[Bug 1067366] Re: Ubiquity in Norwegian Bokmål has egregious misspelling

 

I agree that "Hvis" is the best translation and think that we should
continue to use the most "popular" form until that changes. I sometimes
suspect that they adapt new spelling forms because schools fail to teach
pupils the "right" one ;-)

Title:
  Ubiquity in Norwegian Bokmål has egregious misspelling

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In the slideshow, the english "if" is translated to Norwegian as
  "viss". This is how a 6-year old or slightly dyslectic person writes
  "if" in Norwegian. Proper Norwegian is "hvis".

  This is egregious, because it makes Ubuntu look like it is a kludge-
  job, which it is not.
