"Other User's Folder" - avoid this genitive construction
Last modified: 2012-03-30 14:19:21 UTC
It is a good idea to avoid the use of the apostrophe 's genitive construction. Translators may confuse it with a contraction and even native English speakers can be uncertain about the correct usage of this construction. 1. Menu item: /File > Open Other User's Folder/File > Open Folder of Other User 2. Menu item: /File > Remove Other User's Folder/File > Remove Folder of Other User 3. Open Other User's Folder dialog - To open, choose File > Open Other User's Folder: s/Open Other User's Folder/Open Folder of Other User (titlebar) Also, in Open Other User's Folder dialog: 4. s/Folder Name/Folder name This bug blocks bug 246224.
Nautilus experienced L10n headaches with this possessive form: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2003-July/msg00086.html
is it however, still correct english.
adding string keyword - this obviously involves string changes
Bumping version to a stable release.
Plugins were removed from Evolution codebase - string still exists in evolution-exchange and evolution-mapi.
I like the sentence construction, but if you think... Created commit 038bce4 in ema master (3.5.1+) Created commit 1323df1 in eex master (3.5.1+)
