⟨egg⟩ @Al2Me6 does 目标地球轨道 reasonably parse as Target–Earth–Orbit, or 木星太阳轨道 as Jupiter–Sun–Orbit, or do I need separators
<queqiao->
⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ it looks fine by me
<queqiao->
⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ what would a version with separators look like?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ @Al2Me6 other question:
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ I found the following in a paper titled 火星遥感制图技术回顾与展望
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Could 𝑋星心惯性[坐标系] be a good generic name for 𝑋-Centred Inertial (with overrides applying to many bodies obviously, for instance for Mars 火心惯性坐标系 is far more common)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ I don’t know, I can’t really think of any appropriate punctuation
<queqiao->
⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ in that case, the unseparated version is likely the better choice
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ In particular, does something like 木卫四星心惯性[坐标系] parse well
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (or Kerbin星心惯性 for that matter)
<queqiao->
⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ at this point my woefully inadequate Chinese is unable to help
<queqiao->
⟨(ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟshells)⟩ it looks fine by me, but you are probably better off asking Al2Me6
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ then again "星心惯性" seems to appear *only* in that paper so it may not be a great example…
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ ah it has quite a few more hits on CNKI…

⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ So... junior got into orbit today. Now he wants to go to the mun.
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ He’s using vocabulary that his mother doesn’t know - which is pretty cool if you ask me 😄
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ At this pace he's going to ask for a computer that can run RSS by christmas.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Does that mean we need a German translation for Principia :D
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ It would feel ... odd
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ I'd rather have him play the english version of the game, but that's a bit too soon
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ Is there a french version?
egg|anbo|egg has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
egg|anbo|egg has joined #principia
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ nope, I should add one sometime
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Looks like RSS only has a zh translation too

⟨Al2Me6⟩ Might be a tad awkward (just sounds odd), but works for me. But then, I'm not familiar with what actual Chinese users would find reasonable...
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I wanted to make a suggestion in the same vein at some point, but figured it probably wasn't attested: "质心惯性“
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ So 体固坐标系 appears to be the generic technical term
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ maybe just meow的体固 for arbitrary bodies (with the obvious 地心地固 etc. overrides as appropriate)?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ maybe just 喵的体固 for an arbitrary body 喵 (with the obvious 地心地固 etc. overrides as appropriate)? (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ IMO it parses fine without the ‘的’, especially considering that it's an abbreviation
<queqiao->

⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ Nothing seperates germans and austrians more than their common language.
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ Seeing all that chinese reminds me of a trip to taiwan eons ago. I felt like an analphabet.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Meanwhile in Switzerland :D
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ One can't claim that the swiss utterances are german without admitting to a host of compromises 😛

<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ Do you speak german? How long have you been over there?
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ This sounds a lot like danish compared to swedish 🙃
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ Swiss german and high german are technically the same language, but with a lot... A LOT of differences. Not only in pronounciation, some words mean different things and there are differences in grammar. As well as a couple of words that simply do not exist in high german, or are not commonly used. Swiss german usually comes with subtitles on TV.
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ (Which feels very odd to me, because what we speak at home is quite similar)
<queqiao->
⟨Sir Mortimer⟩ But I pity everyone who ends up in switzerland to learn german 🙂
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Yeah because the first year lectures were all in Hochdeutsch (and many of the profs were German)

⟨egg⟩ Certainly in the case where it is Earth (or another planet, or the moon) and we can abbreviate 地球, 地心惯性参考系 is more common than 地球质心惯性参考系
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ but I guess 地球心惯性 might be weird?
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ Yep.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ language works in mysterious ways
<queqiao->
⟨Al2Me6⟩ I suppose it's because '地心' is an established term... might also work for the Moon? Gets wonky (at least to my ears) past that.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (see also: why do we most often say lunar orbit rather than selenocentric—and Moon orbit is weird—, heliocentric orbit rather than solar orbit—and Sun orbit is weird—, but Earth orbit rather than terrestrial or geocentric orbit :-p)
<raptop>
telluric orbit

⟨egg⟩ (and this varies between languages, French uses orbite terrestre for Earth orbit)

⟨egg⟩ (and this varies between languages, French uses *orbite terrestre* for Earth orbit) (edited)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ 日心惯性 is very common (not sure if that counts as beyond 月心惯性). 火心惯性 seems to be a thing too. Beyond that it is hard to say much, but it is not clear to what extent that is the dearth of publications about missions that have yet to be flown.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ But in any case this does not go beyond the Sun, planets, and the Moon, because you cease to have a clear-cut way to form those abbreviations.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (it’s interesting to see that, e.g., 近火点 is more frequent than 近拱点 by an order of magnitude in the context of 天问一号, and 火轨道 slightly more than 火星轨道; so it seems that where they are available those abbreviations do get used; it would not be unreasonable to extrapolate to all the planets in that fashion)
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ (contrast with the græco-roman game, where periareion is rarer by an order of magnitude than periapsis in the context of ExoMars, and nobody in their right mind will say periposeidion)
