Introduction
This Style Guide went through major revision in February 2011 in order to remove outdated and unnecessary
content. Some topics are considered to be "Core & Common" – pertaining to all Microsoft products and services,
while other topics have been added for product-specific purposes. These product-specific topics are in a separate
section at the end of this document.
About This Style Guide
The purpose of this Style Guide is to provide everybody involved in the localization of Estonian Microsoft products
with Microsoft-specific linguistic guidelines and standard conventions that differ from or are more prescriptive than
those found in language reference materials. These conventions have been adopted after considering context
based on various needs, but above all, they are easy to follow and applicable for all types of software to be
localized.
The Style Guide covers the areas of formatting and grammatical conventions. It also presents the reader with a
general idea of the reasoning behind the conventions. The present Style Guide is a revision of our previous Style
Guide version with the intention of making it more standardized, more structured, and easier to use as a
reference.
The guidelines and conventions presented in this Style Guide are intended to help you localize Microsoft products
and materials. We welcome your feedback, questions and concerns regarding the Style Guide. You can send us
your feedback via the Microsoft Language Portal feedback page.
Scope of This Document
This Style Guide is intended for the localization professional working on Microsoft products. It is not intended to
be a comprehensive coverage of all localization practices, but to highlight areas where Microsoft has preference
or deviates from standard practices for Estonian localization.
Sample Text
A. H. Tammsaare (ebatäpselt ka Anton Hansen Tammsaare, Anton-Hansen Tammsaare, Anton Hansen-
Tammsaare või Anton Tammsaare; kodanikunimega Anton Hansen; 30. jaanuar 1878 Albu vald – 1. märts 1940

Elukäik
Ta õppis omal käel lugema ja läks 8-aastaselt kooli. Esimesed teadmised omandas Sääsküla koolis, kuhu ta läks
1886. aastal, hiljem õppis Prümli vallakoolis ja pärast seda veel Väike-Maarja kihelkonnakoolis, kuhu tuli
õpetajaks tuntud luuletaja Jakob Tamm, kes pani rõhku õpilaste kirjalikule väljendusoskusele. Seal alustas Anton
ka ise luuletuste kirjutamist. Peale selle õpetati kihelkonnakoolis muusikat. Anton sai siit algoskuse viiulimängus.
Väike-Maarja kihelkonnakoolis käis ta aastatel 1892–1894 ja 1896–1897. Aastatel 1894–1896 oli ta isal abiks
põllutöödel.
