Description Gabor Kelemen 2008-09-21 10:57:58 UTC
The applet's right-click menu has a Groups menu item, which contains, umm, I think, the configured layouts? 
The "group" word is used at several other places, like: #: ../gkb-new/xmodmap/base.xml.in.h:48 ../gkb-new/xmodmap.sun/base.xml.in.h:43 (and in the xkeyboard-config package too), and I don't understand why is it not Layout, just like in the control center? Is there any significant difference? Based on it's functionality, I can't see any any reason to call it differenty, it creates only confusion. 
(btw, this issue was reported to me by a confused user :))

Hey Gabor :)

Have you tried to raise this issue on the mailinglist? I feel it's more appropriate there.
Comment 2 Gabor Kelemen 2010-04-11 20:43:56 UTC
No, I tought (and still think) this place is just fine :).

Also, I'm reassigning to g-s-d, as this applet was recently moved, but the problem is still valid:

#: ../plugins/keyboard/gsd-keyboard-xkb.c:395
msgid "_Groups"

This is the only occurrence here, and we have one more in http://translationproject.org/PO-files/hu/xkeyboard-config-1.8.hu.po

#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:272
msgid "Group toggle on multiply/divide key"
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2010-04-15 20:46:42 UTC
First translation is fixed, thanks! About the other - could you please file a bug on freedesktop.org?
