- Description
Please rename the start button of the wizards.
The reason is that the translation function tra() is completely ignorant of context. And at least in German the problem arises that the imperative of starting, that "start" means, is different from the noun that marks the beginning of a calendar event. In English both are "start", but not in German.
In German that is "Beginn" (as with all nouns with upper case 'b'), while the imperative of starting would be "beginne" (as with all verbs with lower case 'b'), or in the preferred more professional looking passive construction "beginnen". The verb "starten" also exists, with that it would either be "starten" or "starte", but this arises the problem that if I rename one, I must as a consequence also rename the other. It is not possible to correctly translate both!
Because tra() is igorant of context... So I have to make a decision which wrong translation does lesser damage... So please find a different string for "Start". Preferrably, since it might take aeons before tra() becomes context sensitive, one that carries the context inside the string itself, like "start wizard". This should be a recommendation FOR ALL STRINGS throughout Tiki...
