Hi Carlos, > Some more feedback: is the list of terms somewhere in svn? This tool is
At the moment the list of terms is online at http://www.kde.me.uk/index.php?page=Consistency+rules . This is the list of forms that the en_GB translators use(d) for proofreading, so it's more de facto than anything. The version of the word list used by the script is http://people.fruitsalad.org/frerich/sanitizer/tools/preferred_forms . > so useful that it should be. Also, there are some terms from the visual > guide that are considered deprecated! For instance "Drop Down Box" is > considered deprecated. I would like to change that (also to-do vs todo, > etc...). I think we should get some people together who are interested in pursuing this. I'm unfortunately not able to motivate myself for it. As I understand it, the HIG team will at some point take responsibility for this, so you would have to get in touch with them. I'll check this with Lauri. OK, I just did - what I said is correct. > Another problem: deprecated terms that are commonly used in the > applications. Should we "fix" them in the apps? And deprecated terms > that are deprecated in only one sense, but not all? Sidebar suggested > replacement is "navigation panel". Well, not all sidebars are navigation > panels...) I believe that the solution is not to remove them from the > deprecated words list, but to stop showing the same error more than say, > three times. Again, this will be decided at the HIG level. I will try to find a contact on the HIG team here at aKademy. About changing the script, Frerich can give you the link to the source, if you know any perl. I will try to get round to adding the feature myself, but so far, I haven't been productive enough at akademy to be able to add things to my immediate todo list, sorry.
