Description Christian Rose 2002-04-12 14:59:23 UTC 
#: applets/gen_util/clock.c:937
msgid "Use _GMT"

The name "GMT" has been deprecated in favor of the name "UTC" (Universal
coordinated time)(*). Thus, this string should most likely say "Use _CET"
instead.

(*) http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/utc.html : "Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) is the international time standard. It is the current term for what
was commonly referred to as Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT)".
Comment 1 Christian Rose 2002-04-12 15:07:11 UTC 
D'oh, what I meant was of course that the string should say "Use _UTC"
instead.
Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2002-04-15 13:46:00 UTC 
Fixed in CVS
Comment 3 Christian Rose 2002-06-01 10:44:47 UTC 
#: applets/gen_util/clock.schemas.in.h:4
msgid "Display time in Greenwich Mean Time zone"

This should probably be changed to go with the change above.
Comment 4 Christian Rose 2002-06-01 10:48:13 UTC 
#: applets/gen_util/clock.schemas.in.h:12
msgid "Use GMT"

This one too


These break string freeze, probably 2.0.1 material
Comment 5 Luis Villa 2002-07-02 16:22:51 UTC 
Can we get this in now, Christian?
Comment 6 Christian Rose 2002-07-02 16:25:56 UTC 
Certainly!
Comment 7 Christian Rose 2002-07-02 16:38:19 UTC 
I can take care of this if that's ok.
Comment 8 Christian Rose 2002-07-02 16:46:31 UTC 
Fixed in CVS HEAD now.
