# redis-rosetta-stone
An epic effort to capture the essence of Redis in all languages
Everybody knows that [Redis](https://github.com/antirez/redis) is an acronym for **RE**mote **DI**ctionary **S**erver. This repository is one half thought experiment, one half pedagogical project and the final half a joke.
Original idea suggested by [@microspino](https://twitter.com/microspino/status/610149923238055937). Contribute by creating PRs with additional languages that you master or contensting existing translations.
The translation for each language must consist of the following attributes:
* Language - the language's name
* Script - the phonetic equivalent of Redis in native script
* Script literal - the literal translation of Remote Dictionary Server in native script
* Phonetic literal - the phonetic version of the native literal (use CA-PI-TALS or resort to IPA if needed)
* Script acronym - acronymized native literal in native script
* Phonetic acronym - the phonetic version of the native acronym
Additional clarifications:
* The order of languages is lexicographical, naturally. The single exception to this rule is English, which appears first.
* Multiple variants for the same language are acceptable and welcome.
* The internal ordering of variants per language is by date of first appearance anywhere.
