@adisankarmt — these are the open questions from your round-3 review of matplotlib (#13), collected here so they outlive that PR's merge. All 44 of your suggestions are already applied on the PR exactly as you wrote them; nothing here changes the page — your answers decide what the translation tool learns before the next lecture. No deadline, and a short reply comment is all we need: one word per row is plenty.
First, what your review told us. Everything you corrected in round 2 came through clean this time — the colons and full stops, the capitalised sentence openers, നമുക്ക് … -ആം, For example, already, name, useful. You left 22 of the 66 Malayalam lines untouched (it was 5 of 123 last round), and your edits were lighter: six of them add only a comma. What remains is mostly rhythm and grammar — where a comma falls, ചെയ്ത versus ചെയ്തിരിക്കുന്ന, ഉപയോഗിച്ച് versus ഉപയോഗിച്ചാൽ, word order. We plan to teach those by showing the tool your own corrected sentences as examples, rather than by writing more rules.
1. The main question: which everyday English words stay in English? In round 2 you moved many Malayalam words back to English (useful, already, name, example). This round went mostly the other way. Looking across all three lectures:
| You keep in English |
You move to Malayalam |
| simple, useful, already, name, example, available, remove, draw |
explicit → വ്യക്തമായി, multiple → ഒന്നിലധികം, treatments → പാഠങ്ങൾ, dictionary-like → dictionary പോലെയുള്ള, straightforward → എളുപ്പം, contrived → കൃത്രിമം, facilitate → സഹായിക്കുക |
Our reading: a word that a student in Kerala would actually say in everyday conversation stays in English; a bookish or formal English word goes to Malayalam. Is "would a student say this word when talking?" the right test? If the real boundary is somewhere else, a sentence on where would help us more than any individual word.
2. Five places where the same thing went both ways. We want to encode the rule you intend rather than guess.
| # |
Item |
One way |
The other way |
Our guess |
| 1 |
provide |
round 2 (functions, line 47): you changed it to provide ചെയ്യുന്ന |
this round, line 57: you changed provide ചെയ്യുന്നു to നൽകുന്നു |
നൽകുന്നു |
| 2 |
plural of an English noun |
line 89: object-ുകൾ, function call-കളിൽ (Malayalam plural on the singular) |
objects (your line 112), plots, styles-ന്റെ, parameters everywhere else |
English plural + suffix (objects-ൽ) — also because -ുകൾ after a hyphen shows a dotted circle in some fonts |
| 3 |
prefer |
line 91: you kept prefer ചെയ്യുന്നത് |
line 246: you changed it to ഇഷ്ടമാണെന്ന് |
not sure — your call |
| 4 |
draw (a plot) |
line 295: വരയ്ക്കുന്ന → draw ചെയ്യുക |
line 339: graphs വരയ്ക്കാം left as it was |
draw ചെയ്യുക |
| 5 |
comma between two -ഉം items |
added at 147 (… ചെയ്യുന്നതും, … ചേർക്കുന്നതും) and 160 (functions-ഉം, features-ഉം) |
not added at 87 (simple-ഉം convenient-ഉം) |
comma between phrases, none between two single words |
(Line numbers are those of the PR as you reviewed it.)
3. Further Reading in English — adopted. You returned all four Further Reading bullets to English. Matt has accepted this as policy, so later lectures will keep that list in English. What is the principle, so we draw the line where you would: is it the Further Reading section specifically, any list of links to outside resources, or any bullet that starts with a link?
4. Two small fixes we made to your text — please confirm. Line 244: we changed ഉണ്ടായേകാം to ഉണ്ടായേക്കാം (you wrote ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടായേക്കാം in functions, so we took it for a typo). Line 91: the suggestion box drops formatting, so we put the code formatting back on import this and ended the bracket with a single full stop: … രണ്ടാമത്തെ line നോക്കുക.). Say if either is wrong and we will put it back.
Thank you — three rounds in, the pattern is clear and it is your corrections that made it so.
