Hieronder de letterlijke tekst van mijn verzoek aan Tim Waugh, de
betreffende bovenstroomse programmeur van system-config-printer. In
eerste instantie als een reactie op zijn blog, in tweede instantie via
een e-mail:

Subject:
system-config-printer naming (what's in a name....)

Hello Tim,

As a downstream translator for Ubuntu, I find the translatable menu
item “Printing” in the source code, a bit confusing. It tends to be
translated into things like “Busy with printing” etc.

I myself made that mistake once, too… One of those highly visible
translation errors that haunt a poor translator for months, creating
outcry in the user community. :P

Would you perhaps consider changing the menu item “Printing” into
something like “Print Settings”, “Print Manager”, “Printing
Management”, or something roughly along those lines?

The translatable source code strings I’m referring to, are string 376
and 622. I use the Ubuntu .pot file as a reference (maybe the Fedora
.pot file uses a different string numbering, but I don’t suppose so).

When you would want to adapt those, you’d probably also want to adapt
string 655. For two reasons: you’d want to have the new name in it,
and also you may want to change the menu path it refers to. Because as
far as I can see, that’s a Gnome 2 path, and therefore not very
current anymore.

Regards, Pjotr.
