274574 - wrong translation of word "speed"

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: pl / Polish, defect)

Description

[Mirek Hankus]

In Polish translation of Download Manager word "speed"  (in download speed) was
translated to "prędkość" and should be translated to "szybkość" 
Polish word "szybkość" is "velocity" in English. 

Some info in Polish:

Predkosc jest wektorem ma kierunek, zwrot i wartosc. Przy transmisji 
danych mozemy mowic jedynie o szybkosci.

Hmmm, I'm not sure here because AFAIR "predkosc" is widely used here, even if
it's not precize.
(similar as font as czcionka, and font as kroj pisma)

First, I'd like to know which browser Mirek talks about, because Mozilla Suite
AFAIR has the same translation, but if this bug is about Suite l10n, then it
needs reassignment to [e-mail], I am only doing Aviary l10n.

I know Google is not neccesarily a source of wisdom, but googling for "szybkosc
pobierania" (note: with the diacritics that Bugzilla is unable to accept) gives
ca. 2000 results and "predkosc pobierania" - over 5000. :)

For "szybkosc transmisji" its 28 000 results and for "predkosc transmisji"  - 26
000. So both are widely used as the translation of "download speed" and
"transmission speed".

I don't mind changing this, but can anyone check how it's translated in
IE6/pl-PL and Opera/pl-PL?

IE 6.0 (6.0.2800.1106) PL: "Szybko¶æ trasferu"
Opera 8.5 (build 7700) PL: "Szybko¶æ"

These two are really synonymous and used interchangeably across the telecommunications industry in Poland (e.g. by TPSA and Plus GSM).

I am resolving this WORKSFORME, as the translation is correct (i.e. it's one of two correct versions).

Mass-verifying old l10n bugs that have resolution other than fixed.
