TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Session != communication != link != whatever. When you start using
more than one word to mean the same thing, you create confusion. This
isn't a translation issue, rather it's an issue that translation
uncovers rather bluntly. Consistency is best, even if repetitive.
Besides, some people do need info drilled into them. ;)
