Hi all, I've opened PR #6707, which removes the trailing question mark from checkbox, radio-button and tooltip labels across every locale and turns them into affirmative statements.
https://github.com/apache/jmeter/pull/6707 My understanding is that common UI guidelines (GNOME HIG, Apple HIG, the Microsoft style guide) recommend affirmative statements for checkboxes, radio buttons and tooltips, and reserve the question form for dialogs that actually ask the user something. So genuine dialog prompts keep their ? (for example save?, revert_project?, the cancel_* confirms); only the control and tooltip labels were changed. I ran into these excess question marks while adding the Russian translation in PR #6706, and this change carries the same cleanup across the other locales. For most locales this was a mechanical change — just dropping the ? (and, for Spanish, the opening ¿, and the full-width ？ in CJK files). *But in some locales the string was written as a full question sentence, so I had to reword the grammar into an affirmative form. Those rewrites need a native-speaker check.* Languages where grammar was changed (please verify): * *Least confident, review most welcome*: Korean (ko), Turkish (tr), Polish (pl), Chinese (zh_CN) * Reworded as well, but I'm more confident: German (de), Spanish (es), French (fr), Japanese (ja) The main spots are the CSV Data Set tooltips (recycle, stopThread, quotedData), the Debug Sampler / Debug PostProcessor tooltips, and a few core keys (if_controller_evaluate_all, ldap_trust_all, clear_cookies_per_iter, sampler_on_error_action, include_path). If you are a native speaker (or know one) please take a look and comment on the PR. The diff is the quickest way to review the text; to see the labels in context, you can run the GUI: git clone https://github.com/apache/jmeter.git cd jmeter gh pr checkout 6707 # or stay on master to compare against the current wording ./gradlew runGui Thanks, Vladimir
