But GNOME's full of verbs like this -- think 'Open', 'Save', etc. -- and the translation teams have probably found appropriate solutions already. For example, the German transaltions doesn't use the German imperative form. So, the above list may look like [GNOME logo] Entdecken - Versuchen - Fragen - Erschaffen - Mitmachen The German construction comes from sentences like "You should discover (something)". There's no motivational aspect anymore; no "Do this now!" Cheers, Claus -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
