+Do not translate this file.
+This just tries to collect some of the terms you will run into
+when translating Subsurface
+
+SAC Surface equivalent air consumption
+ The air consumed during a dive at different
+ depth is adjusted for depth/pressure to give
+ an easy to understand air consumption number
+
+OTU Oxygen Toxicity Unit - a measurement how O₂
+ negatively impacts the lung tissue. This number
+ has no unit, the values are rather abstract
+
+CNS Central Nervous System Oxygen Toxicity - a
+ measurement how O₂ negatively impacts the
+ central nervous system - this is a percentage
+ or a number <= 1
+
+maxCNS the highest CNS value during a dive
+
+PO2, PN2, PHe These are all partial pressures of the three
+PO₂, PN₂ gases Oxygen (O2 or O₂), Nitrogen (N2 or N₂)
+ and Helium (He).
+
+O₂%, He% The fraction of Oxygen and Helium in a gas.
+ The partial pressure is therefore the pressure
+ of the gas times the fraction of the specific
+ component. E.g. a gas with O₂% = 30 (also called
+ 30% Nitrox or EAN30) at 30m depth (where the
+ pressure is 4atm) therefore has a PO₂ of
+ 4 * 0.30 = 1.2
+
+CSV Comma separated values - a common file format
+
+TSV Tab separated values - a common file format
+
+Stopdepth The depth at which the diver needs to wait for
+ some time in order to "off-gas". Also deco stop.
+
+WorkPress Working Pressure of a tank - the pressure it should
+ be filled to
+
+StartPress Starting Pressure - at the beginning of a dive
+
+EndPress Ending Pressure - at the end of a dive
+
+Switch at the depth at which the diver wants to switch to
+ a certain gas
+
+Device ID Unique ID for a specific dive computer
+
+trip dives are grouped into "trips" based on their
+ individual start time. As soon as there are more than
+ 48h between dives the automated algorithm will start
+ a new trip
+
+UDDF standardized file format
+
+GFHigh, GFLow Gradient Factors of the Buehlman algorithm. These
+ impact the way the deco obligations are calculated
+ in Subsurface. Typically these are between 20 and 100.
+ Lower is more conservative (i.e., more deco). It's
+ possible to use values below 20 and above 100 in
+ certain circumstances, but 70/30 is much more common.
+
+CC Closed circuit - short for "repreather diving"
+
+OC Open circuit - traditional scuba
+
+CC Set Point Rebreathers often are run with a fixed PO₂ - the "set point"
+
+Bailing out to OC
+ in a rebreather dive the dive switches to their emergency
+ OC equipment
+
+Auto Group automatically arrange dives into trips
+
+Ceiling when the diver is "in deco", i.e., when the diver cannot
+ directly ascend to the surface but has to put in "stops"
+ to give their body time to "off gas" (reduce the amount of N₂
+ and potentially He in the body), there is a minimum depth
+ they should not climb above - that's the ceiling. Often a
+ diver will do a deco stop well below the ceiling
+
+Viz short for visibility
+
+belt, ankle weight system types - a backplate is used mostly by tech
+backplate, divers to mount the tanks on (recreational divers have a BC,
+integrated, tech divers usually a backplate and a wing)
+clip-on
+
+rbt remaining bottom time
+
+rgt remainint gas time
+
+workload is this a strenous dive?
+
+deepstop stop well below the ceiling
+
+safety stop stop at the end of a recreational dive, typically
+ 3 minutes at 5 meters
+
+below floor event showing dive is below the depth where the dive
+ is acruing additional deco time
+
+OLF Oxygen Limit Fraction; Suunto specific term for CNS
+
+rgbm reduced gradient bubble method - alternative deco
+ algorithm
+
+non stop time amount of time the diver can stay at the current depth
+NDL without going into deco
+
+EAD equivalent air depth
+
+END effective equivalent Nitrogen depth
+
+EADD equivalent air density depth
+
+TTS time to surface (including deco stop and reasonable
+ ascent speed)
