I think from #10 and #11, this is (potentially) a bug in Banshee's translation, which does not use Launchpad for translation. If it is still a bug then it should be raised upstream against Banshee.

[Bug 68955] Re: "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk"
Jean-Baptiste, there is nowhere to track translation bugs other than language-pack-*. It makes sense for other packages not to accumulate bugs in translations that can only be fixed in Launchpad, so they need to be moved somewhere (and language packs are as good as anywhere), but it does not make sense to close them altogether.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, Ubuntu gets its translations from the translations portion of Launchpad ( http://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/), where translation teams work on making Ubuntu more useful in their language.

[Bug 68955] Re: "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk"
I looked at the PO file, and it appears that "disc" is referring to a CD, so this is correct usage of the word. There is one error in the file and that is "Could not transfer files to create disk image.", which should be "Could not transfer files to create disc image."

[Bug 68955] Re: "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk"
The Ubuntu-l10-en-GB team has decided to follow the conventions set by the GNOME and KDE en_GB teams in this regard. If describing a round object (e.g. a CD or DVD), we use 'disc'. Otherwise, we use 'disk' (e.g. a hard disk drive). The Cambridge, Collins and Chambers dictionaries refer to 'disk' as being specifically magnetic in nature. Some concessions have been made in en_GB translations to cover spellings which have become commonplace due to US influence over the field of computing. I'd be hesitant to diverge from upstream. If we wish to make a change, we should discuss it with the GNOME and KDE guys. Otherwise, we should just follow their cue. -- "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk" https://launchpad.net/bugs/68955 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 68955] Re: "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk"
Actually they are alternative spellings: Disk is a variant spelling of disc, and the preferred US spelling of disc in all senses. It is also the majority spelling in the computing industry - Collins Concise Dictionary, 2001. Ask Oxford (http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/disc?view=uk) says that disk is the US spelling of disc, but that IT uses the US spelling. Presumably similar to the usage of program rather than programme. As disk rather than disc is used in computing we should use disk - despite the fact that some would say it's an Americanism. -- "Disc" in en_GB translation should be "Disk" https://launchpad.net/bugs/68955 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
