Description Dušan 2013-03-10 09:39:40 UTC 
Hi.
I want to ask, if "URI" can be replaced with "URI of computer" or something like that - for better definition for users.


#. A 'broker' is a virtual-machine manager (could be local or remote). Currently libvirt is the only one supported.
#: ../src/app.vala:233
msgid "URI to display, broker or installer media"

You mean replacing "URI to display" with "URI to computer" in above message?
Comment 2 Dušan 2013-03-10 17:51:06 UTC 
yes, something like that - more specific.
URI of computer to display, or something...

That doesn't make sense. Also, display could be a of a real computer or a virtual machine or a single computer can have many different displays. So "URI to display" is more precise here.

Having said that, perhaps the string could be improved and we can say this better so I'll leave this open and ask some native English speaking designer for help.
