Here are some things I noticed on a closer reading: - _( "Place a hierarchical label. This label will be seen as a hierarchical pin in the sheet symbol" ) + _( "Place a hierarchical label. This label will be seen as hierarchical pin in the sheet symbol" )
The second sentence here becomes "broken" when the article is omitted. For consistency with the other menu items, the article should probably be omitted in the first sentence though. - _( "Import the footprint selection from CvPcb (the .cmp file)\n\ -in component footprint fields" ) + _( "Back-import component footprint fields via CvPcb .cmp file" ) Is "back-import" standard terminology? (sorry, I'm pretty new to Kicad). - _( "Open an existing schematic project" ), + _( "Open an existing schematic sheet" ), Is "schematic sheet" the same thing as "schematic project"? If not, then this changes the meaning. - btn->SetToolTip( _( "Eeschema (Schematic editor)" ) ); + btn->SetToolTip( _( "Eeschema - Electronic schematic editor)" ) ); Unmatched parenthesis in the string. -- Sean Silva On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 7:58 PM, Fabrizio Tappero < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Sean, > would you be kind enough to suggest any improvements if any is needed. > If not I'd like to ask somebody to push this patch in the main stream > so that I start working on Cvpcb and other apps. > > thanks > Fabrizio > > > On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 12:42 AM, Sean Silva <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I'm not an expert in menu item usability, but I am a native English > speaker. > > These labels/entries seem like a nice improvement over the existing ones. > > > > -- Sean Silva > > > > > > On Wed, Feb 12, 2014 at 12:45 PM, Fabrizio Tappero > > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> > >> Hello, > >> I tried to adjust the KiCad and eeschema menu entries and labels > following > >> a little how a gui program normally is.
