GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 351680
Do not mention "gnome" all the time
Last modified: 2007-02-11 15:09:05 UTC
gnome-keyring-manager is a standard set of the Gnome desktop. There's no need to put "GNOME" in several of the strings used in the application. Eg. the about box could do better with "Simple management of your keyrings" as the description line.
I've done some string changes, but I'm not sure if "Copyright \302\251 2004, 2005 The GNOME Love Project" should be changed. Who is the copyright holder, technically? I don't really know how these things are done, but I'm sure you don't expect me to do all the translations. Have a patch, anyway.

I'm not sure having Keyrings, capitalized, all over the place is a great idea. Also, an article is probably needed in strings like "Access denied to Keyring" and others. Translations are to be done by translators: you rpatch correctly only deals with the English source. Btw, Alex, please do not change the copyright strings.
Do we actually have any official policy, here? Only I'm having a little trouble understanding the rules. As far as I'm concerned, the word "Keyring" in this context is most definitely a proper noun, and as such should be capitalised. If we're going to ever call it "GNOME Keyring" at all, we should be consistent and call, e.g. gedit "GNOME Text Editor". What do you think?

Uh?! > If we're going to ever call it "GNOME Keyring" at all, we should be consistent > and call, e.g. gedit "GNOME Text Editor". There's a difference between Title Case and sentence case. Do not overabuse capitals, we're not German :)
OK I don't really know what I'm doing then. Someone else can take this up.
The user should only see "Keyring Manager" (title case) in the window title and such places. When you refer to the keyring daemon, saying GNOME all the time is bad, and "GNOME Keyring daemon is not running" should be "The keyring daemon is not running" and so on.
