Greek (el) Translation Agent Skill

Locale code: el Preferred variant: Standard Modern Greek (el), consistent with existing translations in airflow-core/src/airflow/ui/public/i18n/locales/el/

This file contains locale-specific guidelines so AI translation agents produce new Greek strings that stay 100% consistent with the existing translations.

1. Core Airflow Terminology

The following terms must remain in English unchanged (case-sensitive):

• Dag / Dags — Airflow concept; never write "DAG"
• XCom / XComs — Airflow cross-communication mechanism
• Backfill / Backfills — Historical data fill-in; kept as a recognizable technical term
• Pool / Pools — Resource constraint mechanism
• Map Index — Task mapping index
• PID — Unix process identifier
• ID — Universal abbreviation
• UTC — Time standard
• JSON — Standard technical format name
• REST API — Standard technical term
• URI — Uniform Resource Identifier
• Gantt — Chart type name
• Catchup — Dag scheduling catchup setting
• Log levels: INFO, DEBUG (Note: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING are translated — see § 3)

2. Standard Translations

The following Airflow-specific terms have established Greek translations that must be used consistently:

Note on Asset: Unlike French, Catalan, and other locales where "Asset" is kept in English, Greek translates it as Οντότητα ("entity"). Use "Οντότητα" consistently across all Greek translations.

4. Greek-Specific Guidelines

Tone and Register

• Use formal Greek ("εσείς/σας" form). Do not use the informal "εσύ/σου".
• Use a neutral, professional tone suitable for technical software UIs.
• Keep UI strings concise — they appear in buttons, labels, and tooltips.

Grammatical Gender

Greek nouns have three genders: masculine (αρσενικό), feminine (θηλυκό), and neuter (ουδέτερο). Match adjectives and articles accordingly:

• "Dag" is treated as neuter: "το Dag", "ένα Dag"
• "Εργασία" (Task) is feminine: "η εργασία", "μια εργασία"
• "Εκτέλεση" (Run/Execution) is feminine: "η εκτέλεση", "μια εκτέλεση"
• "Σύνδεση" (Connection) is feminine: "η σύνδεση"
• "Μεταβλητή" (Variable) is feminine: "η μεταβλητή"
• "Οντότητα" (Asset) is feminine: "η οντότητα"
• "Καταγραφή" (Log) is feminine: "η καταγραφή"
• "Κατάσταση" (State) is feminine: "η κατάσταση"

Plural Forms

Greek uses i18next plural suffixes _one and _other. Use the established plural forms from the glossary:

"task_one": "Εργασία",
"task_other": "Εργασίες"

"dagRun_one": "Εκτέλεση Dag",
"dagRun_other": "Εκτελέσεις Dag"

"asset_one": "Οντότητα",
"asset_other": "Οντότητες"

Genitive Case

Greek uses the genitive case to express "of X" relationships. This commonly appears in compound terms where English uses a noun modifier:

"dagRunId":      "ID Εκτέλεσης Dag"       // "ID of Run of Dag"
"taskGroup":     "Ομάδα Εργασιών"          // "Group of Tasks"
"auditLog":      "Καταγραφή Ελέγχου"       // "Log of Audit"
"assetEvent_one":"Συμβάν Οντότητας"        // "Event of Asset"
"triggerRule":   "Κανόνας Ενεργοποίησης"   // "Rule of Triggering"

Capitalization

• Use sentence case for descriptions and longer strings.
• Use title-like capitalization for headers, labels, and button text (match the style of existing Greek translations).
• Capitalize proper terms: "Dag", "XCom", "Backfill", "Pool", etc.

Diacritics

Greek uses the tonos accent mark (΄). Always preserve accented characters — missing diacritics change the meaning or make text unreadable. Never write "Εκτελεση", "Συνδεση", "Εργασια", "Οντοτητα", "Καταγραφη", "Κατασταση" etc. Always use the correctly accented forms from §2.

Question Mark

The Greek question mark is the erotimatiko (;), which looks like a semicolon. When translating English ?, use ; in Greek sentences:

"confirmation": "Είστε σίγουροι ότι θέλετε να διαγράψετε το {{resourceName}}; Αυτή η ενέργεια δεν μπορεί να αναιρεθεί."

Placeholders and Variables

Preserve all {{variable}} placeholders exactly — never translate placeholder names. Reorder phrases for natural Greek word order when needed.

5. Terminology Reference

The established Greek translations are defined in the existing locale files. Before translating, read the existing el JSON files to learn the established terminology:

airflow-core/src/airflow/ui/public/i18n/locales/el/

Use the translations found in these files as the authoritative glossary. When translating a term, check how it has been translated elsewhere in the locale to maintain consistency. If a term has not been translated yet, refer to the English source in en/ and apply the rules in this document.

6. Agent Instructions (DO / DON'T)

DO:

• Use formal Greek ("εσείς/σας" form) throughout
• Preserve all i18next placeholders: {{count}}, {{dagName}}, {{type}}, etc.
• Apply correct Greek genitive case for "of X" constructions
• Provide _one and _other suffixes for every plural key
• Translate "Asset" as "Οντότητα" (Greek-specific — not kept in English)
• Translate log levels: "ΚΡΙΣΙΜΟ", "ΣΦΑΛΜΑ", "ΠΡΟΕΙΔΟΠΟΙΗΣΗ" for CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING
• Preserve Greek diacritics (tonos accent) on all Greek words
• Use ; (erotimatiko) for question marks in Greek sentences

DON'T:

• Write "DAG" — always use "Dag"
• Translate XCom, Backfill, Pool, ID, JSON, REST API, UTC, PID
• Translate {{variable}} placeholder names
• Drop Greek diacritics (e.g., never write "Εκτελεση" for "Εκτέλεση")
• Use the informal "εσύ" form
• Translate "INFO" or "DEBUG" log level labels
• Use English ? for question marks in Greek sentences
