在翻译Open edX语言时，经常遇到翻译不一致的问题。由于transifex是众包翻译，不同的人对同一词语的理解存在差异。例如“Learner”这个词汇，可以翻译为“学习者”、“学员”、“学生”，不能说哪个翻译更好。但是在界面中，如果这三个中文词语都存在，会给使用者带来混乱，认为这些不是指向同一个含义。
广州英荔的@liuxing3169写了一个小程序，统计Open edX语言中的词频。从中可以看到哪些词语出现的频率高，再对频率高的词语进行规范，设定一个术语表给翻译者。这是他的源代码 https://github.com/liuxing3169/Simple-python-programming-exercises
目前算出来的部分结果如下

可以看到其中有一些频率且容易不一致的词，如enrollment，learners，library等。Open edX中文社区将根据这个词表推出一套标准的术语定义，来方便翻译者。
