Description Will Stephenson 2005-08-10 09:30:43 UTC
s/routeing/routing/

When the network component of yast starts up or writes changes, it gives a
progress report.  One of the items is "Reading/writing routeing...".  This
should be "routing". 

(General rule when generating the gerund from a verb stem is to drop the final
'e' eg. to route -> routing, to write -> writing)

I cannot find it. Can you attach a screenshot? What translations do you have 
installed? ( rpm -qa | grep yast2-trans )

The equivalent screen show on exit has the same misspelling.

Comment 4 Martin Vidner 2005-08-10 11:31:03 UTC
yast2-trans-en_GB consistently rewrites "routing" to "routeing". I think Karl 
should be able to explain. 
Comment 5 Will Stephenson 2005-08-10 14:36:04 UTC
Bah.  Several places say "routeing" is the correct British English, so who am I
to complain?

Comment 6 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-10 16:08:02 UTC
At the moment, I do the British "translations" automatically using a word list
provided by the GNOME project.  I can add or remove words as wanted.  I don't
understand what you want me to do in the case of "routing".
Comment 7 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-13 09:44:15 UTC
Will, do you want me to change it?  How should we write it in British English?
Comment 8 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-17 08:16:36 UTC
Craig, what do you think about "routing" and "routeing" in British English? 
Maybe, it is better to switch back to "routing"?

Comment 11 Will Stephenson 2006-02-23 15:47:35 UTC
/me votes for 'routing' - 'routeing' is IMO too obscure.  But who'd ask a germanist for the correct english?

ok.  fix submitted to /work
