Dear Sugar developers, The Terminal Activity is going to get a new version release in the very near future. As you know, this is a core activity providing access to the Linux command line. It used to have very few, very simple, but very important strings.
Terminal Zoom out Zoom in Fullscreen Open New Tab Close Tab Previous Tab Next Tab Apparently in the course of the gtk3 port, some of these strings went away Open New Tab Close Tab Previous Tab Next Tab which seems a little strange to me, I haven't tested the new code, but I'm not sure how or why these strings (which I think may have been tooltips) went away. See new strings here by looking at any language http://translate.sugarlabs.org/projects/Terminal/ Now instead of 15 words, it has ballooned to 121 words with the addition of some help text. I'm not against adding help text, but I do think a change this big merits some discussion and review. The old string set was really easy to localize because these exact strings were widely pre-localized in the upstream projects that contribute to Poolte's translation memory (TM). I'd like to to ask whether we lost functionality along with the loss of the strings about tabs. Can we do anything to improve these strings? For instance, this one uses incorrect English grammar: Locations: terminal.py:236 List the content of a directory. The plural form "contents" would be better in this string. Admittedly that by itself is a small thing and an easy fix, but I would like to ask folks to look at this code to see if we cqn improve the i18n of any strings. Some of the help strings do not appear to be all that helpful and it is not entirely clear if some would actually be translated at all (e.g. cd). I would very much appreciate some additional eyes on this, keeping translation in mind.
