Description Stanislav Brabec 2014-10-29 14:34:48 UTC 
js/ui/popupMenu.js contains a custom implementation of Switch.

The widget is visually nearly equal to the new GTK+3 GtkSwitch widget and IMHO it should be replaced by it.

These implementation diverged in translations, which causes inconsistencies in gnome-shell look. GTK+3 GtkSwitch widget allows to use arbitrary short text or ○/❙. gnome-shell Switch allows only ON/OFF and ○/❙.

For example:

German:
gnome-shell: ON/OFF
elsewhere: AN/AUS

Danish:
gnome-shell: ❙/○
elsewhere: TIL/FRA

Japanese:
gnome-shell: ON/OFF
elsewhere: オン/オフ

Simplified Chinese:
gnome-shell: ON/OFF
elsewhere: 开启/关闭
Comment 1 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2014-10-29 15:04:08 UTC 
Unfortunately you cannot use GTK+ widgets inside GNOME Shell due to the way it, and GTK+, are both architected, though that's something I'd love to change. Feel free to improve the implementation of GNOME Shell's widget.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2014-11-07 18:17:50 UTC 
Bug 639794 is specifically about reusing the translations from GTK+ in gnome-shell, so marking as a duplicate.
