Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 3.4.0-2 Severity: minor Tags: l10n patch
Dear Maintainer, Please consider applying the following patch that corrects a wrong translation that is displayed when using gnome-power-statistics in Spanish: --- es.po.orig 2013-03-02 14:04:50.256276753 -0300 +++ es.po.new 2013-03-02 14:05:21.684277422 -0300 @@ -739,7 +739,7 @@ #. TRANSLATORS: this is the Y axis on the graph #: ../src/gpm-statistics.c:1600 msgid "Power" -msgstr "Energía" +msgstr "Potencia" #. TRANSLATORS: this is the Y axis on the graph for the whole battery device #. TRANSLATORS: this is the X axis on the graph for the whole battery device This string is displayed in the vertical axis of the graph shown in the "History" tab when selecting "Laptop battery" in the list of the left of the window, and when chossing "Rate" in the "Graph type" pull-down list. Values on the vertical axis of said graph are labelled in Watt units (W), so the values are of "potencia" (power), not of "energía" (energy) which would require an energy unit like Wh (Watt-hour), J (Joule), etc. Power is of course the *rate* of energy flow. Current Spanish translation seems to confuse these concepts, possibly out of uniformity with other uses of the word "power" in the English translation of the program, which are all correctly translated as "energía". It is just not correct to also translate "power" as "energía" in the context of labelling a graph displaying values measured in Watts. I'm a native Spanish speaker and an electronics engineer. But despite my technical background, the use of "potencia/energía" I'm reporting is also that of a layman. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=es_AR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=es_AR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-power-manager depends on: ii consolekit 0.4.5-3.1 ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.12.1-3 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2+git20121218.7c1322-2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-3 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-5 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-6 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.17-1 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-1 ii upower 0.9.17-1 gnome-power-manager recommends no packages.
