In current builds we sometimes speak of "reminders" but also of "alarms" where probably the same is meant. This should be unified, especially in the preferences dialog.
I guess "alarm" is outdated? There are leftovers in calendar.dtd, preferences.dtd and alarms.dtd.

This patch changes the strings to "reminder". I haven't changed the entity names since this can be seen as a minor correction in the en-US localization and shouldn't require the localizers to change things. I'm not sure thats the correct way to do it, but we'll see.

This bug is for 1.0b6, so no rush for review.

I wonder if any other localizations have a similar issue.


It looks like with the rapid release schedule, Thunderbird is only taking string changes on trunk to provide time for localization - are we planning to do the same?

I'd go with the suggestion in comment 2, i.e. checkin l10n changes only to comm-central.
