@drahardja maybe "selesai" is more appropriate word

drahardja, 10 months ago

@billy_appetie But what would you call the “Done” button then 😄

@drahardja idk, but the feel of "enter" same as "selesai" for me

@drahardja "Lanjut" (continue) might work, besides "Masuk". "Kembali" definitely feels weird, though.

@jaybaeta How about “berikut”?

jaybaeta, 10 months ago

@drahardja I think it works less well than Lanjut, since "next" is less direct in meaning than "continue". If you have a folder selected, seeing "next" doesn't really communicate what the key will do (next folder? Enter? etc.), whereas "continue" should. 🤔

@jaybaeta More suggestions: “Terus”, “Teruskan”, “Terima”

So far I think “Lanjut” is my favorite.

jaybaeta, 10 months ago

@drahardja Teruskan could work as it means moving forward, but Terima is probably too specific in meaning (accept).

Interestingly, my wife also suggests Lanjut is more "beautiful-sounding" than Terus. 😁

Also, the one person I'd think is worth asking is Ivan Lanin, who is an expert on the Indonesian language, but he's not on the fediverse. Want me to reach out to him and ask?

@jaybaeta No harm asking. I’m curious!

jaybaeta, 10 months ago

@drahardja I'll let you know when he replies, since it's the weekend. 😆

@drahardja Berikut, Berikutnya ?

drahardja, 10 months ago

@donny Yeah something like that! I understand the concept of “carriage return” in the old typewriter days where you “return the carriage” by pushing it to the right. But these days it means more like “Done” or “Enter”.

Maybe IBM was right in calling the key “enter”—masuk, masukkan.
