GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167320
Spelling and grammar fixes, and a very confusing message
Last modified: 2006-01-16 05:30:32 UTC
The following strings should be changed to American English: #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.glade.h:25 Src/Gtk2/dashergpe.glade.h:26 msgid "Change colour scheme automatically" (Should be "Change color scheme automatically") #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.glade.h:36 Src/Gtk2/dashergpe.glade.h:37 msgid "Distance from centreline for start on mouse position:" (Should be "centerline", but I can't figure out what this phrase even means.) #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.glade.h:43 msgid "" "If this mode is selected, up and down will\n" "cycle backwards and forwards between coordinates and right will confirm the " "choice" (Extra space between "up" and "and") #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.glade.h:50 Src/Gtk2/dashergpe.glade.h:50 msgid "Number of pixels that should cover the entire y range:" (Y is capitalized in every other string, and should probably be capitalized here too) #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.cc:189 msgid "Training Dasher, please wait" #: Src/Gtk2/dasher.glade.h:72 Src/Gtk2/dashergpe.glade.h:72 msgid "Training Dasher - please wait" (Can these strings be standardized? The first string is gramatically incorrect, and should definitely be changed anyway. I'd suggest "Training Dasher... please wait" for both strings.)

Looks great to me. Thanks!
We're well into string freeze at this point, so I'll have to consult the release managers. Do you feel that these strings are bad enough that they need to be fixed for 2.10, or can they wait until 2.10.1? (Note that 2.8 released with an identical string set - the changes have all been to code, not UI)
None of these string changes impact the ability to use the program, so I wouldn't think that there's any need to break string freeze for this.
Ok - in that case I'll upload fixes after 2.10 is released.
Just a reminder that these string changes were waiting on 2.10-RELEASE.
String freeze is still in effect for GNOME 2.10.x -- however, you may ask (by following http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#ApprovingFreezeBreaks instructions) again for approval.
True, but the changes could still go into HEAD.
> (Y is capitalized in every other string, and should probably be capitalized here too) I think it should be lower case - y is always lower case when used to represent the vertical co-ordinate on a graph in maths.
Are there thoughts on this bug report? It's over 10 months old now. Most of the stuff in here are pretty obvious changes.
I've committed the fixes outlined in this bug report. Resolving as FIXED.
