Hi TLUG language mavens, I need to get some advice on usage from those who are closer to the source than I have been for quite a while. I am doing an E > J translation and need to check on some "technical terms". * Web site. Last I was aware, ホームページ was the usual vernacular for a web site, but I know that ウェブサイト is now also out there. I guess my sense of the first one being standard derives from an era when even in English there were a lot of people using "home page" for this meaning. How about フロントページ for what used to be "home page"? Has usage of these terms settled into a firm pattern by now? * For visitors/users of a web site, how does 閲覧客 strike you? I ran across the term 閲覧, and sorta "guessed" the existence of the former from that. When I googled it, it seems it does exist in the wild. Seems very precise, but if "no one" really uses it and it strikes people as weird, then what instead... * If I want to refer to the "office" where I work, meaning sorta both the physical place and also the people and functions we perform, is オフィス normal for that, or....事務室? Latter feels archaic to me. * The opposite of モバイル = ..... デスクトップ? * For clicking on a link, just クリック(する), right? I've also used リンクを辿る, just to add some variety. * "Navigate", as in, to find your way around a web site to find what you want. ナビ? Or is this word specific to geographical way-finding? * Our office has a "mission". ミッション?使命?任務? There's gotta be a "normal" way to say this, but for the life of me none of these sounds right. Maybe I'm looking up the wrong word. I guess that's enough for one posting.... but I will certainly be following this up with further items! Thanks in advance. Dave
