GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 684202
Ambiguous string
Last modified: 2012-10-09 08:19:05 UTC
"If you have a connection to the Internet other than wireless, you can use it to share your internet connection with others." "It is not possible to access the internet through your wireless while the hotspot is active." Those two strings (found in panels/network/net-device-wifi.c) are ambiguous. The presence of both Internet and internet (first with a capital i, then without the capital) doesn't help. Are there two distinct connections? I guess the correct path is: The Internet ←wire→ Your computer ←wireless→ other people getting access to the Internet but it sounds like internet (no capital) could be the network made of your computer and the ones getting access to the Internet through it.
The first sentence might be clearer as: "If you have a connection to the Internet other than wireless, you can set up a wireless hotspot to share the connection with others." The second should perhaps have Internet capitalized: "It is not possible to access the Internet through your wireless while the hotspot is active." Better ?
Yes, that's way better. :)
