On second thought, my translation is not accurate. āThe date of this topicā? A user might ask: What does that refer to? The first post?
On the other hand, I donāt think leaving āauto-bumpā as is is a good idea either, as it could be just as confusing, if not more so, for certain groups of users (especially those who donāt know English).
In other languages:
- French:
Remonter automatiquement le sujet(something like āreassembleā) - German:
Thema automatisch nach oben verschieben(automatically move the topic to the top) - Finnish:
Nosta ketjua ajastetusti(raise the thread) - Chinese:
åę¢äø»é¢ē½®é”¶(switch topic to pinned/top)
In some forums, Iāve seen the translation rendered as reactivate.
These are the options Iāve found. Can anyone think of any others to discuss?
In my case, I think the German option is appropriate because it explains more clearly what the function does, and in Spanish, we donāt have the luxury of having a specific word like bump for this.
