Adoption of Filipino Translation

[leipogs23]

There is not really much difference in the Filipino and Tagalog Language. The only thing that sets them apart is the adoptation of the "salitang hiram" by the Filipino language. Meaning even foreign words are accepted/used/considered. I think to make this thing really ours, its better to use tagalog.

Kaya lang marami nagaalangan sa Tagalog 'coz their being misled, kala nila basta tagalog...malalim na tagalog na ibig sabihin.hehehe. etc...

elloh!!! just shoosshhh!! me if i butt in, i'm new here but can help myself na mag-epal.eniways, here's a word of ponder from tagalog lang site:

"So what is the difference between Filipino and Tagalog? Think of Filipino as Tagalog Plus. Filipino is inclusive of the contributions of languages other than Tagalog. For instance, it is quite all right to say "diksyunaryo" (from the Spanish diccionario) in Filipino, whereas a Tagalog purist (or someone stuck in the "Pilipino" era) might insist on a native Tagalog word like "talatinigan." It is also more politically correct to refer to Filipino, not Tagalog, as the Philippine national language. For Filipinos from other parts of the country, Tagalog is not their first language; they learn to speak Filipino because it is constitutionally the national language and taught in schools.


Postscript: Philippino, Philipino and other such misspellings are unacceptable and are jarring to Filipino eyes. Remember: Filipino is the noun that refers to the Philippine national language and to the Philippine people (Filipinos); it is also an adjective to describe people, things and such from the Philippines (the other adjective being Philippine). The country itself is called the Philippines (currently the Republic of the Philippines; formerly, and actually still, the Philippine Islands) in English, Las Islas Filipinas or simply La/Las Filipinas in Spanish, and Pilipinas in Filipino (Tagalog).

Cultural Note: Although the word "Filipino" is acceptable in Filipino (the Philippine language), most Filipinos will still say Pilipino when referring to a Filipino person while speaking in Filipino/Tagalog.

I can't get it? Un bang nilagay ko at yung post na yun e magkakontra???hehehe. So whats your ground? Filipino or Tagalog??hehe

leipogs23:
you were both saying the same thing.
let me jog my memory a bit (please forgive me if i'm totally misremembering this, i'm getting old).. our national language was first called Pilipino until the late 80's when it was decided that it should be called Filipino. the F was a result of the expansion of the alphabet of which the letter F was a new member. it was also hinted that there would be more borrowing from the other Philippine languages to answer the criticism that pilipino was merely tagalog called another name. and then the cebuanos started singing the "lupang hinirang" in bisaya.

as i have heard an english language professor say on tv (regarding sms spelling) "language is dynamic, it is constantly evolving.. from the usage of its speakers"

I wish we have this passion on the actual translation itself.
and not just be overly critical on what's tagalog and what's filipino.

^ Yes boss. Will be spending time in Launchpad just as soon as I ship this last project out.

[dodimar]

Sorry for being dumb here.. but how do you actually do the translations using launchpad (parang medyo nabighani ako sa aking mga nakita at di ko malaman kung saan ako magsisimula)..

Maaari po bang magbigay ng isang maiksing "tutorial" para sa katulad kong "noob" sa ganitong gawain...

Thanks
