GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 545219
HIG Fixes
Last modified: 2008-08-07 20:36:07 UTC
1. Category headings should use title capitalization, so "Sound theme" should read "Sound Theme" and "System sounds" should read "System Sounds". 2. There is a "P" mnemonic conflict. See "_Play system sounds" and "_Play system beep sound". 3. There is no mnemonic for "Play sounds when buttons are pressed".
Waiting on Calum Benson's ideas for better strings.
My only real suggestion here would be to consider following the Mac's terminology, which is a bit more consumer-friendly: OS X calls the system beep/bell the "alert sound", and other event sounds "sound effects". Going from the screenshots alone (i.e. I haven't had a chance to play with this yet), I think that would mean: * "Play system beep sound" would become "Play alert sound" * "Play sounds when buttons are pressed" might become "Play sound effects when buttons are pressed" (but it's probably fine as it is, too-- changing it to "sound effects" would just reinforce the relationship with the list below, if you were to make the next change too...) * "System Sounds" list heading would become "Alerts and Sound Effects" * "Audible bell" would become "Alert sound" * "Visual bell" would become "Visual alert"
> Play sounds when buttons are pressed" might become "Play sound effects when buttons are pressed" Correction: the docs style guide says that GUI buttons should be "clicked", not "pressed". (It's keys on the keyboard that are "pressed".) So that should be "Play sound effects when buttons are clicked".

Yep, looks pretty reasonable to me...
Jens, could you please double-check and commit?
After some discussion with shaunm on IRC, I've changed "Toggle switched" to "Toggle button clicked", and I also found two more capitalization errors. Committed and announcement sent. Thanks.
Thanks!
