Hash and digest
Hi,

are "hash" and "digest" used interchangeably in gnupg? Can they be translated to the same word?

Unfortunately both are used.
Yes, you may translate them to the same term,

In German I translate both to "Hash" (there is no useful German term for
it). I think we once translated some strings to the German meaning of
"compression algorithm" but that conflicts with reversible compression
(e.g. ZIP).
