I guess that in English, when written as "'Login' = 'yes/no'", it can
be easily understood. However, in Japanese, "'ログイン' = 'はい/いいえ'"
looks somewhat awkward and is a bit difficult to understand at a
glance. "'ログイン' = '可/不可'" (equivalent to "Login is
'can/cannot'") sounds more natural in Japanese, but it was rejected
upthread, and I also don't like 'can/cannot'. To give further
candidates, "allowed/not allowed" or "granted/denied" can be
mentioned, and they would be easier to translate, at least to
Japanese. However, is there a higher likelihood that 'granted/denied'
will be misunderstood as referring to database permissions?
Likewise, "'Valid until' = 'infinity'" (equivalent to "'有効期限' = '
無限'") also sounds awkward. Maybe that's the same in English. I guess
that 'unbounded' or 'indefinite' sounds better, and their Japanese
translation '無期限' also sounds natural. However, I'm not sure we
want to go to that extent in transforming the table.
regards.
