GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 759349
GUI strings in help not found in GUI itself
Last modified: 2018-08-03 20:43:30 UTC
When I translated Epiphany's help to Swedish I saw three GUI strings mentioned that couldn't be found in Epiphany's po file: #: C/bookmark-add.page:58 "The <gui style=\"button\">Similar</gui> button displays the number of " "existing bookmarks for the page which you are adding. If there is at least " "one existing bookmark, the <gui style=\"button\">Similar</gui> button " "becomes clickable. You can then view the existing bookmark or merge it with " "the new one." There is no "Similar" button, I can see a label "%d bookmarks are similar", but it is not clickable even if there are bookmarks. I get no offering to merge bookmarks if I add the same page multiple times. #: C/data-passwords.page:97 "You will be asked if you want to save the password in <app>Web</app>. Press " "<gui style=\"button\">Store password</gui> to finish. This will update your " "old password for the webpage." msgstr "" There is no "Store password" button any longer. The question "Do you want to save your password for “%s”?" is shown with the buttons "Save" or "Don’t Save" as possible answers. #: C/history-delete.page:48 msgid "" "You can also delete all of your history by selecting <guiseq><gui style=" "\"menu\">Edit</gui><gui style=\"menuitem\">Clear History</gui></guiseq>." msgstr "" I can't find any "Clear History" menu entry.
One more little thing that got mentioned when the translation was reviewed: #: C/browse-private.page:37 "This also means that private browsing is a more secure way of accessing sensitive websites such as Internet banking and <link href=\"http://questionablecontent.net/\">questionable content</link>" Here the question is if "questionable content" should have q in lower-case even though it is a name. Is it in lower-case as a joke, that the person clicking the link should think that there really is a link to some questionable content, or is this unintentional?
Lowercase 'q' is correct; since the sentence is referring to questionable content in general (porn), and the link to Questionable Content the comic strip is indeed a joke. (I like it, but I'm still surprised nobody has complained yet; I think Kat is too.) The full sentence is this: "This also means that private browsing is a more secure way of accessing sensitive websites such as Internet banking and questionable content because it is more difficult for websites to identify you when in incognito mode." It's kind of misleading, since incognito mode only protects against people with access to your user account (or root) on your computer... I think you'd be less-secure overall if you use incognito mode to visit your bank, since then you have to use a memorable password, rather than a secure and unique password in the password manager. It's true it's a bit more difficult for websites to identify you when in incognito mode, since session won't be saved, but this doesn't count for much nowadays and I'd rather we not mention it; it's critical that users understand incognito mode provides basically no protection against internet tracking, that's what Tor is for. Nowadays we have a better description: "Incognito mode hides your activity only from people using this computer. It will not hide your activity from your employer if you are at work. Your internet service provider, your government, other governments, the websites that you visit, and advertisers on these websites may still be tracking you." We could use that for the help page. We could update the screenshot, too.
