[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] [Bug 72304] Re: "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense
In the Gnome Desktop User Guide, section 'Deleting a File or Folder': When you delete a file or folder, the file or folder is not moved to Trash, but is deleted from your file system immediately. The Delete menu item is only available if you select the Include a Delete command that bypasses Trash option in the File Management Preferences dialog. The above help text makes no sense with the current GUI labelling. Please reopen this bug and address the matter. -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation

Sridhar, Consistency across the desktop is a very good thing to aim for. Adopting an existing term instead of pulling a new one out of a hat is also a very good idea. However, the existing term you've picked is not satisfactory. Users may be aware of what it means to delete a file, but anyone can see that a menu item 'Delete from Deleted Items folder' is just silly. Your choice of term was by design, but the consequences is has are buggy: hence the bug report. I apologize for being too hasty initially -- you're right, I should have signed up to the list before diving in to the wiki. But I must ask you to reopen this and address it. You've still not actually justified the specific choice of 'Deleted Items'. In changing the 'Trash/Delete' concept to 'Delete/Permanently Delete' you're not translating the interface, you are redesigning it, and that isn't your job. -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation

I'm not hugely bothered what it's changed *to* -- I picked 'Wastebasket' because it's what Macs used to use before OS X. 'Deleted Items folder' is wordy and cumbersome, but the worst problem with it is that it completely breaks the trash metaphor: objects in the trash are not deleted, they are in the trash. You delete something by emptying the trash. Using 'Deleted Items folder' forces you to set up 'delete' and 'permanently delete' as terms for two very different things, which is confusing. -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation

I find mailing list archives near-impossible to read. I've made my point as clearly as I can: "Deleted items" causes the Trash interface to make no sense. I don't see what reasons can trump that. It doesn't seem to me like there's much point in me joining the list. -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation

Sorry -- I mean I've fixed the "Deleted items" translation to "Wastebasket" throughout. I don't have the access rights to upload them back to rosetta. Here's the one for gnome-applets. ** Attachment added: "PO file for gnome-applets" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5350613/gnome-applets-en_GB.po -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation

I've downloaded the two PO files from Rosetta but I'm not sure what to do with them next. ** Attachment added: "PO file for nautilus" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5350611/nautilus-en_GB.po -- "Deleted items folder" name doesn't make sense https://launchpad.net/bugs/72304 -- Ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list Ubuntu-l10n-eng@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-eng https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation
