Can I change [[scrapbook]] on /manage/emailpost.bml.help.images.text to Ukrainian translation of "Scrapbook"?

I think this would be much like LiveJournal, in that it's a trademarked proper name and shouldn't be translated.

*points up* Agreed

burr, Ukrainians name it "Al'bom". Scrapbook not so simply and beautifully to speak on ukrainian. We can use "Al'bom"?

ScrapBook is the name of the service, like LiveJournal, so it really shouldn't be translated at all.

Why can the Russian team translate "LiveJournal"?

Also, I agree with most here.. It shouldn't be translated

No, it should be translated.

I know that "Живой Журнал" is such a well-known brand in Russia as LiveJournal; it's why we're allowed to translate it.

We should extend list of such a phrases.

"LiveJournal" has been translated into that other word from the beginning of the Russian translation (back when there wasn't really a greater management of all the teams), and the other word was actually used to mean "LiveJournal" for a long time before the translations started - which is why it is allowed for Russians but none of the other.

Feel free to ask if you want to know more. :)
