The string we need to change is (in the original source)
src/connection-editor/mn-connection-list.c: (line 227)
return g_strdup (_("never"));
The translations for this string are then located in the respective .po
files at lines 816 & 817

[Bug 388878] Re: Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means
A short phrase that works better than "Never" is "Not Yet". Another alternative is "New" I had no idea what the "never" meant 'til I saw "now" once when I had two connections to choose from. A related point is that I see the "never" tag when I have one connection and it's actually in use. Now that I know that it refers to the last time the connection was in use, I now see that it's behaving wrong to be displaying "never" in this case - it should be displaying "now" - any chance of getting that fixed, too, or is this a different bug? ** Attachment added: "never-say-never.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28831857/never-say-never.png -- Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 388878] Re: Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means
Perhaps we should just change "never" to "never connected." That doesn't make it sound like your network manager thinks it should never make any attempt to connect to that network ever again, and does not require very much work at all. -- Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I was able to easily reproduce... If you're connected to a WEP AP, right click, select Edit Connections, click the Wireless tab, and delete the AP in question. Now go back and try to connect, but give it a bad key. After it fails, it'll show up with the "Never" tag. I think a tooltip is the best solution as adding column headings might clutter things up. -- Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: network-manager New user installs Ubuntu, then attempts to connect to their wireless access point (for example 'BT-HomeHub'). As we know there are sometimes reasons why wifi doesn't connect when it should. They may at some point discover they can right click Network Manager panel applet and find - 'Connection Info'. If they click the 'Wireless' tab they will see the + 'Edit Connections'. If they click the 'Wireless' tab they will see the following:- Auto BT-HomeHub never Note the word "never". A new user has no idea what 'never' means because there is no column heading, and there is no other connections (this being the first) giving any clue that 'never' means 'you have never connected (in the past)'. In fact some users I have met think it means 'never connect to to this access point'. This could be easily resolved by adding a column heading 'Last connected at:' or similar, or a tooltip. -- Network connections dialog unclear what 'never' means https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388878 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
