Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

This is a very unusual translation. While '間' can mean 'while', it's not idiomatic for a 'while' loop in programming. '〜の間' (〜 no aida) is more common for expressing duration, but still not ideal. Needs native speaker review. '〜する間' might be considered, but is still awkward. '〜の間は' is also possible, but feels verbose.
