960595 - Translation update proposed for apps/clock/clock.properties:snooze-button

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: fr / French, defect)

Description

[Nicolas B. Pierron [:nbp]]

The string:
Snooze

Is translated as:
Rappeler

And should be:
Reporter
(reporter l'alarme à dans 5 minutes)

And identically the button close is currently translated as:
Fermer

and should be translated as:
Arrêter
(arrêter le réveil)

Why is the button called "Close" and not "Stop" in English? 

Am I missing something, or should the original string be changed as well?

Yes. I want to file this bug for weeks, but I always forgot about it. Go ahead if you want :)

The thing is we have to find a verb on the alert and a noun on the settings that sounds natural in French. On iOS, "Rappel" is used on the alert, for instance (on the screenshot I found).

"Reporter" as a verb on the alert is indeed the best choice. My concern was about the noun on the settings view. "Report" sounds weird to me (maybe because I'm used to read "report" in English?). If you think "Report" is fine, then I'm all for "Reporter" and "Report". Benoit?

Android uses "Répétition" in the Settings (both with the standard alarm and the Timely app). I think we can use that too.

For the alert, I agree "Reporter" is better because it needs to be an action. (Or we could use "Répéter" if we wanted to enforce consistency at all costs).

What about considering « temporiser « and « temporisation » ?

We already use "Répétition" for the setting to repeat the alarm on different days :\

We can keep Rappel in the Settings and "Reporter" for the button.

The GTD says "Rappel d'alarme" for the noun and has no entry for the action.

We can try that and see how's the feedback. i.e. if the user makes the connection between the two.
