Description Michael Wood 2013-08-15 10:29:43 UTC
"Input sources" is not a familiar term.

Input sources is more than keyboard layouts - you can't simply substitute one string for another. Also, how will this match up with the control center?

Potential solutions could be to call it "Keyboards & Input Methods", or to have a substring with an explanation, such as "Select keyboards or other input methods".
Comment 5 Allan Day 2013-08-15 14:37:59 UTC
Does anyone know how OS X does it, btw? They use "Input Sources" in their System Settings.
Comment 6 Michael Wood 2013-08-15 15:22:43 UTC
OSX:

"Select your keyboard" 
"Choose a keyboard layout"

None of the 12 people we asked understood the phrase "input sources" in g-i-s, i'd suggest it was changed in g-c-c too.

I don't think we have any input sources which aren't keyboard at this point.

Interesting. Is that literally asking for the layout of the keyboard, or does it allow input methods to be selected also?

They all use the keyboard, but they are not all keyboard layouts.

I've added a mockup for input sources: https://raw.github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/master/initial-setup/initial-setup-input-methods.png

This keeps the title but adds an explanation. It is also consistent with what I've been wanting for the control center (see .

As a side note, there's an outstanding request (bug 702349) to implement a redesigned input sources panel. It says: "There's no explanation of
what input sources are and a big empty list list with little controls at the
bottom. It is unclear whether it is necessary to interact with the page, and if
so how." I think that's basically what we're seeing here.

Also, as previously stated, I would prefer it if this panel didn't exist at all.

Review of attachment 254261 [details] [review]:

this would be a small improvement, but you need to ask for a string freeze break.
Comment 10 Matthias Clasen 2013-09-10 09:36:15 UTC
did you want to ask for a string freeze for this, Michael ?

No, I wasn't sure how important it is, so I'll leave this up to.
Comment 12 Allan Day 2013-10-07 15:04:10 UTC
I'd really like to resolve this. I think we can use "Typing" as the heading, and "Add keyboard layouts or other input methods" as a description string.
