⟨ProtonGamin'⟩ this channel used to have cats
<queqiao->
⟨butcher6994⟩ The cats are getting rowdy
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ Re. the inputs in that section. Is prepending each label with "desired" extraneous?
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ Your call. In English it would be a bit verbose and take up more space than is reasonable, but it doesn’t seem like a bad idea in principle; and maybe it reads more ambiguous in zh for all I know.
<queqiao->
⟨Al₂Me₆⟩ It reads fine; I'm just not sure if you want to keep the translations as consistent as possible or to take advantage of the space efficiency.
<queqiao->
⟨egg⟩ No, I want them to be clear and idiomatic; consistency with terminology in the field is important, but consistency across languages is not a goal. And as long as it doesn’t overflow it’s good as far as space is concerned.
