LoL, i mean any special advice before doing interface translation? because it's a kinda different with translating book/article.

oh ya, its important to read some references because sometimes people also use sanskrit or any other term in Buddhist talk.

Practice makes perfect... As the first step employ ur self to be an editor, there u can learn the term or jargon used in buddhist articles
