounds are an intelligibility and usability problem.
Express the relationship among compound components verbally instead of building a long compound.
Noun and verb compounds are frequent in English. Not all languages compound to create complex meanings.
An Odia compound noun is not a juxtaposition of two independent words but a construction with an underlying semantic structure.
Most compounds are subordinate constructions, where one constituent modifies the other, and are endocentric. The second type is a coordinate construction.
Odia words fall into three etymological types: Tatasom, tadbhava, desaja.
Modification by a noun in the accusative case. The case marker is deleted in the compound: machha-ku dhara-fish to catching, machhadhara-fish catching.
Modification by a base with pai-for: khaiba pai tela- eating for oil
Modification by a base with the instrumental case marker -dwara or -re: Machin re buna-machine woven
Ablative case marker -ru: bilata ru feranta-foreign from return
Genitive case marker -ra: phala ra rasa- fruit of juice
Words joining two parts of a compound are deleted: Suna tiari hara- gold made chain
Coordinate compound: the bases are joined by o/au: poka o joka-worm and leech
Idiomatic compound: the bases lose their independent meanings and refer to a new meaning: akasa-sky-ganga-river=akasaganga-milky-way
en Internet Accounts -> or ଇଣ୍ଟରନେଟ୍ ଆକାଉଣ୍ଟସ୍ସ୍

Product names are usually trademarked and must stay unchanged. Add to a product or component name with a hyphen, or build a periphrastic construction.
en Windows password -> or Windows ପାସଓ୍ୱାର୍ଡ

Gender is not grammatical in Odia. Only animate subjects distinguish gender. Sex indicates gender, marked by qualifying terms, different words, or a suffix.
Recognize the audience's sensitivity to male and female stereotypes. Use language as neutral as possible instead of stressing gender differences. The neutral approach also covers scenarios, comparisons, examples, illustrations, metaphors.
Balance roles and functions between men and women: active vs. passive, leading vs. secondary, technical vs. non-technical professions. Base scenarios, pictures, metaphors and comparisons on areas and attributes common to both genders.
Use a general term that covers both genders, such as people, users, persons, instead of naming the two genders separately.
Avoid sentences that refer to a single person of unknown gender. Make the subject plural. Where a single-person reference is unavoidable, do not use he or she, him or her, his or hers.
Generally avoid slashes to combine both genders, with the exceptions below.
Use a neutral noun: ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି,ନେତାତା, ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ ଷ୍ଠୀ, for concept descriptions and explanations.
Combine both genders in one common word: ନେତୃତ୍ୱତୃତ୍ୱ,ଦକ୍ଷ,କର୍ମଚାରୀୀ,ବ୍ୟବହାରକାରୀୀ
ସେ only in exceptional cases such as License Terms, and sometimes in tables (headers, column or row titles).
Odia does not distinguish gender on nouns and pronouns. There is no grammatical gender, only lexical gender.
Noun: Buddha (ବୁଢା) ୁଢା) -budhhi (ବୁଢୀ)ୁଢୀ), Abhinetaa ( ଅଭିନେତା)ତା)-Abhinetri (ଅଭିନେତ୍ରୀ)ତ୍ରୀ), Sikhyaka-sikhyayitri (ଶିକ୍ଷକିକ୍ଷକ-ଶିକ୍ଷୟିତ୍ରୀ)ିକ୍ଷୟିତ୍ରୀ). Lexically the gender changes.

English loan words must fit the noun class system. For a loan word not used before, check motivation (formally motivated features allowing straightforward integration; yes in Odia, but not always), analogy (an equivalent Odia term justifying the assigned noun class; in Odia analogy refers to partial similarity and is a noun), frequency (the noun class used most often in other technical documentation). The internet can help.

Bangla and Assamese are neighboring sister languages, but Odia has its own flavor and is not confused with them. Bangla and Odia are mutually intelligible, which does not stop Odia from being a separate and distinct language.
Comma , separates several names or items written consecutively, and marks short pauses.
The comma marks the smallest interruption in continuity of thought or sentence structure. A few rules of use are almost obligatory. Otherwise use good judgement.
Colon uses the same sign as English. : usually follows an interjection or exclamation to mark strong feeling.

Hyphen - divides words between syllables, links parts of a compound word, and connects parts of an inverted or imperative verb form. Odia uses the same sign as English: ଇ-ମେଲ୍, ଡ୍ରପ୍-ଡାଉନ୍
En dash – (Alt+0150) structures the sentence, marks a clause that sums up the previous clauses, and divides the sentence more clearly. It is the minus sign (space before the numeral: 225 – 17), marks negative values (no space before the numeral: –9 °C), and marks number ranges such as page numbers: 1–10
Em dash is not used in the standard form of writing.
Ellipsis use is identical and not specific; no protocol exists. When a story, novel or other literature stays incomplete in one edition or chapter and the rest is expected in the next version, write Continue (କ୍ରମଶଃ... ଃ...) at the end.
ଆଇକନ୍ ପରିବର୍ତ୍ତନ କରନ୍ତୁ...ନ୍ତୁ...
Use the ellipsis only when the writing stays incomplete and the remainder comes later in the next page, chapter, edition or version, with words like continue/so on (କ୍ରମଶଃ/ଏହିପରି...ି...). In exceptional cases, where space is short and there is much content to include, use ellipses …
en Continue.... -> or କ୍ରମଶଃ... ଃ..., when writings such as story, novel and other literature remain incomplete in one edition or chapter.
Period . marks a full stop at the end of declarative sentences and other complete statements, and after many abbreviations: ମୋତେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଏହି ପ୍ରୋଗ୍ରାମ୍ ପାଇଁ ସତର୍କତା ଦେଖାନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ.ଖାନ୍ତୁ ନାହିଁ.
Odia has its own full stop mark ।, placed at the end of declarative sentences and other complete statements.
Always use the local । between adjoining messages, for example where a string is two sentences or phrases.
End a long or punctuated sentence with the local full stop. For translation, follow the English exactly and replace the full stop with the local version wherever it occurs.
Any full sentence, with full or reduced grammar, takes a final full stop or other punctuation.
Sentence fragments, headers, button names, menu items and other non-sentences take no full stop, exclamation mark or question mark, except some TTS strings and single-word past-tense strings or sentences in Tizen noti-pops.
Strings with design type NPBODY never take a full stop, even a full sentence.
The full stop belongs inside parentheses that enclose an independent sentence. When the enclosed matter ends an including sentence, the period goes outside the parentheses.
Odia has two quotation marks: single inverted commas ‘… ’ and double inverted commas “… ”. In Odia they are called ଉଦ୍ଧୃତି ଚିହ୍ନ/ ିହ୍ନ/udhruti chinnha/. They come as a pair of opening and closing marks in either style.
“… ” denotes speech or a quotation.
'… ' denotes speech or a quotation.
Parentheses or brackets that enclose an independent sentence take the period inside. When the enclosed matter ends an including sentence, the period goes outside: florelli instead on rewriting the paragraph. (I had encountered this intransigence on another occasion.)
Sentence fragments convey a conversational tone. Short and to the point. en Use the following steps. -> en Here's how

The subjunctive expresses an action or state in the context of the speaker's reaction to it: doubt, uncertainty, denial, desire or wish, commands, reactions, or a strong emotional attitude.
In Odia the subjunctive mood pairs the past tense with hoithante (ହୋଇଥାନ୍ତେ).
en If my father was a teacher, he would teach me. -> or ଯଦି ମୋ ବାପା ଜଣେ ଶିକ୍ଷକ ିକ୍ଷକ ହୋଇଥାନ୍ତେ ତେବେ ସେ ମୋତେ ପଠା ପଢାଇଥନ୍ତେ । ।
Use simple tenses. Simple present by default. Avoid future tense unless the event really is in the future and simple present does not work. Simple past for events already done.
An English verb can be a loan word in the target language, following the target language's syntactic and morphological rules.

en Send—Sending -> or ପ୍ରେରଣ – ପ୍ରେରଣ କରୁଛିୁଛି
en Edit—Editing -> or ସଂପାଦନ – ସମ୍ପାଦନ କରୁଛି ୁଛି
en Delete—Deleting -> or ବିଲୋପ ପ – ବିଲୋପ କରୁଛି.ୁଛି.
Adapt translated text to local language, customs, standards.
The language must have the look and feel of text originally written in Odia, with idiomatic syntax and terminology, and high terminological consistency.
Error messages tell the user of an error that must be corrected for the program to keep running. They can prompt an action or say a reboot is needed.
Make the target natural and empathetic, not robot-like.
en Something went wrong. -> or କିଛି ଭୁଲ୍ ହୋଇଛି।ଇଛି।
en Not enough memory to process this command. -> or ଏହି ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ପ୍ରକ୍ରିୟାରତ କରିବାକୁ ାକୁ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟାପ୍ତ ମେମୋରୀ ନାହିଁ ।ୀ ନାହିଁ ।
Use consistent terminology and style. Do not just translate the US string.
Odia has no specific style for error messages. The main principles are clarity, comprehensibility, consistency.
en Can't rename "Pictures" because a file or folder with that name already exists -> or "ଛବି" ପୁନଃନାମ କରିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ କାରଣ ଏକ ଫାଇଲ୍ କିମ୍ଵାଵା ଫୋଲ୍ଡର୍ ସେହି ନାମର ପୂର୍ବରୁ ୁ ବିଦ୍ୟମାନ ରହିଛିହିଛି
Use the target phrases below for standard phrases. Other wording is fine when it works better in context.
en Cannot, Could not; example File could not be found, File cannot be found -> or ଫାଇଲ୍ ଖୋଲିହେବ ନାହିଁ ନାହିଁ
en Failed to..., Failure of...; example Failed to connect, Failure to connect -> or ସମ୍ପର୍କ ସ୍ଥାପନ କରିବାରେ ବିଫଳ ଳ ହେଲାଲା
en Cannot find…, Could not find..., Unable to find..., Unable to locate...; example Cannot find driver software, Could not find driver software, Unable to find driver software, Unable to locate driver software -> or ଡ୍ରାଇଭର୍ ସଫ୍ଟଓ୍ୱେୟାର ଖୋଜିପାରୁ ୁ ନାହିଁ
en Not enough memory, Insufficient memory, There is not enough memory, There is not enough memory available -> or ଯଥେଷ୍ଟ ମେମୋରି ନାହିଁି ନାହିଁ
en … is not available, ... is unavailable; example The command is not available, The command is unavailable -> or ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ମିଳୁ ନାହିଁ ମିଳୁ ନାହିଁ
For placeholders, find out what replaces them so the sentence stays grammatical.
%d, %ld, %u, %lu mean <number>
%c means <letter>
%s means <string>
"Checking Web %1!d! of %2!d!" means "Checking Web <number> of <number>."
"INI file "%1!-.200s!" section" means "INI file "<string>" section."
Placeholder text is filled in by the operating system when the message is shown.
The disk in drive %c: cannot be formatted. becomes The disk in drive C: cannot be formatted.
Most source strings carry instructions saying what text replaces the placeholder.
In Odia the numeral placeholders typically precede the noun.
en in %d days -> or %d ଦିନରେ
en %d minutes -> or %d ମିନିଟ୍ରେ
%d, %ld, %u, %lu show a number (such as 3 or 512).
%c shows a letter (such as f or s).
%s shows a string (such as Click here to continue.).
Where adjectives agree with nouns and the noun is a placeholder, you need to know the exact string in the placeholder so a preceding adjective inflects correctly. Most source strings already avoid modifying a placeholder with an adjective. Where a noun subject and verb agree, reword the translation to avoid an ungrammatical sentence.
en Replace invalid %s?, shown as Replace invalid data? or Replace invalid file? -> or ଅବୈଧ %ୈଧ %s ବଦଳାଅଦଳାଅ?
en %s already exists, shown as File already exists or Name already exists -> or %s ପୂର୍ବରୁ ରହିଛିହିଛି
en %s is now set as your personal contact., shown as Regina is now set as your personal contact or Mr. Kim is now set as your personal contact -> or ଆପଣଙ୍କର ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଗତ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଗତ ଠିକଣାରେ%s ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ସେଟ୍ ହୋଇଛନ୍ତିାଇଛନ୍ତି ।
en %s stopped working and was closed, shown as The application stopped working and was closed or The program stopped working and was closed -> or %s କାର୍ଯ୍ୟ କରିବା ବନ୍ଦ କରିଛି ଏବଂ ଂ ବନ୍ଦ ହୋଇଯାଇଛିଯାଇଛି
Underlined or highlighted letters in menu options, commands or dialog boxes are keyboard shortcuts. They help the user work faster. Examples: New, Cancel, Options.
Keyboard shortcuts are key combinations such as ALT+F or Ctrl+S that move focus to a menu, command, or control without the mouse.
Odia follows the InScript keyboard. Odia is supported by several phonetic editors, transliteration software, and text editors.
Do not localize the InScript keyboard. A localized version would not match other Indic languages, and transliteration support in native search engines, text editors and mail websites means the keyboard is little used outside desktop publishing.
Soft keyboards are used instead where transliteration complexity is a problem.
Slim characters (I, l, t, r, f) allowed as keyboard shortcuts, but Odia characters cannot be called slim compared with Roman ones.
Characters with downstrokes (g, j, y, p, q): not allowed. Odia characters are written with a kind of downward movement, not a simple down stroke.
Extended characters: not allowed. Odia conjuncts, combinations of two consonants, cannot be shortcuts. Odia simple letters (ଫ, ହ) do not count as extensions of other simple letters.
An additional letter in brackets after the item name: not allowed. Such letters, where they occur, cannot be shortcuts.
A number in brackets after the item name: allowed. Numbers can be keyboard shortcuts.
A punctuation sign in brackets after the item name: not allowed. Punctuation marks are not needed as shortcuts; many clear simple letters serve that purpose.
Duplicate keyboard shortcuts when no other character is available: allowed, with instruction.
No keyboard shortcut assigned when no characters remain (minor options only): not allowed.
Only single stroke characters can be shortcuts. Odia has only 19 single stroke characters, so numbers are allowed too.
Access key: a subtype of keyboard shortcut. A letter or number the user types to reach UI controls with text labels. Assigned to top-level controls for fast keyboard movement through the UI. Example: F in Alt+F. In UI localization: H&ome. Most access keys are used with Alt.
Key tip: the letter or number shown in the ribbon when Alt is pressed. In UI localization it is the last character after the ` character. Example: Home`H
Shortcut key: a subtype of keyboard shortcut. A key the user types to do a common action without going through the UI. Not available for every command. Examples: Ctrl+N, Ctrl+V. Most shortcut keys use Ctrl. Ctrl+letter combinations and function keys F1 through F12 are usually the best choices.
Match tone to the target audience. Informal, playful, inspiring for most products and games. Formal, informative, factual for technical texts.
Tone should be formal. Address the intended user with the appropriate tone, level of grammar and formality, and reading level. Keep it easy to understand.
