Re: "migration tool"

דווקא הגירה לא נשמע כל כך גרוע

Subject: Re: [kde-il] "migration tool"


Your signature reminds me of the Smurfs intro in Hebrew "לפני הרבה הרבה שנים, בתוך יער עבות..."
 
I think MS called it "אשף העברת הקבצים והתיקיות" probably the word Migration gave them hard time with non technologically developed languages
 
Migration by system admins is simply called "מיגרציה" especially when talking about mail servers and stuff
 
הגירה is religious related so using it would be a little problematic
 
כלי להעברת נתונים sounds a bit better although it is fairly long
 
Sorry to hear about your job! and I hope that everything will be fine!

Hi Folks:

I announce that I am not dead. I have a bit of time and am translation kaboom,
Debian's "KDE 3->4 migration tool". (If I don't find a new job, then soon I
will have plenty of time to devote to translation. :( ) So, I need to
translation "migration tool". Any suggestions? The best I could come with
were "כלי מעבר" or "כלי שידרוג", but neither was particularly convincing.
