GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 610000
panel_toplevel_construct_description should provide less technical descriptions
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:21:09 UTC
panel-toplevel.c:panel_toplevel_construct_description is responsible for creating these strings: /* translators: these string will be shown in MetaCity's switch window * popup when you pass the focus to a panel */ N_("Top Expanded Edge Panel"), N_("Top Centered Panel"), N_("Top Floating Panel"), N_("Top Edge Panel"), }, { N_("Bottom Expanded Edge Panel"), N_("Bottom Centered Panel"), N_("Bottom Floating Panel"), N_("Bottom Edge Panel"), }, { N_("Left Expanded Edge Panel"), N_("Left Centered Panel"), N_("Left Floating Panel"), N_("Left Edge Panel"), }, { N_("Right Expanded Edge Panel"), N_("Right Centered Panel"), N_("Right Floating Panel"), N_("Right Edge Panel"), }, Users have complained that these strings are too technical. I'm not sure I have any great ideas, but maybe just calling them "Top Panel", "Bottom Panel", "Right Panel", and "Left Panel" might be less "jargony" while still remaining sufficiently descriptive?
Created attachment 153898 [details] [review] Descriptive names for default panels The default panels in gnome desktop are 'edge expanded' so we can simply drop those words as its implied. The blind screen reader users would find this more intuitive.
Can someone review the patch and apply it !
