Description FT2 2009-07-08 14:30:52 UTC
Now that bug 16607 is fixed and "live", can the following two changes to the default interface be made:

Wording "Revdelete-submit" - should read "revision(s)" plural, as this function can now affect multiple revisions.

Wording "Showhideselectedversions" - currently reads "Show/hide selected revisions". Should refer to wording "rev-delundel" instead of "show/hide", that way if "show/hide" is changed in that wording, it will also change here too. At present the "show/hide" wording is specified and would have to be changed in multiple places.

Just say "revisions".

> revisions". Should refer to wording "rev-delundel" instead of "show/hide", that

Two places isn't that much, considering how lego messages are hard to translate in some languages. Show/hide with the slash is poor language, imho. Could be "Change visibility"

Hi,

I am new here and trying to help. If you could please confirm the text for the second place, will go ahead and submit a patch for the changes. Should it be "Show/hide" or "Change visibility" ?

Thanks

As per Niklas' last comment, let's start with "Change visibility".
