Bug ID: 158289
Summary: The term "Track changes" is being used ungrammatically
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In LO UI, there are strings such as "Record Track Changes", "Show Track
Changes" and "Manage Track Changes". I think using "Track Changes" as a noun
this way is ungrammatical, unless it refers to the change-tracking
functionality itself. But even in that case "Change tracking" would be more
easily understood.
If a string refers to the tracked changes in a document, it should be something
like "Manage Tracked Changes". ("Tracked changes" is correctly used in some of
the UI strings.)
If a string refers to the change-tracking functionality in LO, it should be
(preferrably) something like "Manage Change Tracking".
If "Track Changes" is being used as a command (in the sense of "computer, track
these changes" or "activate change-tracking"), it is being used correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/search/libo_ui-master/-/en/?q=track+changes&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum=
Actual Results:
"Track Changes" is used incorrectly.
Expected Results:
Correct grammar is observed and strings are easily understandable.
Reproducible: Always
