814854 - Use "email" instead of "e-mail" consistently in Gaia

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

apps\email\manifest.properties
name=E-Mail
description=Gaia E-Mail

From a quick search this file is the only one using "e-mail" instead of "email" in Gaia.

I count now four instances of e-mail: two in manifest, two in strings
http://transvision.mozfr.org/?recherche=e-mail&repo=gaia&sourcelocale=en-US&locale=it&search_type=strings

This could be a lost cause, especially since this is name of the icon displayed on the screen.

Andrew, any thoughts?

Also need to understand from Pike if a change to manifest.webapp would be disruptive for our string extraction process. It's also sad to notice some locales just following en-US without establishing a glossary :-(

We should definitely be using "email" instead of "e-mail."

Stephany (CC'd) is currently undertaking a copy audit for all of Firefox OS so we should be able to catch and standardize things like this.

Thanks.

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Re localizing the manifest, the string extraction will change the en-US string allright, but it won't create a new ID, so we'll need to do manual outreach about that one.

If Matej says we should be using email, then we should definitely change it.  :jrburke is the owner of the front-end part of the email app now, so please direct any reviews at him.
