SV: Glossary and definition of OST terms

[Thomas Herrmann]

Lisa I think you are marvellous in your generous work to spread OS in the
world. When we started to work and read about OST here there were many words
that were quite difficult to grasp - and we know pretty good English anyway.
So the importance in other languages is great, I think.
I?m happy to be in the crew. Just let me know if I can do anything more!
Dearest regards
Thomas

  Amne: Glossary and definition of OST terms


  Hello, dear colleagues -



  As some of you know, I have been building a glossary of OST terms for
which I have written definitions.  I have worked with some of you to help
translate these terms into other languages so that people can have a source
point for many languages.  All communities have their common vocabulary
which is not always clear to people new to the field and the community - I
hope that this growing document I'm working on can be of service to those
reading the OST books, learning about, and using Open Space in different
languages.  When I get a first set of languages done I can post it on my
website for all to share and I can keep adding languages as new people come
to help and expand it.



  Okay so I had to stop for awhile but I'm starting it up again and I would
like to ask for your help.



  I already have had help and therefore have translations in these
languages, with the help of these great people (and a few others who
recommended adjustments):



  English - Lisa Heft (big surprise)

  Portuguese - Artur Silva

  German - Michael Pannwitz and Bernd Weber

  Serbian - Dragana Tomic

  Spanish - Jaime Pedreros

  Swedish - Thomas Herrmann



  * * *  Would anyone out there like to add another language?  I can send
you a vocabulary worksheet to begin - just let us know online here on OSLIST
so others will know that language is taken and I will send you a worksheet
directly. * * *



  Above are the languages which use the same alphabet (basically) as
English - the following are translations I will be making available as well
if possible through pdf links or some other process:



  Russian - Elena Marchuk

  Arabic - Carol Daniel Kasbari

  Hebrew - Tova Averbuch



  So if you wish to add a language that does not have characters like we use
in English, let's try it - I am sure there is a way and my wonderful friend
Guillermo who has been building my website is going to make it happen.



  Thank you to all who have been helping and are about to help.



  [For you generous folks already listed above I will contact you in awhile
to double-check some of the words - there may have been a few more added
since you helped me and I would also like you to check things before I post
to ensure there have been no formatting errors between the processes]



  Warmly,



  Lisa
