[Ubuntu-l10n-eng] Ubuntu-l10n-eng Digest, Vol 53, Issue 1

[bouncysteve]

I feel slightly uneasy about this one, because it's effectively changing
the name of an application, and would see us diverging from other distros.

I would prefer Video Player over Film Player, because there is actually no
film involved, although the suggestion that the term 'film' is increasingly
archaic raises the question of whether it is necessary to make a
translation away from Movie Player anyway.

How do we resolve something like this?
