I need again the help of SO!
Can you tell me please the proper translations of "CLIENT AREA" in web context?
Google translate give me: клиентская область.
Translating AREA alone, google translate give several possibilities:
There are several terms.
Личный кабинет. This is used in the context of internet service providers, internet storage providers, hosting services, cellular providers, web money and other billing services. Here the user can choose the subscription services and request the details of recent transactions.
Моя анкета. This is used in the context of various dating services and social networks to set up what data you want other people to see on your personal page, such as your interests, age, sex, sexual preferences, place of living and dating aims.
Мой профиль. This is used on various sites, forums, social networks to set up your preferences. This includes the theme in which the site is displayed for you, your e-mail, your default e-mail notification choices, your age and occupation, timezone etc. This data may or may not be available to other users.
Платная зона. This may be used in the context of porn sites, to denote content accessible only to paid accounts.
In the web context, especially if it's something that requires the client to sign in to access the area, I've seen the expressions Личный кабинет and Кабинет пользователя (the second expression appears to be more rare).
It depends on what is meant by client area.
If it is a part of your site dedicated to clients as opposed to that dedicated to other audiences (such as contractors, or investors, or staff), a dative such as
may be used. For example, rzd.ru uses that convention.
Don't know though if that is considered good style in web design.
Напишите "Для клиентов" - это будет более литературный перевод.
Client area, as it relates to the part of the window used by the client application, as opposed to the browser itself, "рабочая площадь."
