-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I had filed a RFE http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458330 related to the sorting of items in the GNOME menu. In short, here's what I wrote: The default sorting of entries in the gnome-menu for en_US (and I guess for Latin languages) is alphabetical. However, in the Indic locales the sorting does not happen alphabetically in a proper fashion. One approach of solving this issue would be to fix the position for the entries so that they appear in constant order across the locale. For example if Accessories, Graphics, Internet were tagged 1,2,3 (I admit that there might be more entries in between, the example was from how my menu appears) then irrespective of the locale, the translated strings would assume the same position. This is an RFE and I would really like to understand what would be the issues in implementing this. Since Indic sorting is taking quite a while to get fixed, this might turn out to be a working solution. Does this impact usability ? :Sankarshan ps: I am not subscribed to this list, could you keep me in cc: when replying ? - -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGoKVPXQZpNTcrCzMRAkX4AKCnvLWI9+lQ7FVoLyHk4mtM6XzPogCfXzHR Q2OJwEMs1ijHv/3QqTQ2Muo= =izD9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
