Re: [Usability] Being closer to the people

Jacob,

Well, I am open to the suggestions regarding the format (there is
possibility to add shortDescription, if you look into the dtd). But
first of all why do you think these abbreviated descriptions for the
keyboard options would be useful? Could you please provide some sample
of UI which would benefit from these strings? I just would not like to
increase the volume for translators (and the size of resulting
base.xml) without serious reason.

Thanks,

Sergey
