I think I have been misunderstood on this point.

The facility of polls is provided on the launchpad platform, where this project is housed, and it is used for the kind of projects that we have undertaken. 

Objective is to seek opinion of the team members and involve them in a process of exchange of ideas and constructive discussion which hopefully is expected to lead to an agreement as to better choice of words and phrases to be used.

We have all gathered together to achieve a goal. It simply is impossible that all of us would have same level of knowledge, experience, expertise, ability, skills and aptitude. Some us would excel in some areas while others might excel in others. We are here to pool our efforts to achieve optimal result, else we could assign all the work to the one most learned amongst us and lean back and let him take care of everything. It is not here question of thrusting opinion of the majority despite valid arguments to the contrary. Please do not construe it as political referendum. I rather look at it as opinion poll among learned and knowledgeable friends who have gathered together here to achieve best results and who are not here just to thrust their opinion upon others. Each one of us may have an idea as to the best translation of a term or phrase, but when we share our ideas, we learn in the process and change our opinions too.

I request you all to please take it in that spirit. There is no argument on the point that the linguistic and logical considerations provide the sound base on which we proceed.

سائين جيئن توهان کي مناسب لڳي. پر آئون ان راءِ جو ناهيان ته علمي ڪم سان سياسي رفرينڊم واري هلت لي وڃي. ان جو فيصلو مناسب لسانياتي دليلن جي بنياد تي ٿيڻ گھربو هو.

For this purpose Polls can be set up so that one can quickly agree about the most appropriate translation and proceed ahead. I have set up one such poll about word "system" which will open tomorrow. However, I am not very conversant with setting up polls. I will greatly appreciate if one amongst you who is better at setting up takes up this responsibility and takes care of it on regular basis. I look forward to your response in this regard.
