Description Roger Whittaker 2005-08-18 12:58:23 UTC 
"Mio." as an abbreviation for Million is a "Germanism".
It's seen in "Hardware Config -> Graphics Cards" at the end of the install.
Comment 1 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-30 08:24:07 UTC 
The string "Mio." does not appear in any yast POT file?  Is it hardcoded or is
it part of another project (sax2?).  Marcus, can you please help with this issue?
Comment 2 Marcus Schaefer 2005-08-30 10:03:35 UTC 
It's hardcoded since years :-) nobody complained. The string is 
 
  "16.7 Mio. [ 24 Bit ]" 
 
I would prefere an "international" version which doesn't need to be 
translated
Comment 3 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-30 12:06:31 UTC 
I think an "international" version for big numbers does not exist.  Maybe, you
can play with LC_NUMERIC or mark it for translation.  Another posibility would
be, to avoid these numbers complete and use something descriptive like
"truecolor" or "realistic color display".  IIRC, that's the way how it is called
on MacOS.
Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2005-08-30 13:17:59 UTC 
On MacOS they have:

Colors: ( )  256 Colors
        ( )  Thousands
        (x)  Millions

Either use this literally or "16 Million".

Thanks for information, for 10.0 this is too late because of 
the text freeze

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2008-06-25 09:52:20 UTC 
Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
