Treemapping

Dear DLyons, I am wondering if you are aware that "


Jastëk treemap SequoiaView e shpejt tregon se si hapësirë ​​në disk është ndarë. " is an automatic translation and it cannot be taken absolutely as reference. Furthermore, do you know that the structure of Albanian language is completely different from the English one, and we cannot simply use an English term acritically just because we don't have an equivalent. It seems to me that most of statistical terms are being translated in other languages (ex. French, Italian). And even if we maintain the term "treemap" in brackets as it is recommended in such cases, we still have to find an Albanian version considering the translated file has to be understood by Albanians.

I'm sure your descriptive term is fine. But a brief description can only give an indication and not pinpoint exactly what the English term is used for. Only the English term itself can do that in the absence of an accepted Albanian version of the term. What I suggested was that Ervis use something like "treemap" (afishimi në hartën-pemë).

I expect that there are at most a tiny number (perhaps 0) of papers in Albanian that have the term, and I would be very surprised if they didn't use the English "treemap". That approach is absolutely standard across languages in the field of Statistics.
