Description Armijn Hemel 2006-06-06 14:30:30 UTC
Description of problem:

In Evolution there are a few strings which are used in a rather, well,
inconsistent way. The main problem I have is that to mark a single mail message
for deletion there is a button called "Verwijderen" (remove). To clean out the
deleted mails there is a menuitem "Opruimen" (clean), but in that same menu
there is another entry also called "Verwijderen", which actually removes the
whole folder with mails. There is a warning, but it is still confusing. I'd
rather see the menu split, or see the strings changed so it is much clearer to
see what is being done.

Apologies for taking so long to respond.

Are these translation issues still present in Fedora Core 6?

Comment 2 Armijn Hemel 2007-02-18 19:30:40 UTC
Yes. I would suggest that some strings are renamed in the "folders" menu:
"remove" is renamed to "remove folder" and "clean" is renamed to "clean out
folders" or so. This is a lot less confusing. I don't have my desktop in English
right now, so I don't know what the correct strings are in the original version.

Thanks for responding.  I'm forwarding your suggestions to the upstream
localization team.  Please refer to [1] for further updates.
