Hi Ingo, These are great notes and we'll consider them when developing our next release. For your reference, I've ticketed them here: <a href="http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1205">http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1205</a> It is true that some of our word choices may seem odd or difficult to translate. "Unmark" and "Unhide" are words seen in modern applications. (However, this might be an Americanism.) And undoing a revert may seem like an odd phrase, but that's literally what happens when the command is selected. In any case, we do want Shotwell to be an easy-to-use, approachable application, and a lot of that is achieved with language choices. Thanks for this list, and if you think of more suggestions, please let us know! -- Jim <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Ingo Lütkebohle <<a href="mailto:iluetkeb@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de">iluetkeb@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, while doing the German translation, I noted a few things in the original strings. Most of these are minor, but they should also be easy to fix or get a word on. * Sometimes you talk of "publishing", sometimes you talk of "uploading". This seems inconsistent. For what its worth, I like "publishing" better. * Words such as "unmark" and "unhide" are difficult for me. I know its supposed to refer to the reverse, but wouldn't "remove mark" and "show again" be better? No clue about the UX, just the wording seems awkward (maybe more so in German, though). * Is "Undoing revert" really possible? ;-) * "Generating Events" seems slightly odd. I know what you mean, but its not really the Event that is generated (that one happened already in the real world), rather the Events are extracted from the foto metadata, right? * "Basic" and "Extended" information are not clear to me. I am assuming there is some criteria for selecting what to display at which setting. It may be clearer to specify this critera or just to say "Basic" and "All". so much for now -- Ingo Lütkebohle -- <a href="http://aiweb.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/user/ingo-lutkebohle" target="_blank">http://aiweb.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/user/ingo-lutkebohle</a> Applied Informatics Group -- Bielefeld University -- +49-521-106-2952 _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list <a href="mailto:Shotwell@lists.yorba.org">Shotwell@lists.yorba.org</a> <a href="http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell" target="_blank">http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell</a> </blockquote></div>
