Confusing messages about tabs
Last modified: 2006-01-05 15:39:39 UTC
A better description about certain actions concerning tabs and tab navigation. Example string: #: ../src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in.h:8 msgid "Accelerator to move current tab right." This message is missing a preposition somewhere, and makes it ambiguous. What does "to move current tab right" mean? I have two interpretations for this: 1) it describes the accelerator used to move the current tab to the right. For instance, if the current list of tabs (from left to ritht) were A B and C, then if we had tab B active, this accelerator would make the tab list be A, C and B. 2) it describes the acceleratod used to move the focus to the tab to the right of the actual one. Another example is here: #: ../src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in.h:4 msgid "" "Accelerator key to move current tab left...." Yet another example: #: ../src/terminal-accels.c:128 msgid "Move Tab Left" Does this mean "Move to tab to the left" or "Move tab to the left"? (ie. physically move the tab or just move the focus) Note: I am not a native English speaker, so this interpretations might be due to my poor English skills. Other information: Other similar strings that might be affected by this: #: ../src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in.h:5 #: ../src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in.h:7 #: ../src/terminal-accels.c:130
It should read 'to the' right/left. These messages should probably be clarified (gnome-love task).
Fixed with some additions in CVS HEAD. Thanks!
