[Bug 358641] Re: Incorrect Translation in Spanish Network (ENG)->Red (SPA) ¿?-> Rojo (red colour)

[David Planella]

** Description changed:

- From last update it appears the word "rojo" where it has to be "red" because in Spanish NETWORK is called RED, but I don't know how "someone" has translated a word already translated and as a result "red" has been translated as an english word to "rojo". 
- Rojo in Spanish is red colour !!!! NOT NETWORK !!!
+ * Impact of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix
+ to the stable release
+ 
+ When displaying the main Ubuntu Netbook Remix UI, Spanish users are
+ presented with a completely wrong and misleading translation of the
+ 'Network' tab.
+ 
+ The proper translation of 'Network' in Spanish should be 'Red', and not
+ 'Rojo' as it is currently translated in the distribution package. 'Rojo'
+ is the name for the colour 'red' in Spanish, which somehow might have
+ confused the original translator.
+ 
+ This translation is not only misleading to users, but due to its high
+ visibility (it is shown on the main UI) leaves also an undeserved bad
+ quality impression on the project.
+ 
+ * How the bug has been addressed in the development branch
+ 
+ TODO: the bug is marked as Fix committed, but the code cannot be found
+ at https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/netbook-launcher or
+ at its equivalent Karmic branch.
+ 
+ It would be useful to add the patch which fixed this issue to the bug so
+ it can be verified, rather than producing a new patch.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 
+ * Start Ubuntu Netbook Remix using the Spanish locale
+ * Once the UI is loaded, the 'Network' tab on the right is displayed wrongly translated as 'Rojo'
+ 
+ * Discussion of the regression potential of the patch and how users
+ could get inadvertently affected.
+ 
+ If the patch only touches that particular string (i.e. change 'Rojo' by
+ 'Red'), there shouldn't be any regression potential.
