Grammar needs work
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:59:30 UTC
Documentation bug Section: gimp/2.0/help/en/ch05s02s02.html Some of the pages of the help system need some proofreading or grammar-checking. A couple examples: "The delay set the time during the layer is visible in the animation. The combination mode set if you combine with the previous layer or replace it: the two modes are (combine) or (replace)." (Blue "Tip" box) "Keep transparency: If you check this option the transparent areas of the layer will be keeped, this even if you have checked the Fill transparent areas option for the Bucket fill tool." (the 2nd bullet after the blue tip box) The following are under the "Layer management" section: "Edit layer attributs: You can change here" => "Edit layer attributes: Here you can change" "You can create here" => "Here you can create" (New Layer, Duplicate Layer) "You can here move" => "Here you can move" (Raise Layer, Lower Layer) "You can here delete" => "Here you can delete" (Delete Layer) "You can also put the layer down into Toolbox" => Maybe: "You can also put the layer down into *the* Toolbox" (2nd-last paragraph at end of the page) Correct version: "The delay sets the time during which the layer is visible in the animation. The combination mode sets whether you combine the layer with the previous layer or replace it: the two modes are (combine) or (replace)." "Keep transparency: If you check this option the transparent areas of the layer will be kept, even if you have checked the Fill transparent areas option for the Bucket fill tool." Other information:
It would help a lot if you could download the source for the help files (module gimp-help-2 in CVS) and prepare a patch with the suggested changes. Do you think you could do that?
We should probably make it more clear, that the help system needs proof reading. We already aware of the bunch of grammar errors. If you're not able to checkout the sources, I'm glad to add your fixes. It'll be very appreciated if you can provide more fixes for errors you're spotting.
Roman, did you fix these errors in the meantime so that the report can be closed?
Yes, fixed now: 2005-09-12 Roman Joost <romanofski@gimp.org> * src/dialogs/layer-dialog.xml: fixed grammar errors in english content, which fixes bug #314734 (Grammar needs work)
Resolving as FIXED accordingly.
