Friend is a broad definition everyone interprets differently. Not everyone people might want to talk to using Tox have to be their friends, and from the little (but hopefully representative) experience I have, they use instant messaging to talk to a wide range of people, whether they are family, classmates, friends, coworkers, or complete strangers.\r\n\r\nThis stroke me when I started translating qTox into my language and noticed that using the term 'friend' might sound weird in some cases (at least it does to me). Famous example of an atrocious service using this same naming is Facebook.\r\n\r\nI'm aware that there is something called Single Tox Standard and that qTox probably aims to follow that, but the issue [has already been reported](https://github.com/Tox/Tox-STS/issues/3), without receiving a reply in over a year, it seems.\r\n\r\nI made a comment yesterday, in hopes that someone might notice the existence of the issue, but I'd like to ask here if I should translate 'friend' as 'friend', or if I can use an alternative word, such as 'contact'."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tux3/qTox/issues/comments/111419815","html_url":"https://github.com/tux3/qTox/issues/1855#issuecomment-111419815","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tux3/qTox/issues/1855","id":111419815,"user":{"login":"linux-modder","id":5921776,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/5921776?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder","html_url":"https://github.com/linux-modder","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/linux-modder/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-12T08:59:37Z","updated_at":"2015-06-12T08:59:37Z","body":"@Tirifto @LapFox   why would  'friend' be  more intimate ?  One thing  about   qtox   or any tox  is the fact  that while its a nice ui /ux most people could give two shits  what the name for connections  are....and the naming IS  NOT  meant to care about the personal connection level of the user (AFAICT at least).."}}
