[Dylan McCall <dylanmccall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dylan McCall has proposed merging lp:~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/general-copy-edits into lp:ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu.

Requested reviews:
  Ubiquity Slideshow (ubiquity-slideshow)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/general-copy-edits/+merge/74867

Just some little bits of copy editing with Christian's changes.

I'm also switching old stuff back to en locale from en_GB, to accommodate the new copy. (And because Ubiquity can tell us the correct locale nowadays).

 a photo manager has images all taken on a single day! Where you can, try
 to make things look lived in.
 
+* Do not depend on text in screenshots. Remember that the slideshow's copy
+is translated, so that text will be unreadable for a lot of users. Try to
+find a way to communicate things visually and avoid emphasizing any text
+on the screen.
+
+* Avoid showing the mouse pointer.
+
+* Editing your screenshots with an image editor is fine if you need to
+remove some cut off text, for example, but do not deviate from what is
+actually possible with an application.

 So, I just made screenshots a little trickier, but I hope that helps.
 Good luck!
