Ah yep, good point -- I've standardised them now :-) Mike -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

I've also changed "Mac OS X" to "macOS". Super, thanks! Just my obsessive mind, but we have two variants here: 64-bit and 64 bit (with dash and with space). Could you standardize with "64-bit" and "32-bit"? So with a dash and without "s" to the end?[1] Please note however, South America and Western European countries prefer "64 bits" and "32 bits".[2] > These are just the short names so it shouldn't affect anything -- I've > tested all the downloads and all seems fine, but let me know if anything > else needs changing! > > We did talk about changing "Windows" to "Windows 7/8/10", but I need to > find out when the longer descriptions (function NicePlatform() in > DownloadObject.php) are used... > If I had access to the source code, I could provide guidance here from a dev point of view if needed :) Regards, [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing [2] https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all=windows%2064%20bits,windows%2064%20bit -- William Gathoye -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

OK, I've updated the download page so that the options in the "Choose your operating system" box now say "32 bit" and "64 bit" instead of "x86" and "x86_64". I've also changed "Mac OS X" to "macOS". These are just the short names so it shouldn't affect anything -- I've tested all the downloads and all seems fine, but let me know if anything else needs changing! We did talk about changing "Windows" to "Windows 7/8/10", but I need to find out when the longer descriptions (function NicePlatform() in DownloadObject.php) are used... -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

We also need to change "Mac OS X" to "macOS". It looks like these names are defined in mysite/code/DownloadObject.php, eg: case "win/x86_64" : return "Windows x86_64"; break; case "mac/x86_64" : return "Mac OS X x86_64"; break; So I can make the changes myself -- but I just want to check in case it breaks anything. Cloph, is it OK to change these?

[libreoffice-website] Use of Windows 7/8/10 (XX bits) instead of Windows (x86|x86_64) on download page
Hello everyone, I have got a question[1] from someone who doesn't seem very tech-savvy and I tend to agree with him. On the download page, Windows x86 or Windows x86_64 while perfectly correct from a CPU architecture are not very understandable terms from an end user point of view. Windows advertises Windows 64 bits and never speaks about x86_64 in the About section of Windows. Could we therefore change in favor of the following terms instead ? They have the advantage to display and remind the versions we support. * Windows 7/8/10 (32 bits) * Windows 7/8/10 (64 bits) Regards, [1] https://twitter.com/LibreOfficeFR/status/1181594654103486464 -- William Gathoye -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
