Hey Terminal developers and translators, when trying to translate "Escape sequence", the German translation team noticed after a long debate on how to translate that string properly that actually the English string itself seems to be wrong:
The terminal erase bindings type has auto, ascii_del, delete, ascii_backspace in that very order, the combo boxes have auto, ascii del, escape sequence, and control-h in that order. Besides, the handling in terminal_screen_update_binding_backspace does not respect the order and makes reading the program text very difficult. Anyway, apart from that, there's only a few people being left that know what control-h might be, but most understand the meaning of the names of the bindings type, and an escape sequence may be anything, but not in particular the delete sequence. Similarly, Ctrl-D should be used for delete when using Ctrl-H for backspace, I think. So I'd suggest updating the terminal-preferences-dialgo.c to insert "Auto-detect", "ASCII DEL", "DEL" / "Regular DEL" / "Ordinary DEL" and "BACKSPACE" / "ASCII BACKSPACE", that directly explains what is meant and hides the intrinsics of how a backspace is interpreted or sent to the terminal - who cares about that in nowadays times? Thanks for consideration, German translation team / Fabian _______________________________________________ Xfce-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-i18n
