[Bug 540826] [NEW] Rename "Suspend" to "Sleep"

 

Vish (vish) has assigned this bug to you for indicator-session in ubuntu:

In the Power Menu, "Suspend" should be renamed to "Sleep" because sleep
falls on a continuum with hibernation/"Hibernate", and "sleep" is a more
intuitive term for new users (you can verify this by asking ten people
who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "suspend" a computer, then ask
another ten people who have not used Ubuntu what it means to "sleep" a
computer).

---------

Specifically in Power Management Preferences, both words "sleep" and
"suspend" are used and mean the same thing. Under Actions is "Put
computer to sleep when inactive for:" while the drop-down selection
boxes have "Suspend" as an option.
