[Bug 1009686] Re: Change window title from "Software Updater" to...anything else?

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Arthur, I don't see the "debate" you mention anywhere in the article you
linked to. Anyway, "software" is a mass noun, so "install it" is
correct. If we referred to "software updates" instead, then "them" would
be correct. I chose "updated software" instead of "software updates"
because that avoids having to change to a different message whenever
only one update is available. ("A software update is available. Do you
want to install it now?")

(1) Why?

(2) Why? This window is basically equivalent to a confirmation alert,
and it's a bit strange to present a confirmation alert without asking a
question. Normally that's done only if the preceding sentence is long,
and it isn't in this case.

Title:
  Change window title from "Software Updater" to...anything else?

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In 12.10, "Update Manager" is now being called "Software Updater."

  ubuntu-1210

  There's also some debate whether "Do you want to install it now?"
  should be "Do you want to install them now?"

  IMHO, we should just remove the second sentence altogether. The dialog
  should just be, "Updated software is available."

  (1) Can we change the name of the window title from "Software Updater" to "Software Updates" ... [or something else]
  (2) Can we drop the second sentence in the dialog box.
