Description Anders Jonsson 2015-02-02 18:14:48 UTC 
Noticed when translating to Swedish:

in /daemon/daemon.vala there is the string "- daemon listening accessibility events to launch on screen keyboard"


Here I get the feeling a word is missing. Is it that the daemon is listening FOR accessibility events, and launches an on-screen keyboard if that is the case?


Secondly I was a bit confused by "on screen keyboard", and started to parse it as "on (the) screen keyboard" rather than "on-screen keyboard".


If these assumptions are correct, I would find the string more readable if it was changed to "- daemon listening for accessibility events to launch on-screen keyboard"

Thanks for the report and sorry for my poor English.

Now that OSK is launched through D-Bus, maybe even "launch on-screen keyboard" doesn't make sense.  I'd like to change it to:
"- focus event monitoring daemon for screen keyboard".
How does it sound?

Thanks for you quick reply. Your suggestion sounds good to me.

Committed after s/focus/accessibility/, since it also tracks caret movements.
