(1/3) > >>

tonghuren:
I want to translate  the word rockbox into Chinese.But I don't know exactly what does this word mean?Can somebody here tell me something?

bluebrother:
From my understanding it's a name thus nothing that should be translated at all. Check also this message about the project name: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2002-01/0134.shtml

tonghuren:
So can I assume that  Rockbox is a place that we have our music to be with our life.It is a special box(place).

Llorean:
Does "Linux" have specific a meaning? Does "McDonalds" have a specific meaning? Does "Microsoft" have a specific meaning?

It's a word like that - it is just a name with nothing more or less.

It shouldn't be changed or translated, it should be left as it is if at all possible.

Maybe the last 2 examples are not the best since they are both translated in China :)

McDonalds: 麦当劳 (mai dang lao, just a transliteration)
Microsoft: 微软 (wei ruan, literal translation of micro and soft)
