I have filed a bug (

what you thought of the proposal?

Thanks,

basicly not a word

Jacopille, David — 2011-09-01T14:06:25

The word basicly, listed as a US spelling of the UK English word "basically" in the us-uk spelling list,

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation/WordSubstitution

does not appear in the New Oxford American Dictionary, Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, or WordWeb.

What is the basis for this word's inclusion?

Thanks,
Dave

Translation: layover (am.) = stopover (br.)

Greetings:

I'm new to the list.  My name is Lou Hevly and I teach English in 
Catalonia.  I'm compiling a dictionary of English idioms translated 
into Catalan, and part of the process is running these expressions by 
British English speakers to see if they are Americanisms.  I was 
surprised to find that "layover" is unknown in England and came across 
your page at 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EnglishTranslation/WordSubstitution while 
trying to google an equivalent.

Hi all,

I am new to this group, so I'd like to say HELLO!! 
How long does it usually take for an admin to message/email me about
joining the group, or does this not need to be done any more?
Also, what is the general consensus on "plugin"? Is it "plug-in", or
"plugin"; the latter seems correct to me, the former seeming more like a
"Glade plug-in" than an application plugin.

Thank you, and HI!

Wastebasket or Rubbish Bin UK translation

thoja thoja — 2011-02-26T19:07:04

Hi fellow translators,

I have just been helping out translating but have found that in some packages (notably between unity and nautilus) that Wastebasket and Rubbish Bin are named differently (Wastebasket in nautilus and Rubbish Bin in Unity). In Ubuntu 10.10 it is currently called Rubbish Bin.

I'm unsure as to which one we're using. Please let me know if I’m missing something important about these different translations or if it's already been discussed.

thanks,

James.
