About Exness — the strings that are never translated — Kuwait

Which strings on the screen are names, and which are language

• Platform names — MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, Exness Terminal — name a product and are printed the same everywhere.
• Account-type names — Standard, Standard Cent, Pro, Raw Spread, Zero — identify which record a set of terms applies to.
• An instrument symbol such as EURUSD or XAUUSD, together with any server suffix, has to match character for character on both sides of an order.
• Order-type wording belongs to the platform vocabulary and travels with the platform rather than with a language setting.
• Menu labels, headings, help text and the sentences that explain those names are language, and language is rendered.
• Figures keep their identifiers while their formatting follows the locale: separators and date order move, currency codes do not.

Identifier or language?

Typing a search when half the phrase is an identifier

A query that renders an identifier into another language stops pointing at the object and starts pointing at descriptions of it. A symbol or a type name is a fixed string, and search results follow strings.

The workable form is mixed: the identifier exactly as printed, the question in whatever language is comfortable. That is also how the answer will be written, because the pages worth finding quote the identifier the same way.

Writing to support without a round-trip

A request that translates the account-type name, the symbol or the order type has to be decoded before anything can be checked, and the decoding is a guess. Quoting those three verbatim, including case and any suffix, removes an exchange of messages.

The sentence around them can be in any language at all. It carries the question; the identifiers carry the object the question is about.

Reading a screen back later, or handing it to somebody else

A screenshot stays readable to a person who does not share the language as long as the identifiers are intact. Menu labels can be unfamiliar and the meaning still survives, because the symbol, the account type and the order type say what is being looked at.

The reverse is what makes a re-typed or re-worded screen useless: the part that was unambiguous is exactly the part that was replaced, and nothing in the sentence around it can restore the original characters.

Deciding whether a word on the screen may be replaced

1. Ask whether the word appears in the terms of the account as a name — if it does, it is an identifier.
2. Ask whether the platform would still find the same object if the word were swapped for another — a symbol or a type name would not survive the swap.
3. Ask whether the word describes rather than points; descriptions are the part that changes with the interface language.
4. Copy identifiers exactly as printed, keeping capitalisation and any suffix.
5. Render the sentence around them, never the tokens themselves.

The test is not how foreign a word looks, but whether anything on the other side has to match it.

One sentence in two languages, and what did not move

Everything marked No is a string another system has to match; everything marked Yes is there to be understood.
