Title:
Bad polish translation: actions and activities are translated to the
same word
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
New
Status in kwin package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In Polish KDE translation, both activities (= subject-oriented virtual
desktops) and actions (= varioius window-related actions) are
translated using the same word „działania”. This is very confusing.
For example, after right-clicking window title I get window menu with
the following contents
Przenieś na ekran >
Działania >
Minimalizuj
Maksymalizuj
Więcej działań >
Zamknij
2nd and 5th positions mean the same (Więcej = More in Polish) and
after 3 years of facing it I still must click both to ensure which
leads to Activities menu and which to extra window actions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suggested fix: as translating „activities” to „działania” seems
established, I would not change it (albeit personally I'd probably
prefer naming this „subjects" in English and „tematy” in Polish).
Instead, I suggest changing translation of „More actions” from „Więcej
działań” to one of:
- just „Więcej…” (= „More…”)
- „Więcej czynności”
(in fact IMHO „czynność” would be better than „działanie” even without the problem,
the words are mostly synonyms but I'd usually consider „czynność” to be sth small
and fast, and „działanie” to be sth big and long-lasting)
