Description Tommi Vainikainen 2005-07-15 08:13:18 UTC
Here is a patch to replace every instance of word "machine" with "computer" and
use GDM instead of gdm or Gdm to make writing style more consistent. Also
program has been replaced with "command" or "application" according to GNOME
Glossary
http://developer.gnome.org/documents/style-guide/gnome-glossary-generic-terms.html#term-program

The patch has been split to three files, strings.patch contains mostly clear
stuff. strings_config.patch contains more questionable (i.e. radical) changes.
and docs.patch contains patch for documentation (docs/C/gdm.xml). (Docs patch
contains also fix for bug #308287.)

Use "root" not "superuser"

Here is one more. This replaces word superuser with root as it is in GNOME
glossary.

Makes sense. Confirming.
Comment 6 Brian Cameron 2005-07-19 05:24:09 UTC
Looks good.  In attachment #1 [details], it might be better to change the messages that
look like this 

 				 _("Please ask your "
 				   "system administrator to enable "
-				   "it in the GDM configurator "
-				   "program."));

to just say "Please ask you system administrator to enable this feature.".  The
sysadmin should know that they can use the GDM configuration program to do this,
or just edit gdm.conf if they want.

In patch #2, 

"Trying to restart the Xserver again" should just say "Trying to restart the
Xserver."   

"This X server is disabled for now.  Restart GDM when it is configured
correctly." should say "The X server is now disabled.  Restart GDM when it is
configured correctly."

"Failed start the X server (your graphical interface).  It is likely that it is
not set up correctly.  Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose
the problem?" should say "Failed to start...".

"Failed to start your session so this is the failsafe xterm session.  Windows
now have focus only if you have your cursor above them.  To get out of this mode
type 'exit' in the window in the upper left corner" should say "Failed to start
the session, so starting a failsafe xterm session.  Windows will have focus only
if the cursor (mouse) is above them..."

In patch #3:

"You must be the root to configure GDM" should be changed to "You must be the
root user to configure GDM".


Please make the above changes and commit them.  Thanks for helping to make GDM2
cool.
