31154 - Inconsistency in use of describing Netscape 4.x profiles

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

When talking about old profiles the use of words are very different in the 
different dialogs.

Sometimes it's called "old version of Communicator" and sometimes "original 4.x 
profiles"

Dialogs where it happens:
1) Install Mozilla when having no mozilla profiles and a Netscape profile. The 
text says: "This will create a 5.0 profile... on your 4.x Netscape profile"

2) Press "Start Mozilla..." on a old Netscape profile. The text says: "This 
profile was create with... version of Communicator and must... Your original 4.x 
profile..."

Expected:
When refering to profiles created with old versions of Netscape Communicator you 
are consistent with the name!

Comment 5

Could we agree on the wording:
"Netscape Communicator 4.x profiles"
and:
"Mozilla profiles"

Then I can provide the nessesary diff patches.

Vera, what do you think of this? (if you can r= this, I'll a= and get it in).

There is no such thing as "Netscape 4." There's Communicator 4.x, and even 
though the public didn't adopt the name "Communicator" that's what Netscape has 
always officially called it. We can't make up a new name for it now, however 
tempting that might be!

Use this instead: "The profile you selected was created with a previous version 
of Netscape..." (and so on). That's what we're doing everywhere else.

"... based on your profile of a previous version of Netscape."

reads better as "... based on your profile from a previous version of Netscape."

"... profile files from a previous version of Netscape..."

reads better as "... profile files created by a previous version of Netscape..."
